2.3 Pairing with a Smart Home Hub

The Aeotec SmartThings Motion Sensor uses Zigbee for communication. To pair it with your smart home hub:

1. Ensure your compatible Zigbee hub (e.g., Aeotec SmartThings Hub) is powered on and in pairing mode. Refer to your hub's manual for specific instructions on enabling pairing mode.
2. Open your SmartThings app or preferred smart home application.
3. Select the option to 'Add device' or 'Scan for devices'.
4. While the hub is searching, press the connect button on the motion sensor (usually a small pinhole button on the side or back) using a paperclip or similar tool. The LED indicator on the sensor will blink to show it's in pairing mode.
5. Once detected, follow the on-screen prompts in your app to complete the pairing process. You may be asked to name the device and assign it to a room.
6. The LED will stop blinking and turn solid for a moment, then turn off, indicating successful pairing.

2.4 Immuntar tas-Sensor

The sensor comes with a magnetic ball mount for flexible positioning.

1. Choose a suitable location for the sensor. Consider areas where motion detection is critical, such as hallways, entryways, or rooms.
2. Naddaf il-wiċċ tal-immuntar biex tiżgura adeżjoni xierqa.
3. Attach the magnetic ball mount to the desired surface using the included adhesive tape or screws (if applicable).
4. Place the motion sensor onto the magnetic ball mount. The magnetic connection allows for easy adjustment of the sensor's angle.
5. Adjust the sensor's angle to cover the desired detection area. The sensor can detect motion up to 15 feet with a 120-degree view firxa.

3. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

3.1 Sejbien tal-Moviment

Once paired and positioned, the sensor will automatically detect motion within its specified range and angle. When motion is detected, it sends a signal to your connected smart home hub.

• Twissijiet f'ħin reali: Configure your smart home app to send notifications to your smartphone when motion is detected, providing 24/7 monitoring.
• Automation Triggers: Use motion detection as a trigger for various smart home routines. For example, turn on lights when motion is detected in a room, or activate a security camera.

3.2 Temperature Sensing

The sensor also includes an integrated temperature sensor. This data is transmitted to your smart home hub and can be viewed in your smart home application.

• Monitoraġġ Ambjentali: Monitor the ambient temperature of the room where the sensor is located.
• Awtomazzjoni bbażata fuq it-temperatura: Create routines that respond to temperature changes, such as adjusting a smart thermostat or turning on a fan.

3.3 Integrazzjoni ta' Dar Intelliġenti

Leverage your smart home app to create custom automations and scenes:

• Entryway Lighting: Turn on lights automatically when you enter a dark room.
• Monitoraġġ tas-Sigurtà: Receive alerts if motion is detected while you are away.
• Iffrankar tal-Enerġija: Turn off lights or adjust climate control when no motion is detected for a set period.

4. Manutenzjoni

4.1 Sostituzzjoni tal-batterija

The sensor is powered by one CR123A battery. When the battery level is low, your smart home app will typically notify you. To replace the battery:

1. Dawwar bil-mod l-għatu ta' wara tas-sensor kontra l-arloġġ biex tiftaħu.
2. Neħħi l-batterija CR123A l-qadima.
3. Insert a new CR123A battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Erġa' poġġi l-għatu ta' wara billi tallinja l-marki u ddawwar lejn l-arloġġ sakemm ikun sew.
5. Dispose of the old battery responsibly according to local regulations.

Typical battery life is between 9 and 18 months, depending on usage and environmental factors.

4.2 Tindif tas-Sensor

To ensure optimal performance, keep the sensor's lens clean.

• Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the sensor lens.
• Evita li tuża kimiċi ħarxa, prodotti tat-tindif li joborxu, jew umdità eċċessiva, għax dawn jistgħu jagħmlu ħsara lill-apparat.

5 Issolvi l-problemi

5.1 Sensor Not Detecting Motion

• Iċċekkja l-batterija: Kun żgur li l-batterija mhix eżawrita. Ibdelha jekk meħtieġ.
• Ivverifika l-Pjazzament: Confirm the sensor is positioned correctly to cover the desired area. Obstructions can block its field of view.
