I would like to put this and a wireless switch in a child's room where a normal sensor won't pick up much...my question can this be run Vacancy Only?

Yes, manual ON (with switch). Sensor will turn lights OFF after no motion time out (adjustable).

As an electronics tech graduate, I can say with some certainty that the wire is low voltage. The wire is too small a gauge to handle 120 volts. Also these motion sensors only need low voltage to operate. Of course, the only way to know for certain would be to take the device apart and I'm sure I couldn't have returned it had I done so.

I would suspect it wouldn't work very well as one of the triggers is ambient light. If the room in general is bright and/or warm enough it wouldn't turn on. It's inexpensive enough to experiment though and you can always put it in your closet to find your shoes...

That should be no problem. I have 15 to 20 devices connected with no problems. This assumes wireless and not wired. It has 4 ports for wired connections although you should be able to expand that with a switch (which I also have).

Hi Tracy Behringer, You can place a device anywhere you want if it has wireless capability. No need to buy additional wires. Thanks. &gt;joffrey

Sorry, i can;t help you. I thought it was going to be a wireless sensor and it is not. It had to be hardwired and I could not do that. I tried to return it but is was after the after the available return date. I just threw it away.

Yes. That's a great spot for it. You can set it on sensor mode and when you enter the closet area it turns on.

I think it is only for setting up the time of switch on and the time of switch off during the day or the week. It may not allow to only set up for running 45 mins.

I would lean towards it will not work. I had just had my eletrical re-done and I could not make it work in the rooms where I wanted the units to be located. I ended up sending the units back and getting wireless units

If you use this as is, then you can't. If you install this with the telephone dialer, then the dialer itself is an alarm. so you can leave this unit in the utility room and install the dialer in your house. Between this sensor unit and the dialer is wireless.

I hardwired the wall switch to be "ON" all of the time. The only problem is that the humidity sensor sometimes starts the fan in response to changes in the room air even when the shower is not in use. Darn kids!

My room is 10X12. It has activated well withing that range. Position is key. Placed it in a place were the entrance of room is diagnal from system.

Absolutely! I read reviews of people that did that. Once you remove the sensor pad and disconnect it from the nursery unit, it will just be a regular sound monitor. I did not keep it just for sound because I already had one just for sound. I was hoping to have something that helped me with peace of mind ...

My experience is that the sensor must be very close to the transmitted signal. My opinion is it would not work for cable behind wallboard, etc. Could be a help in sorting out cables you can touch.

It cannot be used alone. It is not wireless.It does not send alerts.It is really to be used to move the temperature sensor of a professional Honeywell Thermostat to another location without moving the control panel. You can also use several of them to "average" the temperature reading in several locations.

I have mine in a basement laundry room. I would otherwise have to enter the dark area and cross the room to hit the light switch. When I open the door to the stairs going into the basement, I believe it is the light that floods in that is activating the sensor. It works for me.

This is the way to do it.I have one in my bedroom and for the price/space/no wires I am very happy with it.
