I want a switch that turns on the light when I enter the room and turns off when I leave. Will this switch work for me?

Yes. You can slide the switch to ON and it will act like a regular light switch. Or you can slide it to AUTOMATIC (you adjust the timer to your liking) and it will act like a sensor. I have had my sensors (6) for over 3 years and love them. They were cheaper on Amazon than Lowes or Home Depot.

Yes you can set the timer. However if you set the time to too shorter a time you may find that the lights may go off on you while still in the room if you're not moving around.

Yes ad long you used incandescent bulbs Theae bulbs are the old fashioned bulbs. Please note this sensor will not work with the newer CFL or LED bulbs. And wiorks great like in a laundry room for example.

It has an on/off switch, but it doesn't have any other functionality. Guessing that if you just leave the light on and control it from the electrical outlet with a timer of some sort then it could work. Hard to say. Great light though.

i opted out of wireing the light to work, but im pretty sure it turns on when the switch is turned to the on position.

It does for me on an outlet that I control with a switch. Should work the same with a timer. It's been a great accent light for us.

This is a on/off switch that you can connect to anything that has a footswitch jack. The light will work if the jack is configured to work with a light. I use it for a Lexicon Effect Unit that I wanted to turn on/off when playing live.

Yes, this light is wired for a light switch to stay on for motion, or switch off if you don't want the light to come on.

No. The switch is rated for the low voltage (24v) and current associated with a room thermostat. Although this device could be used to control an intermediate device which in turn could turn a light on or off.

If you leave the lamp in the on position and the switch turns on/off one or both of the female plugs, iand you plug the lamp into the controlled outlet, it should.

It is supposed to work that way and does so when it works. It doesn't necessarily work properly. I find myself having to play with the switches to get them to turn on/off the lights

No because since it controls 3 outlets it works even in other rooms. I have it set to control 2 lamps in the living room and 1 in my bedroom. That way I can carry the remote with me and turn the BR light on and when I get in there I can turn the living room lights off. You will never have to enter or leave a room without light on or turning one off.

No. I will basically give you an on/off for a light. Look for a light dimmer which regulates voltage.

It should. This switch is designed for a 3-way switch, which in spite of the name means that the light is controlled by two different switches. Your switch is evidently a single pole, that is, that one switch controls the light. You can probably buy a less expensive timer for that purpose, one designed for a single pole.

Yes! You will have the choice to turn your light on/off using your switch, as well as setting it for motion security.

Yes, it works just fine, I have all of these switches with led lights, the switch doesn't care what light it is controlling

this light sensor can detect the lighting, when the lighting put on it, it will turn on the switch, when not lighting, it will turn off the switch

We used it for a closet light that we wanted to come on when the door is opened. It has a built in low voltage transformer so you can install low voltage cable to the door frame and install a magnetic relay/switch

If the room is dark it will turn on anytime. It has to have movement & dark. I love mine!
