Cheap Leviton IPP0R-1LW Manual-On Occupancy Sensor Remote, Infrared Wall Switch, White Review




This device is of excellent build quality. Vendor was quick to ship and fees were in line. Unit comes with excellent instructions as well. Thought I'd add a couple of cautions here.

BE SURE TO VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE NEUTRAL WIRE IN BOTH 3-WAY SWITCH LOCATIONS!!!

It is not standard practice to include a neutral wire at both switch locations in a 3 way circuit.

Standard practice is to wire light fixture with 14/2 that contains hot and neutral. The Hot gets passed through to the first 3-way switch via 14/2 and the white wire of this run is actually a hot return from the switches. 14/3 is then used between the two switches so often there is no neutral present in one or both switch boxes. This is done for cost savings for wire AND time when building the house.

This switch IPP0R is an add-on to the IPP15-1L switch to add 3-way control and have a sensor at both locations. Neither of these switches will work without a neutral. Be sure to verify! Happy Wiring.

This product has a much lower price than some of these switches because it fails to make it clear that it will NOT work with newer compact fluorescent bulbs (you will have horrible quirks if you try it). This can be worked around by adding an incandescent to the circuit this switch controls (if multiple bulbs). If you only have one light on the circuit (like a closet) you will have to just use an incandescent. That being said...

I noticed one reviewer mention if the power flashes off when it comes back on the lights will stay on and you will have to turn each switch on and off. I have not had this issue. When the power goes off and back on, the lights do come on but they go off at the interval you have them set at just as they would if motion had set them off.

I find the sensor on this switch is much better than others I've had experience with (certainly better than the GE). So long as you know upfront about the previously mentioned "catches", you can take advantage and get a good deal on a sensor switch.
