    Levitron motion sensor light switch pr 180 won't go on
    The light sensor turns the light on the first time you walk by and turns the light off as set (about one minute). But then won't turn the light back on again unless I turn it to off and then back to auto.

    This is a three pole sensor. The switch at the bottom of the stairs is a standard on/off and the Levitron Sensor is at the top of the stairs. I wired black to black, red to red, and the yellow wire from the sensor to the white wire out of the wall. The ground is against the box, but not screwed in (couldn't get to it).

    Any thoughts. I can be contacted at e-mail [email protected]

    Thank you.
