About

- About vacancy and occupancy switches [2]
- Kinetic switches allow you to switch a powered device without batteries or wiring on the switch itself.
- Motion sensors allow you to switch a powered device without batteries, wiring, and switches. Thus, a motion sensor functions as a switch, is allowed by code, and replaces switches including their wiring.
- Solar motion sensors allow you to switch a light with batteries, without wiring, without switching, and without a power connection.
