Works as advertised, but read the details closely
This works exactly as written which is to say not as I expected (my fault for preconceived notions). This switch will not sense when somebody comes in to the room and turn the lights on. Instead, you have to press the button to turn the lights [...]

In my case, it caused the outer plastic housing to melt down and possibly to have caught fire, just two weeks after installed. Fortunately, it was self-limiting, but the heat blistered [...]
