Hello,
Has anyone wired a Vancancy (or Occupancy) Sensor as 3-Way switches?
I purchased a Watt Stopper Model CW-100 Occupancy sensor for a bathroom that is on a 3-way switch. The brochure says that they are not made for 3-way switching but I think it can be done.
Thanks

The sensor has one black for the line input, a red for load output, a white for neutral, and a ground. How do you plan to use it as a 3 way switch? A 3 way needs two load wires.

Only way you can use it as a 3 way is to use two sensors as single pole switches.

I was unable to find a 3 way sensor made by Watt Stopper.

I found this diagram on the watt stopper internet site. What do you think?

Thanks again

Yes that is what I was referring to , using two single pole devices in place of the 3 ways. This will work virtually the same as 3 way switches, since each sensor will turn on the lighting independently.
