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!
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.
Thank you so much!! my landlord installed these and left them at 1 minute.. let me tell you when you're in the shitter and got to stand up every minute for the damn light to turn on it gets on your nerves pretty fast!! straight to the point with no fluff! good stuff man! =)
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.
@@lindasue8719 lmao! 😂 yeah it must've been a sad sap of people! im now realizing it was 1 dude that had the idea, made the pitch to a group of ppl to have it at 1 minute and they sat and agreed.. like what?? 😂
Thank you so much!!! I have a closet with this switch, and lately, it's been keeping itself on, and my newborn has been waking up through the night because it's not completely dark. It's also waking me up when you can hear it click on and then the whole door is glowing.
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!
Thank you SO much. These darn printed instructions confused this old dude but one search and your video popped up first. Your demonstration was perfect as was your voice. Which matters too right... Thanks again!! Lutron should just pay you and put your link in #7 instead lol...
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.
Thank you for this video, I just hooked up this outlet switch today at someone’s house. Client was very happy but I couldn’t take all the credit without this video! Have a blessed day
thank u so much the timer on mine got changed somehow and i didnt know how to fix it and the light was turning off every 30seconds in the shower 😭😭😭 youve saved my life
Thank you! My office light turns off all the time if I am typing a lot and not moving too much. Drives me crazy and I am only two months in. SO glad for this video. My coworkers think I am crazy for yelling at might light to "TURN ON" all the time!
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
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
I've watched probably 10,000 UA-cam 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?
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
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. 👌
Thank you so much it was driving me crazy having to wave my arms every minute. We have a really old model without the secondary button like the manual shows, it's good to know this works on a few versions.
Thank you so much for posting this video, I had long thrown away the directions and of course I'm a man and reading directions would require me to throw away my man card so you're a verbal and visual on this video helped me immensely 💯👍🏻✌🏻👌🏻👊🏻💪🏻
Thanks for this video! I've been using this office at work for the past couple of days and the stupid lights keep going off, I've been waving my arms every 15 seconds 🤣 I just set it to 15 mins and life is good.
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
I had this similar problem where it would always just turn back on!? So I reset the circuit breaker at the outside box that it was attached to, waited 20 seconds...back on and it started working fine again!? Good luck.
Excellent commentary however we just had the switch installed by my electrician and my husband took a shower and the light shut off- any way to keep it on??
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.
Wow, love to have discovered you doing DIY advice! Really enjoy your REI tipster work as well. My problem is that my switch is in a clothes closet with bifold louver doors… and every time I walk by, the light comes on. Just seems too sensitive, wish it only worked when I opened the door. Any thoughts?
I've got a few of those in my house as well. You could try something like this: ua-cam.com/video/opbR2aE9Zcw/v-deo.htmlsi=Zy0plguv_uUgPcpy - it might work, depending on where you place it. Not the cheapest option, though.
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.
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.
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.

Thanks for watching, Todd!
The lights switch at the apartment that I rented always turns off in the middle of a shower. This saves my day. Thanks!
Yes! Glad I could help!
Great vid. I just installed & set in my garage. It’s awesome. No more coming into the darkness.
Great video, I always come back to this video when I need to change a Mode rather than using the manual that came with the device.
Haha, that's great to hear! I'm glad you keep coming back. :)
Great to see and hear how it's done. Not one way or the other. Thanks!
Great job, well explained. Better than others tutorials
Thanks, Carlos! I'm glad it helped!
Thank you so much. We just moved into a house with this switch and not a manual in sight!
So glad I could help!
Finally got it working down to 1 minute. TY for the instructions.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video! I've been using this office at work for the past couple of days and the stupid lights keep going off, I've been waving my arms every 15 seconds 🤣
I just set it to 15 mins and life is good.
Hahaha. Been there, done that! I'm glad it helped.
Very thorough, thanks!
Great Job ! Your thorough instructions are easy to follow. Thank you for a great video !!
Thanks for watching!
Thank very much. Waooo , I really appreciate your teaching. I found what I was looking for, thank you again 😊🥳🥳🥳
Thank you so much for the simple and straightforward, i did it ...
Great UA-cam stuff thanks
That was an amazing explanation right to the point. Thank you so much
So glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

God bless you thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you, informative and to the point. Appreciate it!
Thanks for watching, Chad!
Awesome explanation. Thank you! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Could it be due to defective hardware when the motion sensor sometimes doesn’t detect motion after it went off?
I had this similar problem where it would always just turn back on!? So I reset the circuit breaker at the outside box that it was attached to, waited 20 seconds...back on and it started working fine again!? Good luck.
Do you know if there is a setting to disable the manual on off switch( strictly motion)
I think you would just follow the steps and hold the side button until it blinks once
Thank you buddy you just saved me from replacing a light switch lmao appreciate you!!
Alright! Thanks for letting me know!
Super helpful, thank you!
LOL, thank you. I read the instruction booklet that came with the lights and was like, "Huh?"
Yeah, me too! That's why I made the video. :)
Thank you, sir 👍🏻
You bet!
Simple and informative. Subscribing.
Thank you!
For some reason mine doesn't work. The changes don't change the settings and it stays at the default.
Awesome and right to the point
Thank you!
Thank you 👍🏾
Great video--thanks a million--Jester

Liked learning about the neutral wire. Also, how to program settings.
What is difference between high and low sensor mode

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.
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 for the video. I cannot seem to get the sensitivity set to low. Do you need to turn the switch on first to set any of the modes?
Thanks bro
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.🧐
Thanks for this! If I’ve set sensitivity and have a power outage, do you know if it needs to be programmed again?
I hooked my switch to the wall as instructed now I Get the light to turn off what do I do
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.
Mine too, not sure what’s going on with that
