Works great and doesnt require a neutral or ground
My two switch locations both did not have a neutral or ground wire. These switches work great for my locations. The switches are easy to adjust for sensitivity and time-out. With only two wires to connect, installation was very easy. The wire terminals were easy to use and located in a convenient place. I've been using these switches to control lights in a laundry/storage room and my wife and I are very happy with the results. The price seem reasonable, making these a really good value for me. For one switch the default motion detection and time-out seemed great. For the other location I need to both increase the sensitivity and time-out. The adjustment was quick and easy. The build quality seems good, but only time will tell.

Worker great right out of the box.
Great so far. I installed one of the two-pack in out laundry room. Installation was easy and I easily made the adjustment so it turns off after 10 minutes. Much more convenient, when we carry in a basket of laundry and the lights come on automatically. Plus, I donโt have to follow family members around turning out the lights. We have LED lights, so the power savings is not that large, but itโs one less thing I need to keep up with ๐I did make a mistake at first and ordered the model that required the neutral wire. Fortunately it was an easy return to Amazon. No matter the ages of your house, I recommend you pull off the switch plate and check if you have a neutral wire (usually, white, but check to make sure). If your current switch has one black wire bisected but the switch (plus the ground, of course), like mine did, the this switch should work fine for you.

True occupancy sensor
I have many PIR-controlled lights in my house, ceiling lights, portable LED lights, Lutron/Leviton bathroom switches. Unfortunately, all of them have one annoying feature:"Light Switch will turn off the light after the set time elapses, even if motion is continuously detected."What I wanted is to have a switch with truly "occupancy sensor" mode, when the switch is ON while you are in the room. The TOPGREENER TDOS5-HL device perfectly does this: the time-out timer apparently gets reset every time the motion is detected, so it won't make you panic and convulsively wave your arms . It looks like the small front LED flashes every time it detects a motion, which is a very handy feature. It will, however, turn the load off if you keep being motionless for the entire time-out duration, which is difficult to do for 5-10 minutes.Among other pluses I would mention that the device configuration uses analog trimpots. They are not as accurate as digital controls, but who cares if the delay is 20 or 22 minutes? The advantage is that if you have a power interruption, you don't need to re-program all your switches while digital switches will reset to defaults.The sensitivity is more than good for a bathroom or laundry room. My load is a 80CFM exhaust fan and a light fixture with 3 bright LED bulbs.I didn't try it for larger spaces as a garage. The description claims 1200ft coverage. This means the distance of ~34ft, while the max setup on internal dial says 4 ft, which is contradictory. It looks unlikely that the switch will work in every corner of a 1200 sq.ft space, and some people are complaining here about intermittent functionality even at 10ft.Overall, the TOPGREENER TDOS5-HL switch is an excellent product, clear 5 stars.

Works great without ground AND neutral wires
This is THE answer to no ground AND no neutral wires in a light switch box. And while installation instructions do ask for hot and load wires to be attached to specific labeled connectors on the switch, a fine reading of the diagrams indicates that the switch works with these wires reversed. So its pretty much fool proof. Words and diagrams in the instructions are clear. Good adjustment settings for sensitivity and how long the light stays on when motion is not sensed. I bought two of these for the price of one switch by a major name which said "installs with your existing wiring," but that means your existing wiring MUST have at least a neutral or a ground wire. BTW, do "shut off the power" before removing and installing a switch. So find the right circuit breaker to trip, and use a power sniffer as a double check. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to not risk injury or death when working with such things.
