Sorry for the late reply. Here's the one I used. I think it requires that your home is wired with a neutral wire. There are probably some out there that don't require that if you don't have neutral.

E: The best bet is to find areas where you want the light to go on no matter what AND that the switch is in a place where it won't switch on when you don't want it to. For example, I have one in my garage, in my laundry room, in a weird hall where the switch is on the other side of the room from where I normally walk in and on a single light in my kitchen (this is so only one light goes on in the kitchen goes on in case I'm up in the middle of the night and need just enough light to move around or enough light to find the other switches), and in a couple of closets. They have adjustable sensitivity and an adjustable timer, so in some cases, I have it really sensitive and others not-so-sensitive. And, for instance, in my laundry room, I have it so it turns off after one minute of not detecting motion, so I never have to touch the laundry room switch and it turns on when I walk in and off one minute after I walk out with an arm full of clothes.
This explains why you can install an IR wall switch only rated for 800W like this UL listed one -
