Motion Sensor on 3-Way

[betty.angelucci@gmail.com]

I have the following setup:
(1) Light fixture at base of basement steps.
(2) Switch plate at the top of the steps
(3) Switch plate down in the basement area

I want that:
(1) The light turn on by motion when the plane is broken at the top of
the steps
(2) The light goes off after set period
(3) The light goes on by motion when the plane is broken in the
downstairs area

Can I install 2 Leviton (3-Way) switches to accomplish what I am
looking to accomplish?
If yes, can you make some wiring comments so that I am certain we wire
this one for proper functioning?

If not, how else should this setup be wired?

Thank you,

Use a standard 3 way at one location and a 3 way motion detector at the
other. Smarthome has them in both white and ivory:

You should be able to orient one or the other to cover both areas but if
not you can use a pair of these.

We seem to be missing something. How are you sensing when people pass the
top or bottom or the stairs?

The 2523 is actually a single pole motion sensor that can get wired in
series with a 3-way switch. A two gang box is required for this set-up.
