Intermatic IOS CMP DT LV Voltage Ceiling Sensor Review

We needed a hands-free way to turn on the light in our pantry/freezer and this was the perfect solution. If you have experience with house wiring (installing new light switches or ceiling fans) then this should be within your capabilities. Since this switch draws power itself, you need a neutral (white) wire. While conventional breakers can be set by breaking the hot (black) wire, doing so requires both hot and neutral wires. Make sure the circuit you are adding this switch to is powered off…

Does what it's supposed to do - it works with a time delay, recognizes every little movement and switches the light on and off. Problems with our installation were: - the instructions were minimal so I had to call my smart dad to help me figure it out - it doesn't work with the multi position switches that are in almost every room in our house including the laundry room (who whoever makes the electricity when our house was built, he overdid it) - I didn't want to put it in the bathroom, as…

Update: After over a year of impeccable operation (approx. They didn't respond to anything, not even a button press. After trying more obvious solutions like changing the lightbulb (more precisely i.e. the LED liner on the glass) and checking the wiring, I regrettably removed this from my box and reverted to a regular light switch. --------- --------- ---------------------- To enter my house from the street, open the basement door, go through the hallway and then into the basement Light…

We have a wonderful large fitted kitchen that we also use for office and cleaning needs. When my hands are full of pockets, I usually don't feel comfortable flipping a switch or walking in this dark, windowless room. Intermatic IOS-DOV-DT offered the PERFECT solution in their "busy" option. It's just plain fun to walk into a room (hands loaded or not) and the light turns on automatically, stays on while I'm there (without moving), and walk away, with this wonder device turning the light off for

This is a commercial in-wall switch with dual presence/absence sensors. It works great and appears to be well made. Dual PIR (passive infrared)/ultrasonic sensors are useful in rooms with partitions or where the line of sight required by traditional PIR may not be practical. Presence detection is accurate and precise. I installed it in my house (probably too much for a residential setting) and it only took a few minutes. It works great as advertised. The instructions are minimal but sufficient…

My wife is on a mission. She hates it when people don't turn to turn off the lights when they leave the room. She is also very good at walking around the house, turning off the lights and making sure the abuser notices her displeasure. She may be the empress of the light switch, but even a dumb husband like me knows it's frustrating. That's why I call it Marriage Saver(tm). It's easy to install, but make sure you have a neutral wire in the switch bracket. It pretty much fell right into the…
