I had the same problem.
Occupancy sensor not working.
To do that it needs a path to neutral.
A motion detector basically consists of a motion sensor for motion detection and an electrical switch.
I actually returned the 1st unit and swapped it out for a second because i assumed it was a faulty unit.
Some models require neutral others require ground which is used to draw power but the current is less than 1ma is considered harmless.
Light would not turn on from motion but the sensor seemed to be working per the flashing green led.
The sensors use infrared ultrasonic microwave or other technology the term encompasses devices as different as pir sensors hotel room keycard locks and smart meters occupancy sensors are typically used to save energy.
Clicking this will make more experts see the question and we will remind you when it gets answered.
Occupancy sensing switch symptom possible causes solution cannot switch power on or off with the newly installed sensor switch.
Sensors occupancy vacancy sensors lutron offers a variety of occupancy vacancy sensors so you ll be able to choose the sensor that best fits your needs whether you re looking for a sensor for your home or for a commercial application.
How occupancy sensors work.
Ground is required for the sensor switch to function.
Occupancy sensors require standby power to operate the sensor when the load is off.
In genral it does not matter whether the motion detector switches an incandescent bulb or led light for example.
Connect green wire to ground.

Probably is will not work without the ground.

Generally this sensor unites a motion detector using a timer as well as a light switch to activate and deactivate the lights as they are not required.
Acuity brands provides a comprehensive selection of occupancy sensors.
Green wire is not connected to ground.
The lamp connected to it lights up.
This seemed to work for me.
This post looks at how they work.
After the second unit behaved the same way i did some research and found myself here.
Ms ops2 ms vps2 ms ops5m ms vps5m ms ops6m2 dv ms vps6m2 dv white wire is not connected to.
If the sensor detects a movement the switch is activated and the output voltage is switched on.
