Dude, it should be a prerequisite to learn your method of teaching before anyone can upload a DIY video of any kind. Beautifully done sir. Very informative, interesting and easy to understand. Thank you.
I have one of those in my laundry room ... Works great ... Great vid Wild Bill ...

Hi Eddy! The IPS02 is like old faithful. LOL!
@Sparky Channel. Wow Bill! Reposting your video to answer your subscriber's questions about the line and load wires! You're on top of things and keeping it really educational. Thanks. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.

Thanks! I also had 41 seconds with no audio on the first try. Oops! The switch loop is an important concept though. We used them until 2011 when the NEC changed on that subject. Have a great day!
Thank you very much! I fixed both switches to manual.
I might install a few Leviton IPS06-1LW switches, which is the 3-way version of this switch, for my basement stairway. We only use our basement for storage, so it would be nice to not have to worry about the light switch since our hands are usually full when on those stairs.
Very nicely explained. I bought one occupancy switch and now I going to install it. Thanks
Thank you very much for your great video Sparky I didn’t know this steps for install a switch like this one, I’m going to try to put one
I like the Lutron in this space. The Lutron switch feels much nicer to me. The Leviton switch paddle has a much heavier spring tension that's annoying if you're using it in vacancy mode.

My favorite sensor, I have 11 of them all through my home, I my might add that I always put RED tape on the wire that not hot,it’s going to the light.Then I put the wire with RED tape on the red screw. Most are set at 5 minutes. Keep the classes going.
Thank you very much. I have to reset it again and glad i found your video!!

Can you use this on a 2-gang switch or only one?

Thanks! I'll have 2 more videos for this weekend that I think people will really enjoy and learn NEC code too. I'm working on them right now. It will be interesting too see how many people know this particular code.
Thank you Sparky
Is there another model that you can program so it has a schedule that makes it so you must use the switch manually during certain times of the night? For example if you don't want the light on at 230am but you still want a snack. Thanks again for the videos.

I have not seen such a thing. doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but I'm guessing you're one of only a few people who has thought of it.
Very good thanks it is helpful vedio.
I use the lutron ones in my house. I got one in the 1/2 bathroom in the main floor, the walk in food pantry, my mechanical/storage room, and the laundry/dryer room... (all mostly small rooms that you are in/out quick) Oh yeah, I even put a switch on the ceiling of my garage so the lights turn on as I drive into it. It's kind of weird to put a switch on a ceiling but it's the cheapest way to get a occupancy detector in a room. As far as I know I don't believe its against any electrical code to throw one on the ceiling. 😂 With the sensor on the ceiling it detects me better than if it was on the wall so it never accidentally turns off of I'm messing around on my work bench.

I bought 3 of these tried to hook them up and nothing on all 3. The load and hot made light come on but it never shut off . Had time on 0 for 30 sec and sensitivity on 3. The green led sensor light also only blinked on one of these. Also light switch had load, hot but no ground. Building was built in 1984 but no ground. strange !

I have this switch bit for some reason It doesnt turn on when Motion is detected. It does turn off. Is the switch bad?

You have the New Subcriber 👏👏👏👏
if I have a white neutral wire, where do I put it on the switch?
@anru2774
2 жыл бұрын
The white neutral wire just cap it off with a wire connector and dont connect it. The switch doesnt use a neutral wire.
My house was also build in the 50's and no ground wire!!! Will this switch work without one? Some will, some wont. Can I set it so that I manually turn it on and it goes off after I exit.? There are times when I'm in my office for a couple hours and the wall where the switch is located is not visible to the rest of the room!!

The Leviton IPS02 will not work without a ground wire. Sure, occupancy sensor switches will turn off when you leave the room unless someone else walks by it.
Great video Bill!!!

can this work in a three way light situation or is there another switch that can be used THANKS

I'm not sure of the specifics of this model, but there are some with a trigger input for a remote switch to turn them. there are also ways to install multiple senors in parallel so that either sensor will turn the light on.
The best video thank you.

Does this switch keep on while it detects movements? If so it would be good for the bathroom lights.

Yes it does. Millions of people have this very switch in bathrooms. It's an older model but still very popular.
@kenbrown2808

they do, but there is usually a blind spot in the bathroom where the switch can't see you. if you have a second switch you can turn on for showers, it's not so much of a problem, but otherwise, you tend to need to set it for long enough to not put a person in the dark while they're taking a shower.
Thank you very much.

I had a client that wanted me to install one the ladies washroom I told them it would be a bad idea because it needs constant motion so they wanted me to do it anyways the next day they call me back because the lights would go out when they were inside the washroom stalls 😂

Yes, it was a wonderful comment, I hated to lose it. I made an editing error on the first video. I fixed it, added a little explanation of the switch loop and put the edited video back up. Your explanation was better though. Thanks!
This might just be the solution for the pesky kids that never turn off the lights when they leave a room.
