Such products can be purchased to use with existing wall plugs. If it's a switched socket, you could probably also use a standard motion detecting switch.

It's not a switched socket so a standard occupancy sensor will not work. Would be a piece of cake if it was a switched outlet.

Easy to accomplish with a smart hub but haven't figured a way to do this without. Probably not going to find the solution I want but maybe someone has worked through this.

That is a good option when the plug is in the same room and there is line of sight from the plug into the room. I've never seen something like that before.

In my situation the plug itself is actually in a different room so this won't work for me. I need the motion detector to wirelessly communicate with the plug.

I know there are wireless occupancy sensors that will communicate with a receptacle, but the hub part... When you say "hub" do you mean some kind of special hub or just a WiFi connection?

For a fairly long time the electrical code as required that a light be able to be turned on as one enters a room. Sometimes that's an overhead light and sometimes a switched receptacle controlled by a switch near the entrance to the door. Does the room have a switch?

You might also want to ask this in the Electrical Wiring section.

Yesterday at Wal-Mart in the electronics sections they had a whole case of gadgets like this that work with Google. Might give it a browse to see if they have what you need. I have a light in the basement by my washer and for some reason it never had a pull chain. Years ago I bought a sensor that screwed into it then the light bulb screws into the sensor. When I walk in that area light comes on then when I leave turns off after a few minutes. Mary

A hub is a smart home hub like SmartThings or Wink.

I see that I over-simplified my scenario in the first post, which has led to good recommendations but that won't meet my needs.

The plug I want to control is not in the same room as the motion sensor. So I need a motion sensor in one room that will wirelessly turn on a plug which is in another room when it senses motion AND turn the plug off when the room is no longer occupied.

I want this to happen without the assistance of a smart home hub, so either over WiFi or RF or such. Or with the assistance of IFTT.

Maybe you will have to invent it. Would be curious to know if anything exists. Mary

There are ways to do this with a hub.

If it can be done with a hub then why not do it that way? Serms easier than trying to do it without a hub, what kind of hub will control something in another room? Mary
