Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After spending many hours searching for a motion detector that could be used with a lamp, I purchased this one. The need was very specific - the lamp needed to turn on from the motion of a small dog. This is the only motion sensor that looks down and out. The product does work as advertised and we feel we got our money's worth. It doesn't get more than three stars because:
- It has virtually no instructions for use. Frankly, it was pretty self-explanatory, but instructions, particularly troubleshooting would have been helpful. It took two or three days of playing around intermittently to get it properly set up.
- This product is controlled by radio frequency. Other things in my home (TV remote and garage door opener) triggered the light. Once turned on or off by these other devices, it wouldn't work again via motion detector, leaving the light permanently on or off. Changing the radio frequency solved the problem. There are four small numbered switches in both sides of the unit. By experimenting, we now have it set to two up and two down, so no more interference problems (again, instructions would have been nice).
- The motion sensor unit is designed to mount onto something and not just sit on a shelf or something; the bottom is curved. The mount is attached to the back of the unit and is not removable. The motion sensor itself is a bit horsey anyway - 3"x3"x3", but including the mounting bracket is 4 1/2 " deep. The unit is not designed to just sit on a shelf or something,
- Lastly, the part that plugs into the wall is so big that it covers up the lower plug and then some. If you have another big plug, you'll need a power strip because they both won't fit into a standard wall outlet.
