A: The default mode of this product will automatically turn the lights on when someone enters the room. When it stops detecting motion, it will start a timeout of 5 minutes and if it does not detect motion within that time, it will turn the lights off automatically.

A: This sensor will be able to control both a light and fan however if you are combining both the light and fan onto a single sensor, it will only handle a combined maximum load of 3A.

A: Max LED load is specified at 360 W. I wouldn't exceed 65 to 80% of that number.

A: Yes, this switch is rated for 720 W. It states that it is CFL and LED compatible. LEDS do not present a difficult load for solid state switches. Without seeing the schematic, I would always derate a switch further to be on the safe side. Typically 65 to 80% of the max rating.

Q:I have two bathrooms that share a common ducted exhaust fan (under 6 amps). The fan is controlled by two individual SPST switches, one in each bathroom. Can I replace both fan switches with these, or will that fry the electronics in the switches?

A: Unfortunately, you would only be able to put the sensor in one of the two bathroom locations. The other location would need to be either a companion switch or a standard mechanical switch. For this application it may be better to use a Lutron timer (model MA-T51), where you would be able to start the time from either location and set it to stay on for a certain amount of time. If you would like to discuss this application further in more detail, please feel free to give our 24/7 Support line a call at 800-523-9466.

A: yes using 2 one at each location

A: I don't see why you couldn't. I assume you have a 3 way switch set up, so you would need to rewire the two common legs to give a hot to the second switch, and tie the other wire to the output of the second switch (2 switched wires to the fan black lead). If the between-switch wires are NOT different colors, label them at both ends. This all presumes you have enough room in your switch boxes for the extra switch depth and wire/wire nuts.
