Sensor Switch PIR Extended Range Ceiling Mount Occupancy Sensor | CMR 10 Contractor Select Extended Range Passive Infrared Ceiling Mount Occupancy Sensor, White

Works great installed in the garage

About 1 week, installed in Garage ceiling with 14/3 to control 4 shop lights, switch is in front of sensor (not like the instruction diagram where is is after sensor...). It works great !!! Has great coverage, as soon I step in from one of the doors lights are on, and off again when no one is present. So no more summer bugs around the windows at night etc.

It definately works. Programing is tedious.

Wiring diagram is misleading. Caused me to wire incorrectly and burn out sensor. Looked up how to wire correctly on You Tube.

This item is not cheap and has capabilities I'll never use but I bought it because the performance claims sounded good and the reviews were good. My 2-car garage is 25' wide x 20' deep x 9' high with the interior entrance to the house up a 4' set of steps in a section with a higher overhead. I mounted it to a rafter in the center of the garage. I wired it in parallel with a light switch. Using the advertised coverage pattern I understood why opening the interior door didn't trigger the motion sensor, so I removed one mounting screw and loosened the other so to tilt the sensor up in its view of the interior door and down in its view of the garage doors. Works great.

but in the kitchen,has great range,left it on the factory setting of 10 minutes,it will pick up motion at 15 feet where i have it located,works great.

Actually, I don't hate it, but I need to get someone's attention. This was delivered on 2-23-17 and I installed a few weeks after that. It comes with a 5 year warranty, but I'm not sure how to get a replacement. It broke a few days ago. According to Amazon, I can no longer return this item past 3-25-17. What good is a 5 year warranty if you can only return it for 30 days? It did work very well, while it was working.

Works well east to set up

So far the only thing I am satisfied with on this CMR 10 is the sensitivity range. It sits on the 11 foot ceiling of my garage is is monitoring a large area and detects well. What disappoints me and subsequently me giving it a poor rating is the lack of information about this model. There is no comparison of features unless you download the installation instruction from their website listed for low voltage occupancy. The line voltage instructions does not show the comparison of features. I was replacing a Leviton ODC0S-I1W sensor which has photocell capability. i.e. does not turn on lights if there is ample natural light in the room. According to the comparison sheet, I need a "P" version which was not clear when I ordered this one. All this one does is turn the lights on or off on detection of occupancy regardless of natural light level. Not great for a garage if you are working in there with the door open during the day. You won't be saving any energy with this one.
