4 reasons not to waste time and money

Where to start. Product literature is incomplete. You must visit the website for complete information. For example the control settings aren't even mentioned, I think the sheet is included. You mention green LEDs, I haven't seen them blink yet. I use it to power a 4 inch LED strip in a room next to my basement laundry room. The installation would be a joke if it wasn't so serious. There is no way to connect the ground, my picture shows my temporary wiring. Does not fit on a standard box. All of the wiring in my basement goes through standard outlets at the appropriate points. The connectors in the block are hardly suitable for low voltage applications - there is no depth for cable routing. There's no room to bend standard solid wiring without first removing the circuit board. Even my thin 3-wire wire had to be tinned at the ends to get a good connection. The motion sensor is really so sensitive that I had to put a screen around it to limit the sensitivity. He needs control. If I leave the door open it works from 20 feet horizontally. She seems very sensitive to electricity. Violation. When my dryer (in another room) is powered up with a dedicated line to a 200 amp junction box, it works. In the literature, the illusion is created that it can be attached directly to the ceiling, there are even screws and dowels for this. It might be subtle, but you can't use it without breaking most electrical codes. It's beautifully made, and if it were a small electronic device that connected to lightbulbs without wires, it would be perfect.

Pros

Cons
