Description
This dual purpose vacancy and occupancy wall switch sensor provides management of lighting and a choice of either Manual-On (Vacancy Sensor) or Automatic-On (Occupancy Sensor) switching. It is not connected to the network and and therefore cannot be used as a sensor for the home automation platform. It is used in one closet and and the laundry room in my home.
