Questions and Answers for Leviton Decora In-Wall Motion Sensor Light Switch, Motion Activated, Auto-On/Auto-Off, 2-Amp, Single Pole, White

A:  That’s a question better addressed by calling your local building department. These sensors are only designed to work when there’s no neutral available. Remember that a downstream neutral can go to 120v if an upstream neutral wire nut connection fails.

A:  It will turn on when someone walks past it - would need to adjust the timing as only motion in the range of the sensor, which appears to be outside the closet, would keep the light on, not inside.

A:  This depends on if you have a so-called soft start fan or one that starts up immediately. The latter require the unit to be rated for inductive loads (high in-rush current) which this one is not.

A:  considering there is no dimming functionality on this sensor, the lights should be full on / no flicker.

A:  This is called a switch loop. Power (should) come in on white (line) and leave on black (load). The white wire should be reidentified with e-tape (black is most common, but so long as it’s not white, gray, green, or green with yellow stripes, you’re good.

A:  This device requires a connection to line, load, and ground.

A:  Reread the specification. It says 250 WATTS, not VOLTS. That wattage rating is for traditional incandescent light bulbs which are resistive loads. LED or CFL lighting loads on the other hand are restricted to 150 watts.

A:  This device is rated for 120V only.

A:  You can always turn the light off at the switch, however, it cannot be programmed to stay on without motion beyond the timeout period.

A:  There are 4 time out options: 1, 5, 10 & 20 minutes.
