Thanks Jake, I really appreciate your support

Thanks Jeff. The instructions that came with the switch mention nothing about a red wire in the box so I'm glad I found your video just to be sure I connected things correctly.

My pleasure to help out Robert V. - sometimes the directions are a little vague :D

Interesting video. I wish that you demonstrated its functionality at the end. I have questions on room size, height of sensor location, proximity of a door, traffic in the area, LED or incandescent load, etc. Will look deeper into this brand. Thank you.

This video was very helpful, since I did not use the red wire before, just the two black, like single switch, but.... could not set the timer (no blinking lights) and the light would not shut off. So I was excieted to try the two blacks together and the red. The timer setting on the motion switch worked for the first time, but... still the light would not shut off. So I added two and two, and moved the black wire back to the location of the red wire, and viola!! Success!... so result is hit black wire alone, slave black wire and red wire to other terminal. As usual, green to ground. Feel like I got my brain back... lol.

line and load.. line from the power and load to the light... thank u for your video

I actually had the opposite problem, kid that won't turn the light off after leaving the laundry room 🤦‍♂️ thanks for the detailed video!

Thanks, Shipmate. this was very helpful and wife won' t trip now fumbling for lights with laundry basket in her arms.

I only have a black and white wire coming out of box. Help!!

I'm trying to replace my old worn out motion sensing switch. In my case though there is a separate wall switch that controls the same 1 overhead light bulb. Otherwise awesome video!!!

You need to twist your wires together before you put the wire nut on

Hey Kenny, you know what, you're totally right. That would be a better way to do it and I chalk this up to a huge BRAIN FART. Thanks for pointing this out.

Jeff my box it looks like what you are showing in the video. But I don't see the ground wire. Only the white ones neutrals. I connected with out the ground wire. But it doesn't work if I don't hve a ground. Where to connect the ground from the sensor ?

Worked for me , thumbs up ! Thanks man

I only have a black and a red wire. What would you guess the red wire is ?

I have a light and a motions sensor in different locations. The light and its switch is wired with Black, White, and Ground. I want the motion sensor (with Black, White, Red, and Ground) to turn the light ON/OFF when the switch is powered ON. What is the correct way to wire the motion sensor.

Hi I want to install this sensor switch but I have only red n black wire how can I connectedness

Thanks for the detailed video! I was looking for a video of a box with multiple black cables, a red, and a white like on my box. I don't have a ground cable though. Old building with metal boxes. Can I ground it against the metal box? Thank you again.

@Slade Profka would you care to specifically say which code violations those are??

these days these wall switches arrive without neutral connection or in some cases they can be interchanged with the earth. Check out sensor switch in the US

I'm pretty sure that blue wire is sometimes live if it's for the 3-way function. It should be cut off and capped. The way you did it leaves bare live wire exposed in the box (see at 9:34). A wiring diagram would be helpful in this video just to see what wire goes where.

does this sensor have a blinking light?

Which black wire of the sensor switch is the line? Which one is the load? The switch has a black/line, red/load, yellow/traveler and a green/ground. (Hubbell WS2000)

i only have 3 wires coming out the wall.black,white and ground.how do i use them to install my switch?

Depends on the manufacturers directions. Shut off the power first. Typically black is hot and goes to brass screw, white is typically neutral and goes to silver screw, and bare copper is ground and goes to green screw. But again, follow the switch directions.

meatdogg101 if you have 3 wires black white and ground. your power is coming from the ligth so to make sure what im telling just turn the power off and put wire nuts or tape turn the power on test wich one is the power the oter is gonna be the switch light. normaly white os neutral ok

One black should be from the circuit breaker (separate the 2 blacks, turn power on and see which one is hot), the other black goes to another light switch feeding a different light fixture they just used the switch box as a junction box. The red wire goes to the light you are trying to control with the switch. It is common to use a red wire as a switch leg.

Good video I subscribed and favorited and likes

What hapen if no ground wire in the box?

I’m a little late, but you have to re-run a wire with a ground

What was the purpose of splicing the two wires together with another wire...then nut that wire to the switch...why not just nut the switch wire to the other two? would seem neater and less work to me

My switch my motion switch I’m talking about has one load and ground in my box or my switches I have two blacks to neutral wire noted together and ground three ground actually wire noted together for my line side I put the hot wire coming in I connected it to my line side my load side I put for my traveler to my light why is it not Working do I have a bad switch motion switch I mean

We don't even know if that works.

The bear wire is the ground and the green wire is the neutral wire because that type of switch need a neutral wire but you put all together I will work like that but is not the right way to do it.

You might be confused, but it is not confusing.

Terrible. Why would you give an example with that 3rd wire.

How many times do you walk into the laundry room and you can't turn the lights on because your hands are full of clothes? Ah....first world problems.

These switches are a waste of time. Just leave your regular switch, pop in an LED bulb and leave it on all the time. It will cost you 5 cents per month in electricity.
