Problematic motion detection approach

This was purchased to turn on the floor lamp when I enter the room. There are versions of this product with a wall switch, but they only work when the wall switch is plugged into a wall outlet, which was not the case in my case. The product comes with nice long cables that allow flexible placement of the lamp and motion sensor. The positive thing is that you can easily set the switch-on time. However, I would like the product to come in a two-prong (ungrounded) version, as most outlets in my old house are two-prong. However, there are more serious problems as well. First, the part that protrudes into the wall has a very large footprint. With a normal duplex socket, it would block the second socket. On the power adapter I'm using, it blocks three more outlets in addition to the one it's using. Second, my device worked fine for about three months, and then it just stopped working. There were two in the package so now I'm going to find out how long the second one lasts.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Security
