Trouble with Indoor Motion Sensor With Dimmer!

Just installed one of the new indoor infared/motion sensing light switches. about $20 at home depot. It is working but sometimes the green light is coming on which shows the light should be coming on and nothing happens despite the fact that were like 6 inches from the unit waving our hands. I'm wondering if this could be because I also installed a dimmer with it. does anyone have any knowledge if dimmers can or cannot be used with motion sensing lights or should I look somewhere else for the problem.. The light fixture is a recessed light with a incandescent bulb..

Any help apprecieated!

Yes, I think you're right. The sensor is probably affected by the chopped-up waveform produced by the dimmer.
