Features The Card Access InHome Wireless Motion Sensor works with your Control4system and combines the features of a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor with ambient light sens-
ing detection into a single device. The product allows wireless generation of Control4 home automation events based on room or area occupancy. It integrates into Control4s home automation system as a standard Motion Sensor Proxy with additional programming variables for detected light levels and day/night (dawn/dusk) detection. LEDs provide indicators to confirm you have successfully connected the product to the Control4 system. Additional LED feedback and diagnostics are available to test positioning of the motion detector within a room (walk test mode). Sensing motion and light inside and outside the home gives you automation control that responds to body heat and movement, or changes in ambient light levels. MOTION LIGHT OCCUPANCY CONTROL With the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor you can extend home automation control based on occupancy for locations inside or outside the home, without the need to run control wires over long distances (or where you cant run any wires at all). The InHome Wireless Motion Sensor enables home automation to adapt based on whether a person is present, such as:
Automated control of lights based on room occupancy Alerts when someone enters front walkway Detection of outdoor light levels for dawn/dusk events Automated pathway lighting And any other control application you can devise and safely integrate Government policy and high energy costs are driving consumers toward more environmentally-aware home power usage. The InHome Wireless Motion Sensor greens up the Control4-automated home by enabling occupancy-
based automation controls. Used in concert with additional Control4-enabled products (wireless switches, relays, dimmers and thermostats), the motion sensor can control HVAC, water heating and lighting systems to comply with environmental policies, conserve resources, and save money on utilities. The InHome Wireless Motion Sensor does this all without the wire. Or, as we say: Wires Not Included.

Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4) 2.4 GHz, 15-channel, spread spectrum radio 1. Battery Installation Install the 9V battery into the rear of the motion sensor (see figure below). After the battery is connected the motion sensors red LED (visible through the motion sensor window) will blink for approximately eight (8) seconds while a wire-
less connection is established with the Control4 system. The motion sensor requires a warm up time of approximately 45 seconds before it can reliably detect motion. After powering up the unit, the walk test LED (red LED) is automatically enabled for five (5) minutes, allowing the red LED to indicate when motion is detected (See walk test and adjustment below). This allows the installer time to adjust the motion sensor positioning and perform walk tests to verify that motion detection is functioning as desired. Insert 9V alkaline battery into the sensor. 2. Add to Composer Project To add the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor to your Composer project, select the Search Tab, and choose Motion Sensor in Device Type (see screenshot below). The InHome Wireless Motion Sensor is identified to the Control4 sys-
tem in the same manner as all other Control4 devices. When prompted to identify the unit, depress the button inside the InHome Wireless Motion Sensors battery compartment four (4) times. The green LED will blink twice to con-
firm the ID has been sent to the Control4 system and the MAC address of the device will be added to the appropriate field. To configure Composer Project events based on the InHome Wireless Motion Sensors states, please refer to the Composer documentation. 5. Mounting Select a mounting location for the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor. When choosing an appropriate location the following should be considered:
A mounting height of six (6) to eight (8) feet is recommended. Reliability of ZigBee mesh network coverage Shielding the motion sensor from direct sunlight, if possible, for better motion sensing reliability Avoiding placement of the motion sensor near heat or cold producing devices
(e.g. air conditioning or furnace vents, fans, ovens, heaters, etc.) as this may cause false triggers The included wall mount swivel bracket is necessary to mount the Motion Sensor at the desired location. Once a location is selected, attach the wall mount swivel bracket to the location using the screws and wall anchors provided,
(see diagram 1). Once the wall mount swivel bracket is mounted to the wall, slide the back of the sensor into the wall mount swivel bracket (see diagram 2). The mounting angle can be adjusted. Please refer to Section 3 Walk Test and Adjustment to determine the best mounting angle. The button is located inside the battery compartment. 3. Operation When motion is detected in the monitored area, the Wireless Motion Sensor sends a motion detected event to the Control4 system. When no motion has been detected for the designated time period (Occupancy Hold Time) a no motion event will be sent to the Control4 system. Using the slider on the Properties Page in Composer, the Occupancy Hold Time may be adjusted to values ranging from five (5) seconds to 60 minutes. Use the Occupancy Hold Time for the length of time required for the duration of the event or for the amount of time for a device to be controlled. For example, if you are con-
