Automatic Lighting Control for Energy Savings
It’s well-known that turning off the lights when leaving a room is one of the simplest ways to cut down on energy usage. Yet it’s not always convenient or easy to remember, especially in rarely used storage spaces or rooms in which a variety of people are coming and going throughout the day.
The Leviton ODC0S-I1W Ceiling-Mount Self-Contained Occupancy Sensor helps eliminate this problem by providing automatic motion detection for lighting control. It has an adjustable 360-degree field of view and offers approximately 530 square feet of coverage when mounted at eight feet, reducing the number of sensors required in many spaces. It also offers an adjustable, delayed OFF time setting between 20 seconds and 15 minutes for maximum savings.
About PIR Technology
The ODC0S-I1W uses Passive Infrared (PIR) detection technology via a segmented Fresnel lens to monitor a room for occupancy. This specialized lens divides the field of view into sensor zones. When a person passes into or out of a sensor zone, the sensor detects motion and switches the lights ON. The lights will remain ON as long as there is an occupant in the room. When the space being monitored by the sensor is unoccupied for the preset time you’ve entered, the unit will switch the lights OFF.
Manual Override and LED Indicator for Easy Operation
For added convenience, the ODC0S-I1W offers an ambient-light override option that can be set between 0.5 and 500+ foot-candles at full brightness to prevent the sensor from switching lights ON when there’s sufficient sunlight, regardless of occupancy. A standard A/C toggle may also be used to switch lights OFF during presentations. And to ensure continual operation, an LED indicator flashes when the sensor detects motion to verify power placement and proper functioning of the unit.
Compliancy and Warranty Information
UL Listed and CSA certified, the ODC0S-I1W complies with the California Title 24 Energy Code and FCC regulations. It is backed by a five-year limited warranty.

Compact, quality build, easy install – mostly,
At first I wanted to install this in my laundry room – it’s in the basement and we always seem to leave the lights on. BUT it’s a long, narrow room – and also has the main AC ductwork. Unfortunately the ducts, combined with the lights being too close to the sensor precluded this. The instructions require 3′ from any fluorescent ballast, 4′ from incandescent fixtures, and 4′ from HVAC diffusers – so the laundry room was out. The rest of the basement has some pretty low ceilings (7 ft,) so it was off to the garage. It’s installed close to the spot where the stairs meet the garage – one set down, one going up. There was also a convenient open box where I could install the sensor.
It resembles a smoke-detector, and is about the same size. The cover twists off to reveal the sensors and two dials (adjusted with a standard screwdriver – time and light.)
Now when I enter the garage, on go the lights – no more worrying about turning them off. Since my workshop is off the garage, I’m passing through the garage several times per day – and I often forget to turn off the lights (or I’m just too lazy.) Since it’s a 2 1/2 car garage, there are several fixtures.
I considered putting the sensor in the workshop, but it’s a really dusty environment (woodworking) – it may have worked, but did not want to try it.
So why 4 stars? Well, the instructions are minimal – I could not find any additional instructions online. Little mention of suitable environments (dust, for example) – this made installation trickier than needed.
Also one suggestion – before you install it, remove the cover and check the sensor in the middle – looks like a micro-chip. When I first opened it, there were a couple of largish plastic pieces static-clinging to it. This covered about 30{fa0f407a56ebf26e8755ec9e145523374db89e13015bb27dc750b111d8cc035c} of the sensor. I’m sure this would have effected the gadget “seeing” me in the room.
As for mounting / installing? Four wire-nuts and two screws was all it took. So why did I look for instructions. Simple questions I had (perhaps overthinking?) – Could I use this and still have a light switch? What about with a 3-way light switch? That kind of thing.

|Works Great,
This is just what I was looking for. I installed it on my front porch. I was tired of coming home at night and trying to find the lock. Now when I get within 15′ of my front door “poof” the lights come on, but only at night. I chose this unit because it is all self contained, no external relays or power packs like some senors, also it is has the least range of any others so it is not tripped by cars driving by or people walking down the sidewalk. Now when I install my surveillance at my front door I won’t have to worry about how good the night recognition is.
The installation is basic, but I’ve been a Union Electrician for 12 years. Don’t expect the instructions to be extremely detailed, it’s a commercial device, but if you know how to wire a switch, you’ll be ok.

|Easy to install if you are comfortable with wiring,
I had an issue with my laundry room. The switch is on the wall outside the door, so family members who shall remain nameless (ok, it’s my wife) kept leaving the laundry room without shutting off the lights. I changed a lot of lights in our house to more energy efficient bulbs and added a number of timers on the other lights. Save the planet, right? Plus who wants to give more money to the power company if we don’t have to. Its not that hard is it? Just turn the light off when you are done. Seems simple to me.
A motion activated light sensor was just what I needed for this room. Forget to turn off the light, and it now goes off automatically saving me money and aggravation. I can’t even tell you how many times I have walked down to the basement in the morning when everyone else is still asleep and found the laundry room light on. You know it was on all night, just wasting electricity.
This Leviton sensor was a pretty easy install. I only had to connect 4 wires. Accessing the wires was pretty easy because it is an unfinished ceiling so everything is exposed. I can see this being more difficult in a finished room.
It works great and not only does it save electricity, but there is less yelling at my house now.
