Most have a capacity of up to 500 watts for incandescent bulbs and 250 watts for LED and CFL bulbs, which is far greater than any individual light bulb. Motion sensor light switches can handle a significant amount of wattage. Smart technology: Smart motion sensor light switches connect to a home’s smart hub, allowing the user to control the lights, create lighting scenes, program schedules, and change the sensitivity settings via a smartphone.Motion sensitivity: Many motion sensor light switches offer sensitivity settings that permit the user to fine-tune the level of movement that triggers the light.These switches feature a motion detector and a paddle switch that controls the dimming. There are, however, specialty models with dimmer capability. Dimming: Most motion sensor lights do not function as dimmers.
Daylight sensors have dials that let the user customize the sensitivity. If the sensor detects that the room is already bright enough, it will not turn on the lights. Daylight sensing: Sensors assess the level of ambient lighting in the room and turn the lights on or off based on that level.Motion sensor light switches include extra functions that allow the user to customize how they work. To avoid accidental triggers from sunlight, the sensor’s sensitivity allows it to ignore gradual changes in heat. If the sensor detects no body heat after a certain amount of time, it triggers the switch to turn off. If the sensor detects heat, it triggers the switch to turn on. A passive sensor detects heat given off by people and animals.If the sensor doesn’t recognize any changes over a certain length of time, it turns off the light. If the returning waves identify a change in the pattern of the objects in the room-because someone has entered or is moving in the room-the sensor triggers the switch that turns on the light.
