ffrowley Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Cheers, yeah I've got a few things to go at now. The sensors don't have a sensitivity feature so that's out the window, but yeah I'll try a few of these things, n any more suggestions. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mask your sensor(s) over with electrical tape, open door external *IF* there's a weird interconnection between the systems your lights will come on. Exactly, isolate things to narrow the problem down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHappy Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 from screwfix- Quote Electrician Reviewer Would you recommend this product? Yes Overall Rating Value Features Performance Reliability Quality but difficult to setup 14 Jun 2017 By daveje Swanley " I installed this in an understairs toilet. The unit fitted into a 63mm hole and is a 3 wire installation ( L N SwL ) It is suitable for switching LEDs as it has a built in relay.I had major problems setting the sensitivity because this is a Microwave sensor which can 'see' through materials and it was switching when people walked across the landing! but when the 'sens' was reduced enough, to stop this, detection in the WC was less reliable. The unit can only be adjusted when de mounted which is a bit of a pain but stops 'fiddlers' and looks better. I plan on returning this for replacement in case this is a rogue unit when Screwfix have them back in stock. " Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Possibly right with microwave then, should have some sort of adjustment I would expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffrowley Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Lux n time adjustment. No sensitivity on this. 40mm hole for the sensor. Looks neat, n I have installed this type many times before no problems in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We have a microwave sensor in the shower upstairs. With no sense of irony it comes on whenever we use the actual microwave in the room below...
