I'm looking to replace the light sensor switch in my bathroom, but I've been having trouble finding the exact one I need on Home Depot's website. The switch setup includes a three-gang faceplate that covers a couple of single switches along with the sensor. If anyone can provide insights or specific details about this type of switch, it would be super helpful!

Just a little heads up: if you’re unsure about handling electrical work, I would recommend having someone experienced do it. Better safe than sorry, right? But if you’ve got help, you should be fine!
It sounds like you have a three gang faceplate that's for two single switches and a sensor switch. When replacing just the sensor, make sure to turn off the breaker first to cut power to the box. Once that’s done, remove the faceplate, take out the screws on the sensor, and carefully pull it out. Don’t forget to write down where each wire goes before disconnecting them! Install the new sensor and put everything back together before turning the breaker back on.
Is there a specific brand you recommend for the sensor switch?
No worries, my brother-in-law is taking care of it for me! ?
