LutronMaestro Motion Sensor Switch | 2 Amp, Single Pole | MS-OPS2-SW | Snow

I don’t usually rave about light switches, but this Lutron Maestro Motion Sensor Switch (MS-OPS2-SW) is one of the best $23 purchases I’ve made. If you’ve ever walked into a dark closet with your hands full and fumbled for a switch, this is the upgrade you didn’t know you needed.Where I Installed It & How It Performs✅ First-Floor Walk-In Closet – ON/OFF version• As soon as I enter, the light pops on instantly.• It makes a little click! sound when activating - not a dealbreaker, just noticeable.• Works off heat/motion, so it’s not ultra-sensitive, but it gets the job done.✅ Master Walk-In Closet – Dimmer version• This version feels much more premium - less plastic, heavier, and no clicking noise.• Instead of snapping on, the light fades in and out gradually, which is a nice touch.• Blends well with the Lutron dimmers I already have throughout my house.One Small Flaw – The Missing “Always-On” FeatureFor everyday use, this switch is perfect. But there’s one small oversight that might matter in certain scenarios.You can manually turn it on and off, but you can’t force it to stay on indefinitely.🔸 Example: I was considering putting this in my utility room. Most of the time, I’m just grabbing something and leaving, so an auto-off feature would be perfect.🔹 The problem: What if a technician is working on my furnace or water heater for an hour? Every 20-30 minutes, they’d have to wave at the sensor or walk by the switch to keep the light on. Annoying.It would be awesome if holding the switch for 5 seconds could override the motion sensor and keep the light on. If I ever sell my house and want to turn on all the lights for a showing, I’d have to manually reset them every time.Final Thoughts – Should You Buy It?✅ For closets, bathrooms, and utility spaces? Absolutely.✅ For $23, this is a steal.✅ Reliable, responsive, and easy to install.❌ If you need an “always-on” override, this might not be ideal for certain rooms.I already have Radio RA 2 throughout most of my house, and I wasn’t about to drop $300-$500 just for a couple of extra spots like a bathroom closet or utility room. This Lutron Maestro Motion Sensor Switch is a phenomenal solution for a fraction of the price.If you’re debating, just buy it. You won’t regret it.

This is works exactly as it should. As soon as I walk in the bathroom it turns on. If I ever forget to turn off the lights then it turns off after a fixed period. I will buy more of these for my other rooms

Lutron Maestro Motion Sensor Light Switch works great and is easy to install with basic tools. No need to fumble for the light switch when you hands are full. The hardest part was remembering not to touch the switch as it would turn on just before I touched it and of course that would turn it off. LOL!

I wanted a motion sensing, auto on/off daylight sensing switch and replaced a poor performing Leviton with this Lutron model.After engaging with Lutron's (very good) technical support, I still was unable to get the on/off daylight sensing technology to work. But the motion sensing works very well, it's just that the lights come on with motion all day long when my desire was for that to only for night time.Oh, well...it does work well at night.

works well. easy to set up

Game changer. I had a wind up light switch in my garage so I could go out into it at night and it would turn off by itself. It was OK but when I came home at night I had to walk to the door in the dark. Now I set the light for several minutes and can walk out to the fridge or drive in to the garage and there is light! How satisfying.....

Thrilled to find a motion sensor that didn't require a neutral. It works perfectly. Total game changer for my mudroom.

I try to think of places where I want this to go. If you don't have one you will get hooked. So it starts for me in our laundry room, all you do is walk in and the light in the ceiling comes on as long as there is movement. Once it's in your wall (there are only 3 wires) you press the big button and look for the light to blink. one blink is test mode, two blinks is motion activated for 5 minutes (that may not be the code of two blinks but you get the point and you'll have a legend to show you. It will tell if there is enough light in the room if you tell it to. I am so used this that I never reach for a light switch (which can be awkward when I'm halfway into a dark room).I have one like I said in the Laundry room, I have one tied to a light in my shower that lights the toilet just enough for any midnight rendezvous I might need with the porcelain prince. I just had one installed in the hall way so that it is well lit when anyone is by the stairs.It's not practical for certain situations like high activity areas where you don't need it to turn anything off. Speaking of turn offs, if you don't need it to stay lit for the entire programmed time, you can just press the big button; it will work as programmed the next timeLOVE IT!
