Leviton Decora Occupancy Motion Sensor In-Wall Switch DOS15-1LZ – 15A, 3-Way Ready, White Ivory Light Almond

Smart occupancy sensing for convenient, energy aware lighting

The Leviton Decora Occupancy Motion Sensor in-wall switch blends motion sensing with reliable in-wall installation, turning lights on automatically when movement is detected and off after a user defined timeout. Its 180° PIR field-of-view covers up to 900 square feet, making it a practical upgrade for entryways, hallways, laundry rooms, and other frequent traffic zones without demanding constant manual control.

Designed with flexibility in mind, this switch fits in most standard wallboxes thanks to a slim profile. It supports a broad range of loads, including 600 W LED or CFL lighting and up to 1800 W incandescent, plus 1200 VA for magnetic and electronic low voltage loads and even some motor applications up to a half horsepower. For more complex layouts, single pole operation is available, while 3-way use is possible with a companion DD0SR switch, or you can configure a multi-sensor setup using two DOS15 units to extend coverage in larger or uniquely shaped spaces such as an L-shaped room.

• Single pole operation or 3-way with a companion switch for flexible wiring
• Multi-sensor option with two DOS15 devices for extended coverage

Beyond basic on and off, you gain hands on control through advanced settings. Press and hold the paddle to tailor the sensor’s sensitivity range, adjust the ambient light threshold to suit daylight conditions, and set the timeout to match your activity patterns. These customization options help balance comfort with energy use, without presuming a specific outcome for every space.

In terms of aesthetics and compatibility, the product ships with faceplates in White, Ivory, and Light Almond to suit different decors. The wallplate itself is sold separately, so you can pair the sensor with your preferred faceplate color and design. This sensor can be a practical component for homes aiming to align with building performance requirements, including vacancy control guidelines in certain jurisdictions. Real-world use examples include hallways that benefit from automatic lighting during nighttime trips, or kitchens and laundry areas where motion-based lighting can improve convenience without constant attention.

Overall, the Leviton Decora Occupancy Motion Sensor provides a measured, adaptable approach to lighting control. It emphasizes practical benefits—automatic operation, flexible wiring, and tunable settings—without promising guaranteed outcomes. Consider it as a potential enhancement to how spaces respond to occupancy, energy use, and daily routines.
