In this video I show you how to install a motion sensor light switch also known as an occupancy sensor, so that the lights don't stay on in specific rooms for long periods of time while nobody is in them. This can help cut down on unnecessary electric costs.
Items Used:
Lutron Motion Sense Light Switch: amzn.to/3oA1sbC
Electric Screwdriver: amzn.to/2L6qIbZ
Voltage Tester: amzn.to/3tdySAs

I can't thank you enough for the detailed instructions, the manufactures are pretty limited and have to admit I wire it incorrectly the first time, didn't understand the silver wire was actually ground. Have replaced all switches in my house with no problem but this one was a bit different and overlooked installation of the silver wire ... all is working now and no more finding garage light on all night!!!

@jgnichol1
@jgnichol1 Год назад
IT DOES MATTER where the black wires go. One side is the hot load and the other side to the device. If yours does not work, try reversing the wires. That did teh trick for me. All else correct - the white bundle is the neutral as described.

Don't ask how I learned this...but I always test with my meter BEFORE turning off the breaker, and then after. Yes, a bunch of things had to come together for a hair raising result, but it's good to make sure the meter is working.

A quick tip for those toggle switches, if the light turns on when in the ON position, the top screw is the one with the hot wire, bottom is the switch leg

Very informative! When I removed my light switch I found that there was only a black wire and a red wire connected to the switch. Inside of the box I do have the ground wire and white wire I am just curious what should the red wire be connected to being that this motion sensor has 2 black wires. Thanks in advance.

Interesting. I thought about using these at one time as my son never turned lights off. In the end I used my Smartthings Alarm Motion sensors and switches to do the same. The only other thing I did was make a cheat so when my son wanted to play hide and seek, I knew exactly where he was. :-)

I have installed a couple of motion auto light switches, single pole. My house light switches don't have a ground. These switches say they don't require a ground, but after installing them, my led light fixtures flicker randomly. I only have a two wire with no ground system. White and black. On one switch the hot is black and the other switch the hot is white. I think wires are crossed somewhere along the line. My question is 1, the black being HOT, is the white considered neutral? I've heard it was, but the switch has terminals marked hot and load. Is load neutral? I see switches on Amazon that say requires neutral but not ground needed. Will these "neutral required" switches work with my wiring? Thanks in advance for your.

@SandyFoster-ic2xl
@SandyFoster-ic2xl 4 месяца назад
This is a very good explanation. The problem is my Lutron came with a blue wire, a green wire, AND a naked brass wire as well as the two black wires. Plus it was complicated by having two fixtures on the same switch. The hot wire was not labeled as such and the load wire went to a separate switch that operates the fan in the bathroom. That said, I am quite certain I connected everything properly. I connected the blue wire to the white neutral wires and then, through trial and error figured which was the hot wire. I then connected one black wire to the incoming hot wire and the other black wire to the outgoing wire. I get an electrical signal. I can program the fixture to turn on etc.I get blinking lights in the sensor etc. BUT the lights do not turn on. Have I done something wrong? Or is this particular sensor faulty?

Thanks, I didn't unstand the white wire on the motion switch. I was making an extension cord with the motion switch and out on the the end. Now when I wak in the shop the fan and radio turns on, or whatever. I know, totaly unnessary but fan. I have wire normal stuff but the this one stumped me. Dan B

OK, Mr. Carr; Thanks. But, I have a question. If you have another light switch down line in a serious after this switch how is the wiring done? I did the initial wiring but the down line switch only works automatically if the first sensor is tripped on. Thanks.
