Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Leviton offers quite a few solutions that will support lower electrical expenses and add convenience to daily living. By merely replacing typical switches with occupancy sensors reduces power consumption and extends bulb life. Leviton's Decora (R) Occupancy Sensor Switches automatically turn lights ON when you enter a room and OFF when you leave. In addition to the convenience of hands-zero cost switching, motion sensors make certain that lights are not left ON unnecessarily for hours at a time. It utilizes "passive infrared engineering" in order to detect human presence in a space, and respond to the infrared heat folks naturally emit to monitor a certain region. When this "heat" is sensed, the lights will keep ON in the space, and then turn the lights OFF, when the space is vacated or are unoccupied. Compatible with Decora screwless snap-on wallplates (sold separately). Decora PR180-1LW 500W, Single Pole, three-Way, 180 Degrees, 400 sq. ft. Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, Residential Grade, White. Decora is a registered trademark of Leviton Mfg. Co., Inc.

Client Evaluations
This item has a considerably lower cost than some of these switches due to the fact it fails to make it clear that it will NOT operate with newer compact fluorescent bulbs (you will have horrible quirks if you attempt it). This can be worked around by adding an incandescent to the circuit this switch controls (if multiple bulbs). If you only have a single light on the circuit (like a closet) you will have to just use an incandescent. That being said...
I observed one reviewer mention if the power flashes off when it comes back on the lights will remain on and you will have to turn every switch on and off. I have not had this problem. When the power goes off and back on, the lights do come on but they go off at the interval you have them set at just as they would if motion had set them off.
I uncover the sensor on this switch is substantially far better than others I've had experience with (certainly much better than the GE). So lengthy as you know upfront about the previously mentioned "catches", you can take benefit and get a good deal on a sensor switch.
I was suspicious of this item, at the cost, but I purchased two of them and they are each operating properly.
The handyman did not get the three-way wired suitable, so it is important to leave the toggle switch in the on position at the bottom of the stairs, but that is no issue. Often the sensor even picks up the individual at the bottom of the stairs. If not, just flip it off and back on once or twice and that triggers the light. Then leave it in the on position. The sensor will turn it off automatically.
If it lasts, it will have been a pretty decent deal.
