Lutron Motion Sensor Switch: A Complete Review

Add enhanced automation to your Caseta dimmers, switches, and fan controls with your Caseta Motion Sensor. Program your Caseta Motion Sensor as an occupancy or vacancy sensor to automatically control any number of Caseta devices when you enter or leave a room. One motion sensor can control many Caseta devices within up to 60 ft. and can detect motion three times better than other comparative sensors. The motion sensor features a full 180° field of view, in addition to having a typical 10-year battery life, three times longer than the industry average. Use the motion sensor for occupancy or vacancy applications wherever it's needed - no wires required. Place it freestanding on a flat surface or mount to a wall or corner; this makes the motion sensor perfect for bathrooms, laundry rooms, hallways, garages, and more. Place in a high traffic area of your home for hands-free control of your lights; alternatively, place in a low traffic area of your home so you never have to remember if you turned the lights off. Set your desired light level on each device controlled by your sensor for further customization; when the sensor switches on, it will automatically turn your devices on to the preset level. It works well with a caveat as it might not trigger the lights to turn off after a period of inactivity in certain scenarios. Highly sensitive and perfect for pantry and other areas, this sensor is a breakthrough in motion-sensing technology. It's important to note that it requires additional products for setup. Overall, the Lutron Motion Sensor Switch offers versatile and powerful automation for your smart home setup.
