The Hands-Free Mudroom: Why Hardwired Motion Sensors Beat Voice Control

Voice assistants and smart apps have failed us in high-traffic areas like the mudroom. When your hands are full, you need instant, zero-friction illumination, not a 1.5-second delay from a cloud server. Hardwired PIR motion sensors like the Rayzeek RZ021 provide immediate, local control that works every time, without needing an internet connection, a charged phone, or a free hand to mash a switch.

The Pantry Poltergeist: Why Your LED Motion Switch Is Stuck “ON”

Your pantry motion sensor light is stuck on, but it’s not a ghost. It’s a welded relay, a common failure caused by the massive inrush current from your LED driver. This happens when a switch designed for resistive loads meets a modern capacitive load. We explain the physics behind this failure and why choosing a robust, motor-load-rated switch like the Rayzeek R-800 is crucial for a reliable lighting setup.
