CPC PIR lightswitch

[Grimly Curmudgeon]

Just spotted this and thought some might be interested. I can think of a couple of places they'd be handy.

it needs a neutral, might be ok with very small loads like CFLs. etc? With a simple relay inside?

Of course that limits its usefulness as an easy replacement for a switch.

anything about adjusting the time period that the switch remains actuated after movement is detected. Does this mean it is an occupancy detector rather than some PIR activated time switch?

The instructions

say:

Time lag: 1 to 16 minutes (adjustable) Coverage: 120° cone angle, within 5m distance

Does that answer your question?

[Fred]

Yes, thanks.

Is there a difference between a PIR and an occupancy detector or are they two names for the same thing?
