Add enhanced automation to your Caseta dimmers, switches, and fan controls with your Caseta Motion Sensor. Program your Caseta indoor motion sensor light sensor as an occupancy or vacancy sensor to automatically control any number of Caseta devices when you enter or leave a room. One motion sensor can control many Caseta devices within up to 60 ft. and can detect motion three times better than other comparative sensors. The motion sensor features a full 180В° field of view, in addition to having a typical 10 year battery life, three times longer than the industry average. Use the motion sensor for occupancy or vacancy applications wherever it’s needed – no wires required. Place this motion switch for lights freestanding on a flat surface or mount to a wall or corner; this makes the motion sensor perfect for bathrooms, laundry rooms, hallways, garages, and more. Place in a high traffic area of your home for hands-free control of your lights; alternatively, place in a low traffic area of your home so you never have to remember if you turned the lights off. Set your desired light level on each device controlled by your sensor for further customization; when the sensor switches on, it will automatically turn your devices on to the preset level. It’s great for homeowners and smart home enthusiasts.
SENSING AND CONTROL: This smart motion sensor can automatically turn off any number of Caseta smart devices after you leave a room
ACTIVE HOURS FEATURE: Set the motion sensor switch to trigger lights based on time of day; use the Lutron app to customize when sensors are active, which lights the sensor controls, and light levels (Caseta Lutron Smart Hub, L-BDG2-WH, required)
VERSATILE AND POWERFUL: One Lutron motion sensor light switch can turn off any number of Caseta switches, dimmers, fan controls, and Serena smart shades within 60 ft.

Perfect for my purposes
Wow. I just don’t know what all these reviews are on about. Look, I get that if you expect something to work one way and it doesn’t, you’re going to be upset. And in that way the negative 1-3 star reviews here are valid. I’m here to tell you why I think this is a 5 star product.I’m a Homekit user. When I built my system up from the ashes of a prior ZWave setup, I made a big decision: anywhere I had a lamp, I’d use a Hue bulb. Anywhere I had a switch, I would use a Lutron Caseta switch. I don’t have any need/desire for color in my lights, so this worked perfectly for me. My primary goal was to automate every single light in my house and do it as cheaply as possible.It’s been 3 years now and there’s one thing I’m certain of: Caseta products are the best home automation products ever made. I have NOT ONCE had a problem with my Caseta products, and the Hue stuff gives me constant headaches.The only motion sensors I have in my house are in my laundry room and hall closet. They’re Hue sensors controlling Hue bulbs in the Hue app (Homekit is completely incapable of programming occupancy correctly – the biggest oversight in a platform full of problems). As I mentioned, I have frequent problems with all the Hue products, so I was THRILLED when Lutron announced their Caseta motion sensor. I think I literally jumped up and down, I was so excited. Imagine my disappointment when I checked out the reviews on Amazon and Reddit! Everyone hated it! I couldn’t believe it!But, as I mentioned, I consider Caseta products to be the best ever, so I took a chance on the sensor…and I’m glad I did.Look, I’m using this thing in a room where I actually don’t want to use a light switch. I’m using it in my garage workshop, and I’ve had it installed and operating for 2 weeks now. I can tell you that in my setup it has been nothing short of flawless.It takes less than a second for the lights to turn on when I enter the room. Less than if I’d used a switch. I have the sensor set to pick up minor movement and I have it set for a 5 minute timer. I have not ONCE had the lights turn out on me while I was in my garage. And that’s pretty important when I’m using a freaking table saw. Even when I’m on the opposite side of the room standing very still in front of my wall-mounted computer, the sensor is able to pick up enough motion to keep the lights on. The entire time I’ve been writing this review, I’ve been standing 15-18 feet from the sensor with my back turned to it, and my slight movements have been enough for it to catch.On the flip side, I know that the five minute time-out is working perfectly. See, we have a fridge and freezer in our garage, so we regularly come out here to get something. I’ve had plenty of times where I’ve come back to the garage anywhere from 7-15 minutes later and the lights were off like they should be.Again, I’m not doubting the people who don’t like this sensor. I’m assuming that if I walked into the room, the lights went on, then I walked out of the room and turned them off from a switch and then walked back in a minute later, the sensor wouldn’t turn the lights on. I can see that complaint and I think it’s reasonable. I just wanted to offer this counterpoint to argue that in my situation it’s far and away the best possible option.SUMMARY: If you have a place in your home or business that you only want controlled by motion and not switches, this is the sensor for you.

Works Fantastic
I don’t usually write reviews, but this product nailed a tricky setup. Our long basement storage area has 3-way switches at both ends—one inside and one outside the space. I wanted motion-activated lights, which can be tricky with 3-way wiring. The long space and two entries eliminates using switch mounted motion sensors.The Claro Smart Light Switch and sensor made it simple. Wiring instructions were crystal clear. I swapped the inside switch, added the jumper to the outside “dumb” switch, paired the sensor with a quick six-second press each, and it just worked—no app needed.I placed the sensor where it could see both doors, tested it, and it detected motion perfectly. Set the timeout for one minute, and the lights behave exactly as I wanted.If you need motion-activated lighting with a sensor away from the switch, this is it. Simple, effective, and reliable.Pros:Works with 3-way switchesSensor can be placed remotely from the switchAccurate motion detection at longer distancesEasy setup—no app requiredClear wiring instructionsCons:Limited if you want full smart-home automation with multiple Claro devicesIf you want the second switch to act like a normal switch you’ll need to replace it as well with the Claro Accessory Switch

Love this product line
Needed to add motion detector for the lights in my large 3 car garage as it was very dark are night and the door opener lights did not add enough light. This motion sensor along with the Caseta switches worked perfectly and they were easy to install. They are a bit expensive, but they solved the issue and I and especially my wife love them.

Undependable!
Working great! Best 24/hour customer service (US is exemplary)! You’ll probably need it because pairing and setting the time out for one minute is obscure (set with all LED setting in back). Once going, best ever.

Works great. Thought there might be some concerns. But has worked great from day one and two months later no issues

Can use the motion sensor to operate any Lutron modules or trigger a “scene”. This is the simplest most idiot proof smart home system available since x10 went defunct, IMO.

Lutron Caseta is good quality. Never buy open box or returned from amazon. They are always ruined by the previous customer and returned. You cant tell they are bad from a visual inspection, so amazon tries to resell them

I use this motion sensor to turn the smart lights on whenever someone enters the bedroom. While it works great 95% of the time, sometimes (5% of the time maybe) in the middle of the night, when the room is dark it doesn’t detect a person until they get VERY close to the sensor. I haven’t been able to figure out any pattern or reason why it does this, and it’s very rare, but it does happen. Other than that, this sensor works fantastic for its purpose.
