I want to use this sensor as a switch for my motor. Like if there is something interfere the light, the motor will run. Is it possible?

This unit has a dry-output, SPDT relay. If all your motor needs is a closed or open circuit trigger, then yes this will work.

No. There is no on/off switch on the sensor itself. If you want that function, you should wire it up through a wall switch or circuit breaker.

Yes but you will want to look into the Arduino motor shield or something like it.

I'm using the switch as an on/off/auto for a electric car fan. It is double pole/double throw, so you can do two of something (fans, pumps, whatever) if you want. So it would be off/off, on/on, or auto/auto. If i understand you correctly you want to run the pump normally controlled from of a sensor "auto", then force "off" even if the sensor says to turn it on, and then also force "on" if the sensor says no. If that is the case then YES this switch will work. The switch completes the circuit in two positions, and is "open" in another position.

Yes, you can trigger this to turn on and off with a photo motion cell...what you need is an X10 spot light module. I use four motion sensors located around my garden which turnson two of these connected to motors that rotate and rattle pie pans. It works to keep deer away...These pro modules are much more reliable than the X10 switches, but youwill need X10 spotlights...I hope they still make them.

Only the light with this sensor will detect motion but once that motion IS detected both lights will turn on as long as the light with the sensor gets power first.

Yes, it can be. I have 3 of these and have covered the sensor (the small little hole, not the white translucent plastic bulge), and that way the sensor turns the light on if there is motion day or night. I see someone else said no, but I don't think they did it right, because it works on all 3 of mine. PS - I used black electrical tape so that the sensor would be well blacked out.

This is a good all around switch. I've used it on a motorcycle. I'm not sure of your application, but the switch has functioned well for me with no problems. I use a relay on the run circuit,

This motion sensor does not directly control the light. It sends a radio signal to an X10 controller which communicates with a X10 module, telling it to turn on or off. If that module is appropriate for use with a CFL or LED, it should work just fine. Unless you already have X10 modules though, this is probably not the right purchase for you.

Hello Jose ! I don't think it will mess up your motor. What is the problem with your motor ? Do you have spark or is your motor not running very well ? I need more information. This product is only designed to give a spark which makes the motor run, so I can't see it messing up a motor.

YES. It is perfect for that situation as long as you cross the sensor's field of view, the light will turn on.

I have mine connected to a motion sensor and it works fine. However, there is a noticeable delay in the turn on time

I have no idea but I don't know why not, for I'm not sure if it would even turn on the sensor. Try it and let me know

From, my experience, no. The sensor requires a lot of light to shut off. Mine was on all the time.

I'm sure the light sensor would not work well. Ours triggered on very cloudy dark days. You could use it as a standard light though.

Yes you can adjust the sensor but not to do what you want it to do. This is not a "I wave my hand over the switch to make it come on" switch. See all the settings possible here: http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/048461.pdf

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.
