The ODS10 is the perfect solution for controlling a wide variety of load types. It features a low-profile digital design and vandal-resistant PIR lens. It does not require a neutral connection, and it installs in place of a single-pole wall switch to fit in a standard wall box.
Automatic Lighting Control for Energy Savings
It's well-known that turning off the lights when leaving the 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 places where a variety of people are coming and going throughout the day.

Field of View |
It's well-known that turning off the lights when leaving the 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 places where a variety of people are coming and going throughout the day.
The ODS10-ID helps eliminate the problem of load type selection by providing automatic control of incandescent lamps, fluorescent, and low-voltage lighting with electronic or magnetic ballasts. It provides an adjustable 180-degree field of view with optional adjustments for sensitivity, ambient light override, and delayed off time. The unit also features a manual override switch that can be used to keep lights off while an area is occupied, which may be desired in conference rooms and other areas during slide or film presentations.
For increased energy savings, the ODS10-ID offers a light sensor which provides an ambient light override option that can be set between 2 and 500+ foot-candles at full brightness to prevent the sensor from switching lights on when there's sufficient sunlight, regardless of occupancy.
About PIR Technology
The ODS10-ID 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 chosen, the unit will switch the lights on.
Long Life and Automatic or Manual Operation
To ensure longer service life and compatibility with electronic ballasts, the ODS10-ID carefully times its switching-contact opening and closing with the zero crossing point of the AC power curve (Zero Crossing Technology). Additionally, a latching relay provides prevents product failure when used with high inrush loads.
For manual control, the ODS10-ID features a convenient push-button switch. If the lights are off, pressing the button will turn lights on and keep them on for as long as the room is occupied. This mode is ideal for areas where manual on switching is required but automatic off switching is desired for energy savings (CEC Title 24 Compliant). Lights can also be turned off manually at any time by pressing the push button.
For three-way and four-way control, the ODS10-ID features multi-location capability, where multiple sensors can work with one load. Multiple sensors are wired together with the load to turn the lights on. Both sensors must time out or both manual buttons must be pressed for the lights to turn off.
Compliancy and Warranty Information
UL-listed and CSA certified, the Leviton ODS10-ID Decora wall switch occupancy sensor complies with California Title 24 Energy Code and FCC regulations, and is backed by a five year limited warranty.

I installed one of these in my laundry room (which is located just inside the garage door in my house). Now, whenever we come home, we don't have the fumble for the light switch. I've also installed one in the room that my wife uses for her office for the same reasons.
This switch comes with three adjustments to customize it to your needs.
First, it has an ambient light adjustment so that you can tell it not to turn on if there is already sufficient light in the room. If you turn this setting all the way up, the switch will become a manual on, auto off switch that will only turn on when you push the button, but will turn off after it senses no motion for a set period of time.
Second, it has a sensitivity adjustment, which adjusts how far the sensor will look for motion.
Third, it has a duration adjustment to tell it how long it should wait with no motion before turning the light off.
It also has a red LED, which blinks whenever it detects motion, so you can tell how whether your movements are being detected or not.

If you are buying this for the ambient light feature: I'd be wary.
The ambient light sensor will not override the switch until the room is brightly lit -- in fact much more brightly lit than the light provided by the typical 17 watt CFL the switch is operating! The ambient light sensor in my five outdoor motion sensing lamps which turn on only when it is nearly dark work much better. Plus, those lamps cost about as much as this single switch and include actually functional electronics and a whole metal lamp housing.
Want more technical? More technical: The ambient light sensors in the units that I received need far more than the 2 foot candles indicated in the specs to override the motion switch. The spec both here and on the Leviton website indicates 2 foot candles or 2 lux of light as the lowest setting for override. First, there is a mistake here since 2 foot candles = 20 lux. The difference between 2 lux and 20 lux is the difference between enough light to barely see and enough light to read easily, so the spec matters. Second, whichever spec is supposed to be correct, these units often seem to need more like 40-50 lux or more to override the switch. When I tried to set the dial controlling the ambient light switch any lower (well before the off setting), the light would not come on in the dark.
I've tried three of these Leviton units from Amazon.
Unit 1: Ambient light sensor required a direct light source or sunlight on the unit for the ambient light sensor to override the switch at its lowest setting.
Unit 2: Slightly more sensitive light sensor, but the 30 second time setting did not work. The minimum on time was 10 minutes, which made diagnosis especially tricky. This unit also turned the light on randomly in the middle of the night without motion.
Unit 3: Would not turn the lights on unless the button was pressed, regardless of the ambient light setting.
Defeated, I spoke with Leviton customer support. The excellent representative indicated that none of these units appeared to be working properly. So, you can take your chances that you get a properly functioning ambient light sensor. He did say that air drafts in the room could trigger the unit in the middle of the night. Air drafts. I have an old motion sensor for incandescent bulbs and it has never turned on with airdrafts, even when the furnace was warming up a cold house.
It may be worth trying the made-in-USA version of this product, which does exist. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to find for sale. Amazon sells the made in China version. There are also made in Mexico versions. Each have the same ODS10 part number -- the ODS10-IAW is made in USA, the ODS10-IDW is made in China. I have no idea if the ones made in USA or Mexico work any better, but these ones gave me a worse headache than reading in the dark.
If you don't need ambient light sensing, there are cheaper units. If you do, I'd recommend to keep looking. On paper these are awesome, and I'm pretty bummed they don't work since keeping looking is not turning up much else.

Initially purchased a cheaper Leviton ($25) occupancy switch from a local hardware store to control a 4-tube flourescent fixture in our garage. Initially the switch worked great but it eventually failed to turn on 2 of the four tubes using the motion sensor. (all four tubes lit with the manual-on overide). After researching online, I came across this switch which works with both Magnetic and Electronically ballasted flourescent fixtures so I decided to spend the money.
Installation wasn't too challenging but did require the use of an a/c probe to determine which of the two black wires was the line "hot" and which was the load (light). Set up was also a breeze with the adjustment dials being easy to understand and dial-in.
This switch just went in and it's working perfectly with no flickering or problems so far. All four tubes of the overhead fixture fire up with any motion and the manual on/off is a great feature to have as you can simply turn the lights off or on and not worry as the motion sensor resets after the selected time out period with no motion.
The unit is also much more sensitive than the previous model, picking up the initial motion of the garage door opening so the lights are on by the time the garage door is fully open.
I would love to purchase more of these swiches for closets and other areas where lights are frequently left on.
