To turn off a motion sensor switch, locate the switch on the sensor or nearby wall. Press and hold the switch button for about 3 to 5 seconds, or until the light flashes, indicating that the sensor is bypassed or deactivated. If there's a manual mode, switching to this setting will also disable the motion sensing features. For some models, turning the light switch off and on quickly may also reset the sensor to stay off. Always check the manufacturer's instructions for specific details.
