Motion Sensor & Timer Setup
Detailed Description
Motion Sensors and Timers in Toronto & GTA Homes Pay for Themselves — When They’re Set Up Correctly
Lights that stay on in empty rooms. Exterior lights that run all night. Basement and utility area lighting that gets left on because no one remembers to turn it off on the way out. These are routine energy waste scenarios in Toronto & GTA homes — and motion sensors and timer controls solve all of them directly. The technology is straightforward and reliable. The part that matters is correct installation, appropriate sensor placement for the space, and programming that actually fits how the space is used rather than defaulting to factory settings that no one adjusts.
At CNG Contracting, motion sensor and timer installation in Toronto & GTA is done properly — correct wiring for the control type, placement that covers the intended detection zone without triggering on traffic outside it, and programming that’s set to work for your Toronto & GTA home rather than requiring constant override.
What We Install and Configure in Toronto & GTA Homes
- Occupancy Sensors: Replace standard switches in Toronto & GTA home closets, utility rooms, bathrooms, and garages — lights on when you enter, off automatically when you leave.
- Motion-Activated Exterior Lighting: Front and back exterior lighting that activates on movement, deters approach, and provides safety lighting for Toronto & GTA homeowners and guests.
- Timer Controls: Scheduled operation for outdoor lighting, landscape lighting, and interior lamps — consistent automation without manual operation.
- Vacancy Sensors: For spaces where manual-on is preferred but automatic shutoff is desired — common in home office and bedroom applications in Toronto & GTA homes.
- Correct Detection Zone Configuration: Sensor aim and sensitivity adjusted for the actual space — not aimed at windows where passing traffic causes false triggers, or positioned with blind spots that defeat the purpose.

Frequently Asked — Motion Sensor Installation in Toronto & GTA
Can motion sensors replace existing switches in my Toronto & GTA home without rewiring?
In most Toronto & GTA homes with standard single-pole switch wiring, occupancy sensor replacement is a direct swap. Certain sensor types require a neutral wire — we check the existing wiring before installation and advise on compatibility.
How do I prevent exterior sensors from triggering on street traffic in Toronto & GTA?
Detection zone adjustment — aim angle and sensitivity setting. We configure every exterior sensor during installation to cover the intended area while minimizing false triggers from passing pedestrians and vehicles on your Toronto & GTA street.

Why is a Technical Visit necessary?
Installing smart timers or motion sensors isn't as simple as swapping a standard switch. Most modern automation devices require a "Neutral" wire (white) to power their internal electronics. Older Toronto homes often lack this wire in the switch box. Our Motion Sensor & Timer Setup assessment checks your wiring configuration to ensure we select compatible devices or run the necessary cabling for a safe installation.
