What this sensor actually is
The TL-TUROSMART/SENSOR/PIR/3.5mm/BK is a Bluetooth Passive Infrared Sensor by TUROLIGHT, designed as an add-on control device for compatible fixtures rather than as a fixture of its own. PIR technology reads changes in infrared energy across its field of view — a person walking, a forklift passing, an arm reaching into a bay — and tells the luminaire that the area is occupied. It's a proven, low-fuss approach to occupancy control, and because the detection happens right at the light, there's no separate control station to wire on the wall.
Connection and installation
The unit uses a 3.5 mm connection and is listed as field installed, meaning it is meant to be added to the fixture on site rather than assembled at the factory. In practice, that's a big win on retrofit jobs: you can commission a building first and layer the controls in afterwards, or add sensors to only the zones that need them. Installation must always follow the host fixture's instructions and local electrical code, and power should be off during the work. The black housing blends in with dark-finish luminaires and shadowed ceiling planes, so the hardware stays out of sight while it does its job.

TUROSMART app and Bluetooth control
This sensor belongs to the TUROSMART family, and the official TUROSMART app is designed to make the experience seamless — that's where the sensor and its host fixture are paired and managed over Bluetooth. Working from a phone or tablet instead of a ladder is a real time-saver during commissioning, and it also means adjustments later on don't require a service call with tools. Keep in mind that this is a smart lighting accessory: it will not serve as a standalone wall switch or a plug-in device, and it needs a compatible TUROSMART-ready luminaire with a matching 3.5 mm sensor port to function.
Applications and documentation
Think of the everyday Canadian spaces where light gets wasted: a distribution aisle used twice a shift, a municipal garage, a self-storage corridor, a parts mezzanine, a car dealership service bay, a church basement or a school storage room. Dropping a PIR occupancy sensor onto the high bay over each of those zones means light on demand and darkness the rest of the time, with no behaviour change required from staff. TUROLIGHT states the product suits both residential and commercial projects, so it's equally at home over a big garage or workshop at the house.
