I've been searching specifically for an Occupancy Sensor Switch that is compatible with the Amazon Echo. Not sure why this is such a novelty to find. If anyone has found one that works I would greatly appreciate the suggestion.

What's your intention for the sensor's integration with Alexa? There are quite a few brands of motion detectors (either standalone or part of a home security kit) that can work with Alexa thru IFTTT.
For e.g. Broadlink s1c kit (http://s.aliexpress.com/NjaEfeQj?)

hue also has a motion sensor that works without ifttt

tthoben - I have several bedrooms/bathrooms that have occupancy sensors in them. They have their own set timers to turn off when motion is no longer detected unless the power button is pressed. I want to be able to turn them on/off via the Echo outside either of it's functions. I'm looking for a singular device vs a separate motion sensor and switch.

There is a z-wave version of what you are looking for, but it requires a hub (Vera, Smartthings, etc.) to work with Alexa.

I think that's just a z-wave dimmer switch. I don't see a sensor function in the specs.
Getting combo devices out of GE is hard. each gangbox device can only do one thing, based on their track record.
I use GE z-wave for my house and SmartThings hub. So I've studied their product line a bit...

The motion sensor is for local control (this switch on when motion detected, etc) and to send alerts. I don't think it can be used as a separate motion sensor in Smartthings, Vera, etc.
