This is absolutely hands down the best video ever. You got to the point with no joking, cursing or trying to be cool so we could easily learn how to do this. I wish I could copy this and send to other videos that have so much crap on them and never really get to the point. Damn good job on this.
Thank goodness, somebody who can explain it simply and clearly! Thank you! I have one of these switches in the place I moved into a few years ago. There were no instructions, and whatever I found online had that time was ridiculously confusing so I put up with the settings as they are. The bulbs give off a lot of heat, and now that it's summer time it was driving me crazy that that light would stay on for half an hour if visitors didn't turn it off when they left the washroom. It got too warm in there, and I'm struggling to keep the place cool as it is. I have now set it to go off after 1 minute. This makes me very happy LOL it's the little things ☺️♥️
My apartment complex maintenance installed this in my bathroom and was driving me crazy with the setting it was on. This allowed me to adjust it the way I wanted so thank you so much!

Haha!! Prior to finding this video I ended up putting a telescoping pointer stick to reach the switch. You could do that, or wave your arms from the floor up above your head and sometimes that would do the trick. 😂 It's the first time I've lived in a place with a windowless bathroom, I can't recommend it. And seriously,1 minute, who invented that?! 😆 I'm so glad I discovered this video, I think it was a couple of years ago. I wanted to change the setting again today and glad I have this "saved". I could have sworn I wrote it all down the first time, but I couldn't find my notes so I will definitely do that when I've sent this comment.

Yes, I probably could have figured all of this out by reading the manual. But it's soooooo much easier to be shown. So glad you posted this. Thanks. Edit: Something about this light that I like... I put on vacancy mode because it's on a bathroom fan and don't always need it. But after I manually turn it on, it goes into motion mode to where it stays on as long as there's motion, and goes into timer mode when I leave the room. I think that's awesome.

Thanks for watching! I agree... that's an awesome setting for this kind of light switch.
I appreciate that. Great instruction. I was hoping, however, there was a setting to be able to turn it on and stay on when needed. I have this in my garage, and if I'm ever working on a project or under a car at night, it often shuts off me and then it's pitch black. Kind of a pain to get up and walk over to the light so it sees me again. I'll just make sure I'm on the 30-minute timer setting. Thanks again. It's nice to see someone explain things clearly.
Oh my gosh! You just made my day!! I am temporarily using our pocket room for my "office" and I was getting so annoyed because I had to keep waving my hand every minute to turn the light back on LOL 😄 I have been trying to figure out how to change the settings for the past month and this was just what I needed! And I love that you got straight to the point! Thanks so much!

I put mine in a few years ago and it worked fine until a couple of months ago. It was set for 5 minutes but I'd occasionally find it on for much longer. At the time I just thought it was 'planned obsolescence' and didn't investigate - the synonym for that is "lazy". Tonight it happened again and I found this video that refreshed my memory of how to set it - and it's working just fine. I'm thinking someone in the household was playing "button-button-press-on-the-button". Thanks

I've watched probably 10,000 KZread videos and this is one of the most extreme best. I'm installing this switch with no instruction-paper and this answers all questions. I'm amazed at the amount of computing in this switch. What's it going to be like 20 years from now...voice control? Thought control?

Dear Zeth, Thank you so much for the simple and straightforward video! I was able to reset the sensor to bypass the motion sensor, especially at the middle of the night when I go to the bathroom. It is because the sudden bright lights turned on really bother my eyes. Now you have helped me solve the problems. Salute to you, Seth! Melody
Great to see and hear how it's done. Not one way or the other. Thanks!
Thank you so much I re-read the instructions so many times and couldn't figure it out.
It is great when one can find a well done video that clarifies how to do something. Thank you for this excellent post
Thank you for a very professional and concise video. I searched the Lutron site and it was worthless in trying to find this information. Again thank you so much
Thank you for posting this! My apartment complex had two of these installed in the gym on a five minute delay. I was able to make it a 30 minute delay

Great explanation, everything made way more sense once I watched this. I was expecting to have to press the button x number of times after holding it down to get the setting but that's not how it works. Then I was thinking okay maybe you hold it and it blinks 1x, 2x, or 3x in succession upon each setting like one, one-two, or one-two-three...nope! Was very confused--instructions are non-descript and it doesn't seem that intuitive, but this video cleared it all up! Honestly Lutron should pay you for this video and then put it on their website and/or official YT channel. 👌

My light going on like 5 times a day x 5 minutes lately. Even there is nobody in the bathroom. I opened and follow your instruction to turn on and off myself. But still after 10 minutes turned on and tooks 5 minutes. I DO NOT UNDERSTOOD WHY AS A LADY IM LEARNING TO DO THINGS AT HOME BY MYSELF . MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY FOR COVID. Would you able to inform me since I do not have the instructions. I took a screen shoot but I confused with the bottom out and also the little kind of clip inside when I opened. Which one is the master or I should do both. Prefer to turn on and off myself . Appreciated it

Thank you very much for making this video. I bought a two pack and there are zero instructions but a QR code link which refers to LUTRON Maestro that is not friendly for consumers and the instructions you have I could not find them at all. How they could not include the instructions on a simple piece of paper is so upsetting.

I think you would just follow the steps and hold the side button until it blinks once
I was really hoping there was a way to adjust the amount of time before it starts motion sensing again after manually turning it off. It is fixed at 15s, which is often way too short for wanting to use the bathroom at night. Guess I’ll just have to turn motion sensing off all together.
Thanks
I hooked my switch to the wall as instructed now I Get the light to turn off what do I do
Thank you very much.
My switch does not react to pressing the tiny switch, light will NOT flash.I think it is stuck in vacancy mode because it will mot turn on when entering the room with out pressing the switch.

After trying this my sensor still not working
Is there a mode that you can use to OVER RIDE the Occupancy Sensor and manually turn the lights on and off to keep them on all the time or turn them off like a normal on and off switch? The reason why I want this mode is the one Occupancy Sensor switch I have in the Garage turns the light off when I am out of VIEW from the motion sensor on the other side of the Garage, always at the wrong time of course and I don’t want to have to put another Occupancy sensor in to fix that problem.

My problem also, did you ever get it figured out? When I go to my garage & I'm messing with the car the lights go out, if I could just flick a switch.
ugh. I still can’t get mine to work right! One day it just never turned off. So Ive tried this and when the light is off it turns on in one minute and never turns off. I want it to turn on when motion and off in one minute.
Just installed these today and for whatever reason I can't get the auto on auto off mode to activate. Only way for it to turn on automatically is in test mode. Any ideas what I did wrong there?
Thank you so much!!!👍
I bought a ms-ops6m2-dv It has a bare wire, two black wires, a green wire, a blue wire, and a loose yellow wire. It would be fantastic if someone could explain what those 6 wires are for!
Thank you!
Do these light sensors work for 'switches at the end of a line', or 'leg switches'? Mines don't work. It make me feel, well, bad.🧐

Anybody having issues with the sensor? Have it in low sensitivity and it keeps turning our randomly throughout the night in by bathroom. Wonder if it’s the mirror? Only started happening recent though over the past 1.5 years. Maybe time for a new sensor
I have the motion sensor tied into a light switch, when the light switch is turned ON, it also turns on the motion sensor light (without any motion present), is there a way to override this and only have it react to motion??
