About This Product

Let Lutron's Maestro Occupancy Sensor switch turn the lights or fan on and off for you. It's a simple, easy, and low-cost way to save energy and add automation to your home. Install a Maestro Sensor and lights/fan turn on when you enter the room, and then turn off automatically after you leave. It features XCT sensing technology to detect fine motion, such as typing at a desk or reading a book, to ensure lights won't turn off inadvertently when you're still in the room. It also learns your preferred natural light level and keeps lights off with smart ambient light detection. Program your lights to turn off 1, 5, 15, or 30 minutes after you leave the room. Alternatively, you can set the motion sensor to vacancy-only mode to only turn off the lights when you leave a room, to meet Title 24 requirements. Equipped with ambient light detection, you can customize your sensor to detect daylight so lights don't turn on with enough natural light in your room. Keeping the sleek design of the Maestro family, Lutron sensors will match the decor of any room in your home. Install a sensor in your bedroom so lights aren't left on mistakenly or in the bathroom for your exhaust fan. This Maestro Sensor works with any bulb type, including LED bulbs, or fans up to 3 amps. This switch can also be easily programmed to function as a vacancy (manual-on) sensor. Coordinating Claro Wall plates and Accessories sold separately.

Questions & Answers

I have two switches in my laundry room that operate one light. The switches have a red wire, plus two black, one ground. What do I wire the red wire to when I replace the one switch with the Motion Sensor switch?
ByMay 19, 2025

Answer This Question

Hello Mpb1, thank you for your inquiry! When replacing one of the two 3-way switches in your laundry room with a Lutron Maestro MS-OPS5M motion sensor switch, the red wire plays a specific role in the 3-way circuit. Here's how to handle it: Wiring the MS-OPS5M in a 3-Way Setup Identify the Traveler Wires: In a typical 3-way switch setup, the two black wires and the red wire are usually: One black wire: Common (hot or load) Red and the other black: Travelers between the two switches Determine Which Switch to Replace: The MS-OPS5M can only replace one of the two 3-way switches. The other must be replaced with a Lutron companion switch (MA-AS) or left as a standard 3-way switch, depending on your wiring and model. Wiring the Red Wire: If you're replacing the switch that has the red traveler wire, you will typically connect the red wire to the blue wire on the MS-OPS5M. The black traveler goes on the black wire on MS-OPS5M; either black wire works. The common wire (usually black) goes to the remaining black wire on the MS-OPS5M. Ground goes to the silver bare wire on the switch. Neutral (white) is required for the MS-OPS5M to function. If your box has a neutral, connect it to the white wire on the switch. By removing the green sleeve, exposing the white wire on the MS-OPS5M. Important Notes: The MS-OPS5M requires a neutral wire to operate. If your setup does not include a neutral wire, you may need a different model or additional wiring. Always turn off the power at the breaker before working with electrical wiring.

          Can this switch be used to control a shared (central) exhaust fan from one bathroom, while using a traditional (non-motion activated) switch in the other two bathrooms that share the exhaust fan? If so, can you provide the matching product part #?

          Answer This Question

          Hello, The MS-OPS5M occupancy sensor is only capable of a 4 way installation when paired with Maestro Accessory switches (model# MA-AS). It cannot work in a 4 way with standard mechanical switches. For helpful guides on how this will be installed, please visit the support site for our MS-OPS5M linked below: https://support.lutron.com/us/en/instructions/maestro-ms-ops5m If you still have questions or concerns, please call us at 1-844-LUTRON1.

                    This switch works great
                    This Lutron occupancy sensor is great it works just as it’s suppose to and it’s also pretty easy to install. I like that you can program it to different settings. It matches very well with the Lutron screwless wall plate that I have.

                      Works just the way it's supposed to
                      I needed this motion sensor switch for a long hallway from the garage to the kitchen. The light switch is not within reach when coming in the door from the driveway, and at night that is an issue since that spot is very dark. I installed this switch at the end of the hallway next to the garage entry and it has solved that problem – the light comes on automatically and I have it set to turn off after 1 minute of no motion. The programming steps are easy and you can set it to turn off 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or 30 minutes after it stops sensing motion. You can set the sensitivity at low or high, although I have not noticed much difference between the two. It is sensitive enough that even my cat will trigger the light once she’s half-way down the hallway; for humans and large dogs it triggers as soon as I enter the hallway from the kitchen, which is 26 feet direct sight from the sensor switch. You can also adjust for daylight sensing, although the end of my hallway is always fairly dim so that setting is not much different in my particular situation (set all preferences BEFORE installing the cover plate.) I felt the directions were easy to understand and I also found several helpful videos online, but once I pulled out my existing switch I found that my wiring setup was a bit different than what the instructions or videos showed – I had a third black wire and no ground wire connected to the existing 3-way switch. I used a contactless voltage detector pen to determine which black wires were hot. I called the Lutron 24/7 tech line and they walked me through the correct wiring configuration for my situation and stayed on the phone until I completed it and confirmed that the switch was working properly. That was awesome! The switch does take a couple of minutes to self-program once you turn the power back on, so don’t panic if it doesn’t work immediately. You can hear a low click when the lights come on – not a big deal for me. A 3-way application like mine requires that you also modify the wiring on the companion switch (clearly stated on step 3 of instructions) - that was very easy and requires no additional supplies. This switch is a total win for me.

                        Great switch. Very sensitive and turns on lights even though it is partially blocked from view. The switch was used to control 8 4' flouresent fixtures in a locker room. This has really helped to control our utility costs and turn off the lights when the room is unoccupied. Highly recommend.
