I use the option "manage delays", so after 4 minutes delay i turn off the lights. Btw, the sensor reset after 4 minutes.

You can turn the light off manually, through some other scene/timer, or ... if you want the sensor to turn it off without activity, you can create a scene for "no trigger." In other words, when there is "no trigger" of motion, the scene causes something to happen (like turning off the light).

In this sensor's normal operation, it stays triggered to ON for four minutes before resetting to OFF. If motion is repeatedly detected within 4 minutes, it stays ON. There are three sensitivity settings, at the most sensitive, it will pick up some rather slight movements. If you can set your program to monitor the status of the sensor to turn the light off after the sensor returns to off, that should work. If 4 minutes isn't enough delay, there is also a "Test" mode in this sensor that eliminates the 4 minute reset time and it will continue sending out ON signals every time motion is sensed. You could program in your own time delay in this mode. No clue on how it would affect the battery life.

A. No, light sensor leaves light off during day even when motion detected. B. If light switch is off, lights are off and sensor has no control.

This light has 3 positions switch. In auto position, the light will turn on at night when it detected motion within range (it has light sensor). In manual mode, light stay on like a flashlight. In off mode, unit is off. Hope my answer help.

once you have wired the unit and put the unit on the ceiling (in my case), you do not need to turn on the lights. You adjust the unit to automatically turn off. bottom line: you walk in the room and the light goes on and after you leave the room it will automatically cut off. works well for me.

yes it has an on off switch. it seems to react to movement but i cant see any sensor.

Well, they send those tubes of different lengths to block the light to make it turn "on" well the same tubes make it stay on during the day as well. I took mine and threw them away , tried with out any tubes. It still stayed on. Throw entire sensor away and use manual on off switch. Wish I had better answer.

The sensor light does not stay on after movement or motion stops. I never timed it, but it goes off after a couple of seconds. Your batteries will last. I haven't replaced mine yet and i still give it 5 stars.

The light will not stay on continously once the motino sensor is tripped, unless its malfunctioning or running low on battery power. I found it says on for 30 seconds, then turn off regardless if you are in front of the sensor moving around. It will then to take about a full second before it will come on again if you move around the sensor.

There's also a sensor slider switch between lamp and reset switch... I believe it's a motion sensor. If it does not sense any movement for awhile, it will shutoff. Switch this to off if you want the stars continuously on or timed for an hour.

I suffered the same problem with the two light version. I was able to eliminate the strobe by reducing the sensitivity of the motion sensor - for a while. It started again later and I eventually I gave up on the system - I removed it completely and installed a different system using Insteon motion sensors which run independently of the lights. It's a much more complex installation but it works well because I can put the motion sensor in the best spot for motion detection and the lights where they will do the most good. This way the lights and motion detectors do not interact.

Is this true: if you send the "On" command via a z-wave controller to this switch, you can turn the lamp on and off through the lamp switch, until you send the "off" command? Or do these switches automatically turn off when there's no more power draw? But I agree with the statement "if you don't leave the lamp switch "on", you won't be able to remotely turn it on, defeating the purpose of the system".

It has 3 modes plus off -- off, high, low, strobe. If you click the end button all the way, it goes off-high-off-low-off-strobe. Once you turn it on, you can then click it half way and it goes high-low-strobe-high-low-strobe. You need to click it all the way again to turn it off.It is very bright on high. The high and strobe are very irritating if aimed right at people.

You set the switch for how you want the light. Auto uses the EYE and timer and there is a ON switch so it can be used like a standard light. And of course an OFF switch for when you don't want it on. These are the best lights, and easiest ones, I have ever bought.

No it doesn't work as simple light switch. There is an on off function for the sensor though. I do not see a lack of this function as a problem at all. :) I still recommend this.

Depends on how you have it configured. If you have it set to turn the lights on when motion is detected you can either turn it off by pressing the button (it will stay off for a period of time, but not as long as you might like if you intend to hang around) or, as JK in SD suggested, pull the tab at the bottom (which disables the device). I wouldn't treat the tab as a regular solution, and wouldn't buy this product for use in a room where you would regularly like the light to be off (unless manual on occupancy off is what you have in mind). Also, it has a light sensor, so it automatically turns on based on ambient light.

Dusk to dawn can be turned off. I have mine connected in place of the devious generation of IR sensing light and it works fine with the light switch to turn it on solid or auto switch like you said. A good buy too!

I installed two of these sensors with my Vera Lite and they work very well. Vera can remotely arm or bypass. Vera can send notifications on trigger events (for instance if opened or closed) or low battery condition. Recommended for Vera Lite.
