Occupancy sensor not working.
I actually returned the 1st unit and swapped it out for a second because i assumed it was a faulty unit.
A motion detector basically consists of a motion sensor for motion detection and an electrical switch.
Acuity brands provides a comprehensive selection of occupancy sensors.
Light would not turn on from motion but the sensor seemed to be working per the flashing green led.
