Leviton Decora Vacancy Motion Sensor Switch, Manual-On, 15A, Single Pole/3-Way, White

The Leviton Decora Vacancy Motion Sensor Switch is a manual-on, 180 degree PIR wall box occupancy sensor built for reliable lighting control in single pole and 3-way/multi-sensor applications. Rated 15A, this in-wall switch ships assembled in white, with an included color change kit for ivory and light almond so it can match existing device plates. As a vacancy detector, the switch requires the occupant to manually turn lighting on while automatically shutting lights off once the space is vacant, helping reduce unnecessary energy use. Wall plate is not included.

Key Features

  • Amperage: Rated 15A for standard residential and commercial lighting circuits.
  • Vacancy (Manual-On) Sensing: 180 Degree PIR wall box sensor detects occupancy and requires manual activation, then automatically switches off when the space is vacant.
  • Switching Configuration: Supports Single Pole and 3-Way/multi-sensor with remote wiring configurations for use in single- or multi-location switching setups.
  • Poles: Single pole configuration as specified, with 3-way compatibility for multi-switch locations.
  • Color Options: Assembled in white with an included color change kit for ivory and light almond, allowing the device to be matched to the room's decor without ordering a separate unit.
  • Available Configurations: Offered in 1LE and 1LZ configuration options to fit the required switching setup.
  • Wall Plate: Wall plate is not included and should be ordered separately to complete the installation.

Leviton IPV15-1LE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Leviton IPV15 vacancy sensor turn the lights on by itself when someone walks in?
No. The IPV15 Decora sensor is a vacancy device, not an occupancy-on device: someone has to press the paddle to turn the lights on, and the 180 degree PIR element only handles the auto-off once the room is empty. That behavior is what most energy codes want in offices and classrooms, but it is the wrong choice for a restroom or corridor where people expect the lights to come up on their own. If you want lights-on automatically, specify an occupancy sensor instead.
2) How big a room will the Leviton IPV15 wall sensor cover?
Coverage is 900 square feet with a 180 degree field of view, which is what you get from a wall box PIR aimed out into the room. That suits a private office, a classroom, a conference room, or a storage or utility space where the switch sees the whole floor area. PIR needs line of sight, so tall shelving, partitions, or an L-shaped room will shadow part of that 900 square feet; wire a second sensor in the multi-sensor configuration to pick up the blind area.
3) Can I use the Leviton IPV15 vacancy sensor in a 3-way circuit with a switch at each door?
Yes. The IPV15 is single pole and 3-way rated, so it drops into a two-location circuit. In a 3-way setup you pair it with a companion switch or a second sensor using the remote wiring configuration, so either end can turn the lights on manually and the sensor still handles the auto-off. A single pole install uses the same device with no traveler.
4) What is the difference between the Leviton IPV15-1LE and IPV15-1LZ?
They are the two configuration options of the same 15A Decora vacancy sensor: order the 1LE or the 1LZ depending on which switching setup you need. Both are the manual-on, 180 degree PIR wall box device rated for single pole and 3-way. When you spec the job, call out the full part number, IPV15-1LE or IPV15-1LZ, rather than just IPV15.
5) Do I need to order a separate sensor to match ivory or light almond devices already in the building?
No, one part number covers all three colors. The switch ships assembled in white and includes a color change kit for ivory and light almond, so a property manager standardizing across mixed device plates can stock one item. The wall plate itself is not included, so order the Decora plate in the finish you need to complete the install.
6) Is the Leviton IPV15 sensor switch rated for a 15 amp lighting circuit?
The amperage rating is 15A, which covers standard 15A residential and commercial lighting branch circuits. It is a wall box switch, so it goes in place of the existing toggle or Decora switch controlling that circuit, not in the panel.
7) What else do I need to order to finish installing a Decora vacancy sensor switch?
Budget for a wall plate: it is not included with the IPV15, and the device takes a standard Decora style opening. Nothing else is needed for a single pole swap. For a 3-way job you will also need the second device at the other location, wired per the remote configuration.
