We are moving, leaving our house in the hands of a realtor. Will this device work if we want a light to go on at 5pm and off at 10:30pm each day?

Yes, but in your case you do not need the remote on off switch. A regular appliance timer will do.

Yes, also it can also turn lights on/off multible times each day, in addition the on/times can be set to automatically change the on/off times each day. It gives a lived in look. Hope this helpsBobby

I leave mine set to the on position always. There's a motion sensor so the light stays on & will automatically go off after about 30 seconds after closing my door. Otherwise, depending on what you're using it for you could mount on wall or door & keep in off position & then manually turn on when you need it.

Hi Roberta, it depends on how dark the shaded area is during the day. I have two lights inside my home, away from direct, natural lighting. Except on very overcast days, the lights have not been activated by motion. I think it is worth considering.

Yes, it would work fine. The sensor is located in the post and below the light fixture. The frosted glass therefore will not affect the sensor's ability to detect motion. It can be set to come on at dusk for the amount of time you set. It works perfectly and mine is one of the best purchases I have made.

No I don't believe it will work that way. The light will be dim, and go brighter when motion is detected. I don't believe you can cover up the motion sensor without also covering up the Day/Night sensor as well, as it's all behind the same sensor "window".

No this timer will not work for your needs. You need a cycle timer. I don't know of one that will work on night time setting..

It should, you can set the sensitivity level and the length of time the light stays on.

This unit should work just fine...it just needs darkness and motion. I have been using the Mr. Beams (MB723 Battery-Powered Motion-Sensing LED Stick-Anywhere Nightlight, 3-Pack) for inside my house and they work great and are a cheaper option.

I didn't hook mine to a motion sensor because it only last about 10hrs of run time. But using an motion sensor with a controlled outlet should work. This light came with a plug already installed.

The unit works best with the rest of the room completely dark and, unless you have a really bright street light shining directly into your window, you should be fine. The unit already has two timed settings but yes, you can plug it in to one of those little $5 timers that you would use with a regular lamp.

Yes. It will not come on during the day when it senses motion, but the little red light on the sensor will blink.

I'll share how we use ours, and perhaps that will help you. The can lights on our porch are on a photocell so they come on when it gets dark outside and turn off in the morning when it gets light. The electrician wired it with a switch inside so we could turn them off if desired. We put this timer in place of the switch and programmed the timer to turn the lights off at 10:30 pm and turn them back on at 5:30 am. It works beautifully. It overrides the photocell during the night, and then the lights turn off when the photocell recognizes enough daylight. Some nights we manually turn the lights off with the switch. The lights always turn on at 5:30 in the morning as programmed. I'll share how we use ours, and perhaps that will help you.

I am planning to have 3 of these units all connected to a 3 way dimmer and a regular switch on the other side of the house.... will the wait 2 seconds always ON feature work with this set up?... ans also.... would you do the wait 2 seconds action again to put it back on automatic motion mode?

it will do about anything you want it to.just have to watch how you program it.i have about 6 in my house.the timers control 80% of my indoor light.i do not have to worry about turning off lights when i go to sleep.my outside lights are on one of these timers.

With the switch set to the right place motion will turn the light on at any time. In another position it will come on with motion at night and stay off during the day.

Yes it will work all night.the instructions will tell you how.however it is primarily a motion light not one that stays on constantly.

I believe that you will need to adjust the timer. There are various settings that you can adjust to meet your lighting and security purposes. You may have the timer set in the test position. I would check here first, the switch is located on the bottom side of the sensor.
