Equipped with passive infrared (PIR) sensing technology, thel switch turns lights ON when a person enters a room and OFF when they leave – automatically.

will post more when i get it and installed.

i bought the Legrand Wall Automatic Switch and had it installed.

Now i got auto light on and off. so each time return home will have auto light on, and when parent goes toilet at night will have lights too.

what a beautiful new switch.

Its working great, just the respond time a bit slow to my liking...

here can adjust the time off delay and the light detection level setting.

well have to check in the morning, how the sensor works.

Just one problem, this cannot works with the fluorescent lamps, energy saving bulb, with Transformers ect.

only can use the normal incandescent lamps.

now i got 3 extra bulb, which none of my other lights use.

hi alexter, can check with you if the automatic switch must be installed onto an exisiting light switch?

there are a few type..

this is the most easy for me to DIY. just change the light switch.

there are wall /ceiling mount type. if you have switch have more then 1gang.. like 2 or 3 gang to fews lighting point.

you can use the ceiling mount type and link the wire to the light you want to auto control.

not sure because i use the wrong bulb when i installed yesterday... that the switch light level detection like not good. because in the day.. i walk pass the light also auto on.

small problem...

hmm, think mine will be problematic

coz i'm using energy-saving bulb, and the light switch is a 3gang one

worst is the switch is not where it should be i.e. i got to walk to the end of the kitchen to switch on the light :bangwall: :bangwall:

no worry...

still can be done.

you just put the sensor near the light, mount it into the false ceiling.

the ceiling mount sensor can use energy saving bulb, as it is better.

my old house using that.

becasue i did not do any false ceiling hence i try the wall mount one.

i just ask my dad to test out the light.... it works, no auto on with enough day light in the house.

perfect...

Hi alexter,

So you will be installing a CCTV? got any lobang??

Thinking of installing one at my house too...

well its a cheap painting. less then $100

and will set a camara outside.
