Can this sensor works in a varanda (porch)? The varanda is covered and the sensor will be turned to the wall. Not direct sunlight on the sensor.

It will, but I don't recommend it, also I don't see what u r working with so it is all up to you on what is the purpose for it.

Mine have been on my front and back porches for over a year and they are still doing fine. They are sheltered by my overhang from rain and sun, but not temperature. Temperatures have gotten down to around -8 degress f and have reached about 106 degrees f in summer.

If it is out of the weather and direct sunlight I would think it would work fine.

North side of my house (where I have three of these lights installed) is shaded and lights do NOT come on during the day. The light sensor is sensitive enough that even on cloudy days, the lights do NOT come on.

There is a sensitivity sitting...when we 1st installed ours it would flip the light on when a car would turn the corner in front of our house because the headlights would shine in. The window is a privacy window..distorted not like a clear window. If your window is clear and the motion sensor/switch is pointed at the window I would think it would work but if it's dark out which is probably why you want it then it may not "see" the movement to flip on. I use it in my front entry (with privacy glass beside the door)and it doesn't come on until I open the door.

Yes... it may turn on when windy. You can adjust the sensitivity which should help.This is a very good sensor guaranteed for 10 years by Mfg. Take note that all sensors may not be compatible with LED light bulbs.

No, it is designed to be place in the INSIDE of an outside wall. It works by microwave motion sensing, which works through a wall.

I think this light would work perfect in that situation. I have experimented with the settings of mine and found that the motion sensor is just as sensitive in a lighted environment as in the dark. Also, the brightness is great enough to add extra illumination, even in already lit areas.

Yes. However, I use this on an outside security light, and it works well. As suggested, for an inside sensor, I would go with a switch sensor. I use one of these in my house, and it works well also.

It is activated by motion. There is a switch that you can set to adjust sensitivity, so that it will work with other light around. You can also add a little shield over a portion of the sensor, where it won't see motion or light, to make it ignore windows, or trees rustling in wind.

Yes- I mounted the senor on an exterior LED light assembly over the front door. I modified the light enclosure to accept the sensor and wired it into the 115 volt wiring inside the light without a problem. Worked first time!

I believe it would work provided the switch on the light was left in the ON position, your porch switch would then control power to the light. There is an identical light on Amazon that has a motion sensor in it that is advertised as a porch light. You may want to look at that one too.

I use one sensor and it alerts me in 2 locations on my property, Bugs running across it can set it off. Needs some light to make it work too.

The Motion Detector can send the signal from a backroom of the house to the front porch - when I work at daytime in the yard. The detector and the sensor can be switched to any place practical. Very good battery life of both devices.

No, it is not an outdoor unit! The cushioned areas will get waterlogged and there are bolt holes that would eventually fill up with rain water. If a porch was covered, it could work but not exposed directly.

Don't believe so. Don't think sensor is weatherproof. Ours is installed inside.

My husband installed it and I remember him complaining about the sensor being only controlled by sunlight (dawn to dusk). So we ended up putting a programmable timer in the series and plugged that into the outlet. Involves some wiring but simple enough.

It should work because it senses motion, glass is transparent like the cover over the sensor. Good luck.

Yes, but it requires a system to work, it does not work by itself. Here is a discount link http://fbuy.me/_1nu. Additionally this the first version of the motion sensor, the newer systems have a different sensor that only runs on batteries, this can run on batteries or be powered via a USB plug.
