How to configure the PIR Motion Sensor Events
1. Go to Set up Devices
2. Tap the Motion Sensor you want to set up under the Sensors category
3. Under Motion Sensor Events tap Add new Event
4. Select a target Space that the Sensor will control
5. In the Select a Target menu, choose one of the 3 options
(Scene / This Space / Device in this Space) - in reference to what you want the Sensor to
control (turn on/off) then tap Save
6. If you have chosen Scene in the above menu, go to the Select Scene menu and make your
choice then press Save
If you have chosen This Space proceed to the next step
If you have chosen Device in this Space, select the Device you want to control then press Save
7. Set Timeout - turn lights off after a specified amount of time (0 minutes 0 seconds for never)
between 1 second and 60 minutes
The timeout is the amount of time since motion was last detected before the lights turn off
8. Set time constraints for the Event (you can choose All day or between two times, with the
choice of Sunrise/Sunset) then press Save
This lets you create a timeline of events for your Sensor
Choosing Sunrise/Sunset for the first time will require you to allow the App to gather your
Location ( check the Sunrise Sunset section in General Information)
9. Set day for Event
(Everyday/ Weekdays / Weekends / One specific day Monday-Sunday) then press Save
10.Set the daylight sensitivity for motion detection (the Motion Sensor can detect the amount
amount of light in the vicinity, measured in Lux) by moving the Lux slider to your desired value
(the higher the slider value the more likely it is for the Sensor to be triggered) then press Save
If slider is at the top the Motion Sensor will always be triggered (Blue Slider - Any motion will
always activate the lights)
If slider is Green - Based on the current level of light any detected motion will activate the
lights
If slider is Red - Based on the current level of light any detected motion won’t activate the
lights
11.Once you are happy with your settings finalise the Event and enable it by pressing Save
12.The Event will now appear in the Motion Sensor Events section
13.By tapping the Event you can disable/enable it at any point
14.By holding on the Event or pressing the 3 dots
⋮
, you can modify the settings for the Event or
Delete it
15.Press Save once you are happy with your Motion Sensor settings to go back to the All Devices
page
The way the Sensor works is when there is motion, the Sensor’s alarm goes true. After 30 seconds of
no motion detected the Sensor’s alarm goes false which starts the timeout. If motion is detected the
timer will reset and the process above will begin again.
