    Can anyone tell me how to set up a 5753L sensor to have lights dim on 10% standby but when movement is detected it goes to 100%?

    Set up the sensor as normal. Then go to the blocks tab and under expiry change ramp off to recall 1, then set recall 1 to 10%

    Thanks Ashley for the advice. However, I have done this already. I have a wall switch that enables the sensor in the Occupancy tab. When I switch on the sensor it stays on for the timer amount and then dims down to 10%. But it does not detect movement after this.

    Any thoughts?

    !0% light may be enough to put it in daylight mode. Try adjusting the sensitivity pot.

    Thx for the tips. I adjusted the pot to full daylight but still no joy. Attached are screen grabs of the tabs if you can see what I'm doing wrong.

    The pot varies the light level between 0 lux and the value set in the light level target box, which is 80, so setting the pot to full is only selecting a light level of 80 lux which could be below you 10% threshold.

    Also, setting the enable to the same ga as the sensor ga is not actually supported and can give unpredictable results (that's what the yellow warning is telling you). If you want to disable the sensor, use another ga. You can also use logic in the output unit to override the sensor ga and keep the light off (with the MIn function)

    Try using the Any move option instead of Day and Night move
    The light level then is irrelevant.
