Motion Detector help

The built-in spirit level ensures that the motion detector is always correctly aligned and hangs straight on the wall, especially when screw mounting.

Only the supplied adhesive tape is suitable for mounting and installing the motion sensor. In principle, other adhesive tapes are also possible. However, we cannot assume any warranty for these.

In normal operation a battery provides a battery life of approx. 5 years. To extend this, you can optionally insert another battery.

Please check whether under "Administration" -> "Devices"-> "Adapter plug" the check mark "Lamp connected" is set for the corresponding device. This setting treats the adapter plug like a luminaire and integrates it into the "Movement light" and "Presence simulation" services. You can also control the adapter plug under your "Favourites" using the "Room light" tile together with other luminaires in the room.

Even though it may not appear so at first glance, the material at the breakthrough points is designed to be pierced with little force. Don't worry, you can't break anything here.
