Look for a motion switch that has a relay controlled output or dry contacts, levinton, Hubble, and a few others make them rated for 15 or 20 amp loads, the ones with the dry contacts will have two same colored wires which one of these wires will connect to the line, and the other will connect to the load.
These type will list the ability to control everything from incandescent to HID type ballasted lights, and even motor loads. the type you installed has a solid state electronic controlled output which will conflict with motors and ballast of any kind.
The Hubble was one of the best ones I have ever used, and gave the best performance, they use both ultra sound and PIR for detection, and the lights are tripped on fast as you walk in the door, they can be set for adjustable photo detection for cloudy days to bring on the lights only when needed, also they are multi-voltage rated 120-277 which makes a nice unit to stock for fast service on just about any install.
