If installing 3-way consider this - This item works well as advertised, and the single-pole application is easy enough to install. I m giving it less than five stars only for the lack of clarity in some of the instructions.If you re installing it as a three-way, the instructions strongly imply that you need another Leviton product, specifically from the Vizia line, to work with it.

Pricy, but unique enough to warrant it - I purchased these for a bathroom & hallway in which my tween boys constantly leave the lights on. I like the fact that it cannot be left on indefinitely without occasional motion and it has to be turned on each time. It also acts as a timer in the bathroom -- I told my son who likes long showers, when the lights go out, his shower time is up. Very nice. For the hallway, which has 2 switches in 3-way, I had to buy another Leviton switch (the VZ0SR) to get it to work, but that wasn t a big deal. These are perfect if you want manual control each time vs. auto on, which these do not do. Leviton & Cooper both make cheaper versions for automatic-on functionality. Of course, their cheaper versions do not let you use CFLs, which have electronic ballasts, so you get what you pay for. I am running mostly CFLs with these two and they work perfectly. That is definitely a plus that pays you back for the extra $$ you will pay for these.

How this thing is suppose to work - This is an excellent energy saving device. I just installed one in our common rest room in the main floor. It functions like a normal switch with manual on/off but it shuts off when there is no motion detected by the sensor for a certain time frame base on your preference.One reviewer wrote that he is disappointed that it doesn t turn on by itself whenever motion is detected. This is not that kind of switch. Who would want a switch that turns on each time it detected a motion even on broad daylight. If you are looking for a motion activated switch for certain application such as your always-dark basement then this is not for you. But if you are looking for a switch that turns off the light whenever somebody forgets to do so, then this is perfect! Five star for the great idea.

note the MANUAL ON in the description - Does what it is supposed to do. Works with CFL s and that is a plus. However I really wanted a product that would turn the lights on with motion. This does not do that. You must turn the lights on by pressing the switch. The lights will stay on as long as it detects motion. If it does not detect motion it will turn the lights off. You can specify how long to leave the lights on after it stops sensing motion.
