An occupancy sensor is a fully automated motion sensor that turns lights on automatically when you enter a room and turns them off automatically when you leave. This device provides the ultimate hands-free convenience, ensuring you never have to fumble for a switch in the dark or worry about lights being left on in an empty room.
The Ultimate in Hands-Free Convenience
The logic of an occupancy sensor is simple: when you're there, the lights are on; when you're not, they're off. This "Auto-On/Auto-Off" functionality is achieved using advanced technologies like Passive Infrared (PIR) or Dual-Technology to accurately detect a person's presence. Once you leave the space and the sensor no longer detects motion for a preset time delay (typically adjustable from 30 seconds to 30 minutes), it will automatically switch the lights off, saving energy without a second thought.
Best Applications for Occupancy Sensors
This full automation is ideal for high-traffic, transitional spaces, or rooms where your hands are often full.
- Laundry Rooms & Pantries: Walk in with an armful of clothes or groceries and have the light turn on instantly.
- Walk-in Closets & Supply Rooms: The light is on when you need it and off when you close the door.
- Garages: Drive in and have the lights turn on automatically for a safe and convenient entry into your home.
- Hallways: Provides safe passage at night without needing to find a switch.
