I want a device that will turn on my entry light when my front door knob is touched, before the door is actually opened. Will this device do that ?

No, this will not do that. It will "turn " whatever you have plugged into it. A doorknob would have to be "wired directly" into an electric outlet. Hope this helps.

This unit is highly inaccurate. It might work great one time and then sensitivity might have to be turned all the way up to get it to respond at all. Very undependable. Mine is in the garbage. But, you get what you pay for. I didn't pay much , I didn't get much.

This device is only activated if there is knocking, vibration around your house when this device being plugged in.

No it won't, you have to open the door and close it before the light will go on. You have to change the presure in side the house. In my home you can turn it on by closing the bath room door, or bed room door,the fridge, or evan lighting will turn it on. But just touching the door nob will not do it, you have to open and close the door.

supposedly it will activate if the door knob is turned then the door is pushed but not successfully opened as in a door that is locked. In other words, the alarm senses the jiggle of the door. You'd have to tweek the sensitivity for it to sense the push of the door but not trigger as a false alarm.

Upon receiving the item, please check inside the plastic ziplock bag to see if it came with a silver pin. This pin is use to activiate the sensor light. Insert the pin inside the tiny hole on the light housing and push it, you will hear a slight "click". This means that the light has been activated. You're good to go. If this procedure does not work, return it. You might have a defective product.

Yes, when you open the door, the light goes on. It goes off when you close it. It turns back on when you start the cooking process.

Mounting should not be a problem since it will use screws, tape or magnets. The problem may be activating it. There has to be movement over the sensor to turn it on. I suppose it could be mounted close to the entrance and wave your hand over it. Unless the door or a movement turns it on you may have better luck with a tap light.

The short answer is no. Not a bit. In fact I like how simple it is to engage either setting. On top of this you can give the knob on the end a short twist to keep the light from coming on accidentally. For example in your pocket.

The light is on when the door is open. The timer will work as just a timer without the unit working or heating, however it will not work independently if in use.

In experience with this wonderful device, push the button in to turn it on, but the 'light' is inside and you do not need or want to see it as it will do permanent damage to your eyes! No light will turn on to indicate its' on-ness.

Yes from the first one I got it seem there is an option for "L" switch for Light fixture Outlet usage and "O" for not light usage. "L" switch will sense ambient light and not turn on while "O" will turn on the outlet when it detect motion. My seem bad I order a replacement as it not sensitive on my garage. There is a timer to set from 2 minutes to up at max at 6 minutes.

I tried to do a similar thing where they would turn on when my doors opened. U have to press the power button every time. I am sure there is a product you can buy that will allow them to do that however only having the kit u will have to press the power button every time. Hope this helps you.

I have mine wired to a light switch so when I enter the room I can just flip the switch. Unless you have a light switch wired to the closet I don't think it would work?? That's just my thought. Good luck.

it will come on when any motion is noticed by the eye. to use it as a light may not work even on a on off switch.

I'm sorry I do not know. We purchased it to use in the walk-in closet in the master bedroom as the light switch is not conveniently located. So this, a motion sensing light bulb (also Amazon order) and we open the closet door--light on.

No. This supplies power on sensing motion, as if being just plugged in, but the natural state of a touch lamp after being plugged in is "off". You need a light that will come on when plugged in, without any secondary trigger requirements. The hard-wired wall motion switches are the same way.

i think this should work whether the door opens in our out. this device uses the hole that the door latch fits into when the door closes.

No it dose not. It worked with my transformer. If you do not have one you will have to get.one. And it will not work with a lighted door button.

It comes with a pin the size of a paper clip. Insert into hole and push. Light should come on if you're in a low light area indoor.

It happens to us sometimes mostly when the door is opened quickly. What I mean is that, the knob is turned and the door is yanked open. I think the device does not process the action quickly enough. Try it yourself turn the knob, wait one second and open the door. Or try using the button to unlock the device.
