How sensitive are the switches? I have 3 cats I'd prefer the light not just turn on when they run across the room.

If the cats move in front of the sensor, at the height where is installed, they might activate the lights. otherwise, if they just walk on the floor passing by the room, the switch will not be activated. My dog comes and goes from our laundry area without activating and turning the lights on.

They are adequate to do the job and have worked well. As to whether they would be activated by cats or a small dog, I don't know. Unless some other user has direct experience with that situation, you may have to buy one and try it to find out.

well, I assume that would depend on how often it lights up. I will tell you that my cat set it off many times a day, going up and down the stairs...it is at a dark landing at the top of the stairs...and I have been using it since October and it is going strong. Love it..and so does my kitty.

Here is an idea; it worked for me. Get your vacuum cleaner and push it up against the door INSIDE the room with you. Plug it into a power strip, so that when you switch the switch, the vacuum turns on. (This keeps you from having to find the switch on the vacuum in the middle of the night when you hear your cat scratching.) As soon as you hear the scratching, flip the switch and let it run for a few seconds. They HATE vacuums. It's in the kitty manifesto as a kitty sucker!

You set up a time interval to turn off the lights after it last detected motion. I had mine set up so that when I entered the room between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm, it would turn on the lights. After X number of minutes you define, the lights will go off. If you want them on again and are in the room, you just move so that the sensor picks you up. That being said, I strongly recommend against buying this product. It's great when it works, but for me, I was spending so much time configuring, resetting, and reconfiguring that the time/energy saved was pointless.

A room with the blinds open at 10:00 AM will keep the light off and dusk will turn it on. They are more sensitive to darkness than to light, but they also have a two position switch for light output.In my bathroom and utility room they are on most of the time when the main light is off even though the rooms aren't dark.

No. There are three light levels to cycle through and then it returns to off. I find ours to be relative touchy. Our cats have even turned it on when pawing at the side of the headboard.

This has a switch to turn it on or off. That's it. I keep it on 24/7 under a cat bed.

I have had mine for a few mths. Haven't replaced the batteries yet. But I use mine for my chicken house so they are triggering it. The light sensor is still pretty good right now. Although I do also see a tad bit difference. Right now I still reccommend it. Enjoy yours.

Just installed the alarm, and so far my medium sized cat has set if off three times. We've tried adjusting the sensitivity and location of the motion sensor, but no luck so far.

Make sure it's charged. I set mine on the most sensitive setting and on #6. My cat ran and hid! Works for me!

The switches are only lit when they are on. I put mine by my window controls so I can easily find them at night.

My motion sensor is set about 6 feet from the floor and I have two cats. One is a Norwegian Forest Cat weighing 20 lbs and comes up to my knees. My other cat is a Ragdoll and neither have set off the motion sensor yet.

Hi, I have a small Dog and the motion sensor normally turns on with she passes so I will assume it will detect your cats as well. Regards,

I put it in my closet and it does work perfectly, even i set the switch on (day) or (night) it still works fine, it will turn off after 20 seconds if there is no movement , i really have not tested it at day time, but honestly i would reccomend it.

There is an on off switch. They are either on or off, It is not a day/night setting scenario.
