Product Description
Levitons IPP15-1L Decora Manual-ON Occupancy Sensor acts like a standard wall switch and complies with the California Title 24 Residential Lighting Standards for 2005. It has the added energy savings benefit that if you forget to turn the lights OFF, the lights will turn OFF automatically if motion is not detected within the coverage area. The Manual-ON Occupancy Sensor can be used in a variety of residential applications. Four optional manual adjustments for delayed-OFF time settings maximize energy savings: 30 seconds (for walking test), 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes. LED Indicator Light flashes when sensor detects motion to verify detection is active. Unit can be used for 120V lighting. Compatibile with both electronic and magnetic ballasts or 1/2 HP loads. Relay switches at zero crossing point of the AC power curve to ensure maximum contact life and compatibility with electronic ballasts. Fits in standard wallbox and replaces single-pole wall switch, 3-Way operation when used with IPP0R Series Remote Sensor or Vizia Switch Remote. Requires a neutral (white) wire connection. UL Listed and CSA Certified, complies with California Title 24 2005 Energy Code and FCC regulations. Five-Year Limited warranty.

 Great switch, allows for Title-24 compliance. August 23, 2009

Before I begin, let me say that if you're going to do any sort of wiring project it's up to you to learn about applicable codes and regulations, from reliable sources. Do the job right. Get the needed permits and inspections. Get an electrician, if you have to.
I live in Alameda County, California, where we have to be Title 24 compliant. According to the city permit desk, and as I understand it, Title 24 dictates that all lighting in bedrooms etc. needs to be energy efficient. It also indicates that for a lighting fixture to be considered "energy efficient" it cannot be possible to easily swap out the efficient bulbs (LED, CFL, etc.) with something less efficient (incandescent). The upshot is that currently most of the lighting fixtures you purchase at the major home improvement centers cannot be legally installed in your home. Why? Because it's possible to remove the CFLs that come with the fixture, and use incandescent bulbs.
Fortunately, there's a way. Title 24 also indicates that any lighting fixture can be used if it is either (1) on a dimmer, or (2) on a manual-on occupancy sensor.
My wife and I were selecting ceiling fan/light fixtures for installation in our home. When I found out about Title 24 from the city permit desk, I was worried because the ceiling fan/light combos my wife had purchased at the local home improvement store were not Title 24 compliant (nothing they sold was), and she really wanted *those* fans and lights.
This switch saved the project. I purchased several of them, and wired them to the fan's light kits. This made the whole thing compliant, and they passed inspection. Installation of the switch is easy--just make sure to read the directions. Be aware that the switch takes up more space (volume) in the box than a regular toggle-type switch, so if your box is crowded you may have to install a larger box. Also, as this is an occupancy sensor it needs to be able to "see" most of the room to work as intended. Again, this is a *manual-on* occupancy sensor switch. The only way to turn the light on is to push the button. It will turn off automatically if no movement is detected for a period of time (so don't sit too still!).
The switches are nice. They don't really stand out, and after a few days we forgot all about them. The button has an LED on it, which makes it easy to find the switch in the dark. They seem to be well-built, so unless you're really whacking the button, it should last a while.
One more thing to be aware of: even when the switch is "off" there is still voltage on the hot switched wire. It's probably very low current (I didn't touch it to find out!) as it's not enough to light the lights.
Just what I was looking for August 18, 2009

This device does exactly what I wanted, which is a manual or auto mode of operation. The only negative thing is that a common wire is required. Normally the common (white wire) goes directly to the load and not through the switch. I had to add the common wire and it was not that easy.

Worked fine, but I needed an electrician to get the wiring right. Good instructions, just not enough knowledge on my part. Set 2 in a gang switch for 5 150W ceiling floods. Good equipment.
Great Product March 15, 2009

Works great not my wife and kids are not leaving the lights on throughout the house.
The only shame is my kitchen has the light switches aimed the wrong way so it can be used there.
