About This Product

Let Lutron's Maestro Occupancy Sensor switch turn the lights or fan on and off for you. It's a simple, easy, and low-cost way to save energy and add automation to your home. Install a Maestro Sensor and lights/fan turn on when you enter the room, and then turn off automatically after you leave. It features XCT sensing technology to detect fine motion, such as typing at a desk or reading a book, to ensure lights won't turn off inadvertently when you're still in the room. It also learns your preferred natural light level and keeps lights off with smart ambient light detection. Program your lights to turn off 1, 5, 15, or 30 minutes after you leave the room. Alternatively, you can set the motion sensor to vacancy-only mode to only turn off the lights when you leave a room, to meet Title 24 requirements. Equipped with ambient light detection, you can customize your sensor to detect daylight so lights don't turn on with enough natural light in your room. Keeping the sleek design of the Maestro family, Lutron sensors will match the decor of any room in your home. Install a sensor in your bedroom so lights aren't left on mistakenly or in the bathroom for your exhaust fan. This Maestro Sensor works with any bulb type, including LED bulbs, or fans up to 3 amps. This switch can also be easily programmed to function as a vacancy (manual-on) sensor. Coordinating Claro Wall plates and Accessories sold separately.

Questions & Answers

Can you wire 2 120v Mastro sensors in parallel
ByMay 13, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hi Bill. No, you should not wire 2 sensors in parallel. These are electronic switches, not simple mechanical ones, so tying their outputs together can cause interference, flickering, or damage. If you need multiple sensors controlling the same lights, they must be wired using an approved multi-location setup. If you have any questions or need an appropriate recommendation, we're happy to help. You can reach us via email at support@lutron.com or by calling our support line at 1-844-LUTRON1.  We're here 24/7, so give us a call any time, day or night.

    Can it replace a 4-way switch?
    ByMar 7, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Thank you for your question! Yes, the Sensor Switch can install in the 4-way switch position, but it will require the use of Accessory Switches (MA-AS) for all other locations. When using with an accessory switch for 3-way or multi-location (more than 2 locations) applications, see www.lutron.com/occvacsensors. If you have additional questions or need hands on installation assistance, please feel free to contact our 24/7 support team directly at 1-844-LUTRON1 or by emailing us at support@lutron.com.

      Is there a motion detector switch that requires no ground or neutral?
      ByMar 5, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Thank you for your question! Our primary occupancy sensor that will not use ground or neutral to remain active would be the Maestro LED+ Motion Sensor Dimmer, MSCL-OP153M. This unit would utilize compatible dimming loads (dimmable LED/CFL or incandescent/halogen) to remain active, rather than ground or neutral. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to our Technical Support Team at support@lutron.com or give us a call at 1-844-LUTRON1.

        Does it have manual on override
        ByFeb 24, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hello! The sensor can be manually turned ON/OFF via the tap switch on the front of the unit. This will keep the sensor ON for the entirety of the room being occupied or for the duration of the timeout period (1, 5, 15, or 30 minutes) when the room is vacant or doesn't detect motion. This sensor does not feature an "always-on" override.

          Does this have night light?
          ByJan 11, 2026
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          No, the Lutron MS‑OPS5M does not include a built-in night light. It functions solely as an occupancy/vacancy sensing switch and does not feature any illumination on the unit itself, outside of the lens during programming/testing. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to our Technical Support Team at support@lutron.com or give us a call at 1-844-LUTRON1.

              my ms-ops5m has no ground wire, is it required?
              ByDec 22, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hi Harley. Lutron in-wall sensors are neutral or ground required via the green-sleeved white wire that is attached to the unit. If neutrals are available, that will be the primary connection recommendation. If you have any additional questions, or need further assistance on this installation, please reach out to our Technical Support Team at support@lutron.com or give us a call at 1-844-LUTRON1.

                Answer This Question

                Hello Asif! That is correct, the MS-OPS5M can be used with an existing 3-way mechanical switch! Please refer to the "3-Way Wiring" section of the installation guide here: https://assets.lutron.com/a/documents/0302800.pdf

                  Lutron Motion Sensor Switch Installed in walk-in pantry. I was concerned that the door trim might impact its function but it did not. Switch was easy to install.
                  by
                  This motion sensor switch works very well one you get it installed and program it the way you want it to function such as duration of on time and how much ambient light is present for it to not turn on. Installation was easy but the programming was the hard part. There was no information included in the paperwork n how to program it. I had to go to the website and also Google Youtube videos on how to do that. Once that was finally accomplished, it is working great.

                    This switch works great
                    This Lutron occupancy sensor is great it works just as it’s suppose to and it’s also pretty easy to install. I like that you can program it to different settings. It matches very well with the Lutron screwless wall plate that I have.

                      Works just the way it's supposed to
                      I needed this motion sensor switch for a long hallway from the garage to the kitchen. The light switch is not within reach when coming in the door from the driveway, and at night that is an issue since that spot is very dark. I installed this switch at the end of the hallway next to the garage entry and it has solved that problem – the light comes on automatically and I have it set to turn off after 1 minute of no motion. The programming steps are easy and you can set it to turn off 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or 30 minutes after it stops sensing motion. You can set the sensitivity at low or high, although I have not noticed much difference between the two. It is sensitive enough that even my cat will trigger the light once she’s half-way down the hallway; for humans and large dogs it triggers as soon as I enter the hallway from the kitchen, which is 26 feet direct sight from the sensor switch. You can also adjust for daylight sensing, although the end of my hallway is always fairly dim so that setting is not much different in my particular situation (set all preferences BEFORE installing the cover plate.) I felt the directions were easy to understand and I also found several helpful videos online, but once I pulled out my existing switch I found that my wiring setup was a bit different than what the instructions or videos showed – I had a third black wire and no ground wire connected to the existing 3-way switch. I used a contactless voltage detector pen to determine which black wires were hot. I called the Lutron 24/7 tech line and they walked me through the correct wiring configuration for my situation and stayed on the phone until I completed it and confirmed that the switch was working properly. That was awesome! The switch does take a couple of minutes to self-program once you turn the power back on, so don’t panic if it doesn’t work immediately. You can hear a low click when the lights come on – not a big deal for me. A 3-way application like mine requires that you also modify the wiring on the companion switch (clearly stated on step 3 of instructions) - that was very easy and requires no additional supplies. This switch is a total win for me.
