INSTEON Motion Sensor
Details
I’ll turn a light on for you.
Easily trigger INSTEON enabled lights, appliances or scenes when motion is detected. Never walk up to a dark porch or fumble through a black hallway again.
Save energy and money by automatically turning off lights when you leave a room.
Very smart.

How it works
Trigger INSTEON enabled lights, appliances or scenes when motion is detected.
After a selectable time of no motion, you can have the motion sensor turn those same lights (or appliances) off.

Motion sensitivity
Adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor to suit any location. You will be able to fine-tune the motion detection area for exact and precise operation.

Photocell light sensor
Adjustable photocell sensor allows you to set a light-threshold so INSTEON enabled lights will not be activated during the day, even when motion is detected.

Optional dawn/dusk mode
Save energy by ensuring lights are off at dawn and increase security by turning your porch lights on at dusk with Motion Sensor's dusk/dawn feature.

Adjustable auto-off
