Lutron Maestro MS-OPS5M-WH Occupancy Sensor Light Switch — No Neutral, Auto On/Off

Smart, hands-free lighting for everyday spaces

The Lutron Maestro occupancy sensor switch MS-OPS5M-WH quietly powers lights on as you enter and off when you leave, reducing the need to touch switches when your hands are full. Designed for larger rooms, it’s ideal in garages, basements, laundry rooms, and living areas where convenience matters.

How it works

Using Advanced XCT sensing, the switch detects subtle motions, so lights stay on when you’re active at a desk or working on a project. It can sense motion up to 30 feet away and covers up to 900 square feet, adapting over time to your lighting preferences for a comfortable, personalized result.

Patented ambient daylight detection prevents turning on lights if there’s enough daylight, helping you maintain comfortable lighting without excess brightness.

Real-life benefits

• Hands-free entry and exit with automatic on and off
• Reduces the chance of lights staying on by mistake when you’re away
• Adaptive lighting behavior that can learn your preferred level over time
• Daylight-aware operation to avoid unnecessary lighting
• Flexible modes: Occupancy auto-on/auto-off and Vacancy manual-on/auto-off

In practical setups, install it in bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms, closets, or kitchens. It supports a wide range of bulb types—from incandescent to LED—and even handles ceiling or exhaust fans. Best of all, no neutral wire is required, which simplifies installation in many homes.
