Motion sensor light

[Ragshd11]

Anybody else have a stairway motion sensor light that has a mind of its own? Mine goes in and off randomly with no motion.

Just a shot in the dark, but is there a heat register anywhere near the sensor? These can be set off by a rapid change in temp.

No. It’s over the stairs.

You can buy them on Amazon (12v) very inexpensive. Pull out from wall, cut wires, repigtail, pop back into wall. I added a second one on the stairs.

Could it be sensing motion from elsewhere? If you know where the sensor is try placing a piece of tape over parts of it to see if it changes the area(s) it sees.
