Unique Ceiling Fans: Leviton ODS0D-IDW Dual-Relay, Decora Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, 180 Degree, 2100 sq. ft. Coverage, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like it's single switch companion Leviton ODS15-IDW Decora Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, 180 Degree, 2100 sq ft Coverage, Self-Adjusting, White ... this works as both an occupancy sensor or a vacancy sensor.Like it's companion, it's commercial duty instead of just residential duty and relay based, so CFLs work fine on these.The key difference is that this switch will control two circuits from one sensor; rooms setup with two lighting levels is one scenario where this switch applies.The two sides operate on separate wiring pairs, so it can function where the feeds are split too.

(The rest is a repeat review of the single switch; this operates just the same, only that it applies to two circuits, not just one.)

Unlike other occupancy sensors, these have one very nice feature - adjustable ambient light detection.In the auto-on mode, it'll only turn on the light if there's insufficient ambient light (ie. it's dark out) and won't if there is enough light (ie. daylight through the windows).Likewise, it can be completely disabled for manual-on/auto-off operation only (Title 24).The coverage is excellent and sensitive - you walk into the room, and it knows you're there, unlike some cheaper ones in which you'd almost have to dance right in front of the sensor for it to detect anything.Even at the far end of the hallway here, over 20 feet away, it can detect motion.If you don't want that much range or angle coverage, you can adjust those down too.

Style wise, it's nice that the sensor isn't like some pucker mouth protrusion as with some other models.It is sleekly integrated with the rest of the switch.

Installation wise, NO neutral wire is required.A common ground wire still is, however.It is wider and deeper than a regular switch, though, so you may have issues if your j-box is small.

Minor nit - the time delays are preset.Too minor to ding a star, though - the other features, besides the fact that IT WORKS, more than justify the 5 stars.
