I got this for my Mom for Christmas. Her garage does not have a light switch for the light inside the garage at the outside door. She has been keeping a flashlight at the entrance so when she comes in and it is dark, she can walk through to the inside door, where the light switch is.I paired this with the C by GE 3-Wire On/Off Toggle Style Smart Switch (no neutral required). The install was simple, download the C by GE on your smartphone, install the light switch (listed above) and configure the light switch (you will need bluetooth for the initial configuration of the light switch. Then go to where you want to have this sensor, ours is about 20 feet from the light switch and mount the magnet that holds the sensor in place to the wall. Again, using your bluetooth on your smartphone, you will pair this and configure the sensor (in order to make any changes to the sensor, you will need your bluettooth and the application). You can set how long the light will remain on, how sensitive the motion sensor is, and what kind of light condition you want it to trigger the light.All in all, works great and Mom is happy that she does not need the flashlight anymore.

I bought this item to turn on the lights in my basement. I often head down the steps with a full load of laundry in my hands so motion detection is ideal. and I have to say it has worked flawlessly. It took a little fiddling to align the sensor so that my feet on the steps turn on the lights before I'm more than 3 steps down, and I had to set the time before the lights would turn back off a little longer in the app so the lights stay on long enough, but now its perfect. The light sensor keeps the lights off during the day. Great product. I can also turn them off and on with voice command via Google Home if desired

I bought this sensor and a Cync smart bulb for my entry way light.After trudging through the remarkably unintuitive app (I have lots of smart devices and have used many of these types of apps, so I generally know what I am doing). I had both devices installed. Both were seen by the app and working.BUT.... the motion sensor would not show any indication that it was detecting motion and it most certainly wouldn't turn on the smart bulb....After resetting and re-pairing both devices several times and even going so far as to buy another sensor (assumed the 1st one was faulty). I realized that something was up...I spent over an hour on the phone with their tech support. Then another 30 minutes with their 'senior technician' They could not figure it out...Incidentally, I did discover during this call, the motion sensor has no led to indicate that it is on. Nor to show that it is detecting motion.. (something that pretty much every motion sensor I have ever seen, has).The tech support guy sent me an email to let me know that he was passing along the issue to the technology team... (along with all of the logs from my app.)I heard nothing for almost 3 weeks. Then I got an email: "We have identified the issue you are experiencing as a currently known issue. Our technology team is working toward a resolution that will restore the intended function."WOW!! So they sell me a product (twice) that they know doesn't work and then waste hours of my time on it. Then wait 3 weeks to tell me that it doesn't work... If the tech person had told me this at the beginning of the 90 mins I was on the phone, at least I wouldn't have wasted that part of my life....Suffice it to say - I have no interest in using any of GE's 'smart' products....

My family refuses to shut off lights so I went passive aggressive on them and installed this motion sensor in the garage. I paired it with a string of Barrina shop lights (ASIN: B0BNWQ4R72) connected in series to a GE Indoor smart plug (ASIN: B0CP4CNJY4). It has a cell app that you can use to program the sensor and the plug and pairing was super simple. Took less than 30 seconds and it was up and running!Now, evertime my cat or the fam goes into the garage, it turns off 5 minutes after they leave. If I'm working in the garage, the sensor sees my motion and keeps the lights on. This was a great way to feel better about my energy consumption (although the LED shop lights sip energy now).The only improvement that GE could make on this is to add another sensor on the other side for 360 degree motion sensing and to put the magnet on the base of the sensor, not the screw base that goes into a wall or ceiling.

I tried a couple of other brands and found this one in clearance at a department store in town and really loved it. Bought all they had and search everywhere for more. Had to turn to Amazon and they had it. So I got what I was missing to complete our house.I recommend this brand if you are wanting ease and hassle free use.

The product works great. But, and a big BUT that I wish I had known before I purchased the new line of products and everything c by GE. The new wire free products cannot connect to your c-reach at this time thus you must take any bulb you choose to use with any of the wire free devices out of your c-reach setup in the app (thus from HomeKit, as that is only c by GE product that connects to HomeKit) and into their own “Location†within the c by GE app. Big pain, especially when you had and were going for a complete HomeKit setup for C by GE products exclusively. Cherry on top, since the announcement of Savant buying GE lighting I have gotten just about no feedback on the new wire free devices nor my issues with recent firmware update failures. I’m sure they will work it out eventually but till then I’m stuck with a mashed up “smart homeâ€.

PDF falsely states: "Voice AssistantCompatibility Works with Google Home and Amazon Alexa"Support confirms they will not show up in the Alexa app.

So far this motion sensor works perfectly. It triggers consistently so my theater reacts to people entering the room. The set up was a bit of a pain but got it working with the plug.
