Lutron Maestro® Occupancy/Vacancy Sensing Switch Review

The Lutron Maestro® Occupancy/Vacancy Sensing Switch is very helpful! We just moved to an older home and for whatever crazy reason we don’t have a light switch when you walk into our back door. So when I learned that the Lutron Maestro Occupancy/Vacancy Sensing Switch can automatically turn the light on when I entered the room and then turn off when I left, I installed it as soon as possible!

The Lutron Maestro Occupancy/Vacancy Sensing Switch has saved us many trips and falls! There are two modes for this light switch as well, occupancy mode and vacancy mode. With occupancy mode the lights automatically turn on when entering a room, and they stay on while someone is present, and turns them off after they leave. Then with vacancy mode you can manually turn the lights on when entering a room and the sensor automatically turns lights after someone leaves. It is convenient and saves energy by adding it to any room. Now we can walk in the door and the light turns on right away! No more stumbling over kid toys or tripping over shoes! Now we can see the light!

The best rooms for the Lutron Maestro are laundry rooms, garages, bathrooms and children’s rooms. We also just put one in our walk in closet as well! Made a world of a difference! The next best thing about the Lutron Maestro is it is affordable! For about $30 you can not only see as soon as you walk in the door but it saves energy too! The Lutron Maestro switch comes several different colors and it comes either glossy or satin finishes! Works with dimmable CFL and LED bulbs, as well as incandescent and halogen bulbs. It will fit any room you want and it is easy to install. Installation is a snap and you can do it yourself, simply flip your breaker and replace your existing switch. My husband installed the new Lutron switch within 10 minutes! I love my husband but he is not an electrician. So, if he can do this anyone can. Try the Lutron Maestro Occupancy/Vacancy Sensing Switch in your home! We are so glad that we did!
