If you're looking for a smart, efficient, and simple way to control your lighting based on motion, the PR12 Wireless Sensor Switch might be the solution you need. This small yet powerful PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor switch is designed to automatically control your lights and save energy by turning them on or off based on motion detection. In this blog, we’ll explore how it works, its features, and how you can set it up in three simple steps.
What is PIR (Passive Infrared) Sensor Technology?
PIR sensor technology detects infrared radiation, which is emitted by moving objects, such as humans or animals. The PR12 wireless sensor uses this technology to control your lights. When a moving object enters the detection zone, the sensor activates the connected light, and it will stay on for 30 seconds after detecting no movement. This makes it incredibly useful for places like hallways, bathrooms, and kitchens where you don’t want to keep the lights on all the time.
How Does the PR12 Wireless Sensor Work?
The PR12 Wireless Sensor Switch is designed for ease of use. When motion is detected, the switch turns on the connected LED lights automatically. After a brief period of inactivity (about 30 seconds), it will turn the lights off to conserve energy.
Here’s how it works:
- Motion Detection: The sensor detects movement in its range (up to 9.84 feet).
- Light Activation: As soon as motion is detected, the connected lights turn on.
- Automatic Turn-Off: After 30 seconds of no movement, the lights turn off automatically.
This feature makes it perfect for areas where you want lighting to activate only when necessary, ensuring both convenience and energy savings.

How to Use the PR12 Wireless Sensor Switch:
Setting up the PR12 Wireless Sensor Switch is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to pair and unpair the device, as well as how to adjust its operation modes.
How to Pair the Device (3 Easy Steps)
- Move the Switch to 2nd Gear: This is the pairing mode.
- Connect the Wireless Receiver to Power: Plug the receiver into a power source.
- Toggle the Switch Back to 1st Gear within 5 Seconds: The light will blink three times slowly, confirming a successful pairing.
How to Unpair the Device (3 Easy Steps)
- Move the Switch to 2nd Gear: This is the unpairing mode.
- Unplug the Receiver for 5-8 Seconds and Reconnect: This resets the pairing.
- Move the Switch to 1st Gear and Wait for 1 Second: The light will blink six times quickly, confirming successful unpairing.
Understanding the Operation Modes
- 1st Gear: Used for pairing and unpairing the device.
- 2nd Gear (Day Mode): The motion sensor operates within 2 meters during daylight hours. Lights stay on for 30 seconds after detecting motion.
- 3rd Gear (Night Mode): The sensor only works in dark environments, conserving energy when daylight is present.
Battery Note
If your remote runs out of power and requires recharging, you won’t need to re-pair it after recharging, making maintenance a breeze.
