Deako

Simple Motion Sensor Switch

(127 Reviews)
$59.99

The Simple Motion Sensor Switch brings energy-saving efficiency and simple automation to any room in the house. It can automatically turn lights on when you enter a room–like when your arms are full of laundry–and automatically turn lights off when you leave with 30 second, 5-minute or 20-minute timeout options.

Upgrading? With Deako backplates you can change out any Deako switch for another without turning off the power or calling an electrician.

Ways to use

Do you hate discovering you left the closet light on? Get frustrated with your kids (or spouse!) because they never remember to turn off the light? Then this switch is for you. With all the functionality of a motion sensor plus the added ability to use it as a timer, this switch will complement any room in your home. You’ll be able to:

  • Pull your car into a lit garage
  • Enter any room without fumbling with lights, like the pantry when your arms are full of groceries
  • Leave the house with confidence knowing the kids' lights are off
  • Ditch the frustration of coming home to the bathroom fan still on
  • Move through a well-lit home without touching a light switch
  • Reduce energy consumption with simple automation

Product details

    • In Occupancy mode, the light will turn on automatically when you enter the room. The light will then turn off automatically after no motion is detected for a set amount of time (5 minutes or 20 minutes). 
    • In Vacancy mode, the light is turned on manually (by pressing the switch) but turns off automatically after no motion is detected for a set amount of time (5 minutes or 20 minutes).
    • The light can always be turned on or off manually by pressing the main button on the switch.
    • The switch has two automatic timer settings: 5 minutes and 20 minutes
    • Only for lights that are controlled by one switch (single-pole)
    • California Title 24 compliant

      1 out of 2 switches works. Difficult to insert
      Reply:
      Thank you for taking time to send us a review! If you try swapping the switches, does the issue follow the switch? Reason being, it could be related to the wiring in the location. The Simple Motion Sensor needs to have the neutral and the hot-in/loads can't be swapped. Additionally, they will only work in single pole locations. If you haven't already, feel free to reach out to Support so we can help out with getting the two of them to work!

      We bought two motion sensors year ago for our new house. The first one lasted 7 months. The 2nd one, in our laundry room, I had to replace after just over a year. Both of them started to flicker the lights like there is a bad connection.

      I purchased 4 simple motion switches in my new DR Horton home. I love not having to reach for a switch in the garage, laundry room, master closet, and kitchen pantry! It took me less than 2 minutes to install each of these.

      Simple Motion Sensor Switch
      We bought this for a couple of specific spots in our home. It doesn't work in one of the places we really wanted to use it and not sure why. We do have it in our pantry where it works really well. In the process of moving one to another location after it didn't seem to work, part of the motion sensor broke. That was disappointing. It's not quite as easy to get the faceplates off and sometimes the switches are difficult to move. Overall I like the product and hope we can eventually get this second one in a place where it makes sense.

      We are sometimes having to look for light switchs in the dark. Some rooms in our house don't have windows. These motion sensor switch(s) we have three of them, where the answer. I would buy more of them but, they don't seem to work in some locations.

      Thank you so much for taking time out to leave a review! The Simple Motion Sensor Switch needs to be in a single pole location (one switch controls the lights), and the wires need to be hooked up correctly with neutral attached and no swapped wires. If some aren't working in single pole locations, reach out to support@deako.com so we can see if it's wiring and assist!
