on ok but off ? I would like to ask you. I have a Vera Lite understand that the sensor activates a scene on a light it automatically, but the question is how to turn off? is automatic? as I resolve this? Thanks

In this sensor's normal operation, it stays triggered to ON for four minutes before resetting to OFF. If motion is repeatedly detected within 4 minutes, it stays ON. There are three sensitivity settings, at the most sensitive, it will pick up some rather slight movements. If you can set your program to monitor the status of the sensor to turn the light off after the sensor returns to off, that should work. If 4 minutes isn't enough delay, there is also a "Test" mode in this sensor that eliminates the 4 minute reset time and it will continue sending out ON signals every time motion is sensed. You could program in your own time delay in this mode. No clue on how it would affect the battery life.

I have these switches controlled through the Vera system to turn on and off with motion detectors. You could have motion turn the lights on to 50% and then manually adjust if needed.

How do you turn off the AUTO SET? Your help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks much!

I haven't used these light that I got yet but did tinker with them enough to know that you can turn the modeling light off and the strobe will fire fine. I can't say about removing them but since you can turn them off I don't understand why you would want to remove them. My suggestion to you would be to remove them and see for yourself what happens. I would assume that if you can remove them you can put them back on???

Each of the four buttons on this device are designed to control a SCENE (i.e. multiple devices). A lamp module can be part of a scene. For instance - my "Good Morning" scene turns on lights in the upstairs hallway & stairs, the entryway, my study, the kitchen and a floor lamp in the family room. The floor lamp is controlled by a lamp module. You cannot dim individual lights within a scene using this device but I suppose you could create a scene consisting of just one light if you wanted to. Then you should be able to use the dim/bright feature. BTW - I use a Vera Lite device for whole house control. It seems to work well, is fairly easy to set up and has an iPhone app so you can control your lights from your iPhone.

You can totally turn off the display on the 2E. There are three brightness settings plus off. I keep mine off. Turn it on when I need to see, then off when I am done.

Mine goes off once it is very bright outside. It stays on well after dawn. It stays on when it is bright enough to read a newspaper right next to the sensor, adjust sprinklers in the hard, drive a car without lights. I emailed customer service about this issue and their answer was: "There are no adjustments to the photo sensor, if the sensor is located under the eave it is possible that it's not receiving enough ambient light to turn it off. Try installing some reflective or mirrored tape close to the sensor to see if that will direct enough light to the sensor to turn it off." I am going to try the tape, but it does not work as promised, and it is an expensive unit. Not happy. Mine goes off once it is very bright outside. It stays on well after dawn.

yes, you could turn off the motion detection. There is no need to active it all the time as it will automatically take photoes when vistors press the button.

The sensor light does not stay on after movement or motion stops. I never timed it, but it goes off after a couple of seconds. Your batteries will last. I haven't replaced mine yet and i still give it 5 stars.

If you can contact the manufacturer and ask them and post it, I would like to know the answer also. I have turned mine off and re-configured the lights to a different position where they would not be over the sensor, or close to one another and the strobing stopped at least temporarily. I would try that, but also call the manufacturer and ask them what they would suggest, and maybe they have a permanent solution.

I suffered the same problem with the two light version. I was able to eliminate the strobe by reducing the sensitivity of the motion sensor - for a while. It started again later and I eventually I gave up on the system - I removed it completely and installed a different system using Insteon motion sensors which run independently of the lights. It's a much more complex installation but it works well because I can put the motion sensor in the best spot for motion detection and the lights where they will do the most good. This way the lights and motion detectors do not interact.

I use the option "manage delays", so after 4 minutes delay i turn off the lights. Btw, the sensor reset after 4 minutes.

I keep mine in the "AUTO" position. When in the holder during daylight hours it remains off, in the dark the "Night Lite" stays on unless there is a light on in the room. At any time, day or night if I grab it out of the holder the light is a constant "ON". When in hand I will turn the control to on or off depending on what I need. When it goes back in the holder I put it back to "AUTO". This question got me wondering so I went around the house and checked them all, they are all working properly. I don't see a way to replace the battery, I'll look into that.

No, you can't override any of the activities except to turn on or shut the entire unit off using a pin switch. The switch disconnects the battery so the light doesn't come on during shipment or handling. It arrives in the "off" position and you must turn it on after installation or it won't work. If the light were to remain on, the battery would discharge in an hour or two and the unit would turn off. The brief "on" time is to preserve the battery life so it will function most of the night. It will emit a glow (low power) as soon as it gets dark so you can actually see in the immediate area. It will brighten for about 30 seconds when the motion sensor activates it. The glow is about like a 10 watt bulb and the bright is about like a 60 watt bulb. Hope this helps.

I agree with David. I have mine on a switch and simply turn the switch off if I don't want it to come on that evening or if I want to turn it off early. No need to disable the photocell. It's a great light, very bright and very economical. I've had it for a year now. Jim

You can chose channels for your flashes " you have 4 channels on the triggers A.B.C.D " and you can switch off any channels you can . But i think you can`t control the power on the lights from triggers

There is a sensor on the front of the camera, directly in-line with the IR lights, that senses when the lights should come on and off. As far as I know, there isn't any option to set a schedule for the IR lights, or even any way in the settings to turn them on/off manually. This can be a drawback. I've also noticed that when the lighting is between the IR on and IR off stage, the IR lights will cut on and off every few seconds. You can hear when they come on... they make a *click* sound. Click on... 2 seconds pass... click off... repeat over and over until the lighting goes up or down. This rarely happens, but if the light gets just right...