trolling a light in a particular room, set the Occupancy Hold Time for amount of time you want the light to stay ON after NO MORE MOVEMENT is detected. Then use the No Motion alert event to shut off the controlled light. The higher the Occupancy Hold Time setting, the longer the battery life of the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor. 4. Low Battery Indication Battery Low and Battery Critical events are generated by the Control4 system when the battery level on the Wireless Motion Sensor drops to a certain level. These events can be used by Composer scripts to signal the installer and/or the homeowner that battery replacement is needed. Diagram 1 Diagram 2 TIP: If mounting the unit to drywall, you may need to mark and pre-drill two (2) 3/16-inch-mounting holes at the two screw hole locations. Press the plastic wall anchors (included) into the drilled holes. NOTE: Make sure the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor is positioned for good ZigBee wireless reception by (1) ensuring it is within 150 feet of another ZigBee device and (2) avoiding other electrical equipment that may cause interference with the ZigBee signal (such as 2.4Ghz cordless telephones). If in doubt of ZigBee operation at the desired mounting location, you can use a Card Access InHome Wireless Contact Switch as a simple ZigBee functional tester to check for adequate operation. 6. Walk Test and Adjustment It is important to perform a Walk Test, after mounting the Wireless Motion Sensor, in order to determine if the sensor is properly detecting motion in the desired areas of the room or location. The Walk Test mode will indicate whether motion is detected by illuminating the red LED on the Wireless Motion Sensor. The Walk Test mode will automatically be activated for a 5-minute period after the unit is first powered up, or any time the button in the Wireless Motion Sensor is pressed (see figure in section 2). Walk Test is also activated via Composer when programming configuration changes such as Sensitivity (made on the Properties page) are applied to the unit. The unit will remain in Walk Test Mode for approximately 5 minutes after any of these actions are executed and will exit the mode automatically. The angle of the Wireless Motion Sensor may be adjusted, in order to control how far the Motion Sensor can see. To reduce the detection range, simply tilt the sensor downward. To increase the range, tilt the sensor upward. Range is maximized when the sensor is tilted to 12 degrees. (It is recommended that you do NOT adjust the Motion Sensor to less than a 12 degree angle). Maximum range may not be desired if the Motion Sensor is placed outdoors, since a false trigger may occur if the Motion Sensor is set to detect motion in the distance. Motion sensitivity is also adjustable on the Properties page in Composer (see Advanced Settings below for information on adjusting the sensitivity). You should walk in the area that you would like the Motion Sensor to monitor to validate functionality. While in Walk Test mode, the units red LED (visible through the Motion Sensor window) will illuminate if the Motion Sensor detects your movement. If the Motion Sensor does not cover the desired detection area, adjust the mounting angle and sensitivity accordingly. You should also perform the walk test in the undesired detection area to ensure movement is not detected. 8. Advanced Settings The Composer Properties Page allows for advanced configuration of Motion Sensor and Light Sensor properties. Several characteristics of the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor can be pro-
grammed and are described in the following diagram:

Move the sensor up to around 12 to maximize range. Instructs the Wireless Motion Sensor to send a periodic update of Motion status and light level. Only change if needed. Lower values can compromise battery life Click to program settings into the device 12 8 6 4 2 O 5 10 15 20 25 30 Detection area You may use two or more InHome Wireless Motion Sensors to improve detection coverage in an area. Multiple motion sensors can cascade (or link) to act together as a single motion sensing device, thus increasing the detection coverage. The motion detected event will happen when any of the cascaded/linked Motion Sensors detect motion, and the No motion detected event will be sent when all of the cascaded/linked Motion Sensor Occupancy Hold Times have expired. This cas-
cading process is done within the Composer software from the connections tab and is recommended if more than one Motion Sensor is used in the same general area. 7. Motion Sensor Sensitivity Adjustment The sensitivity of the Motion Sensor is adjustable via the Properties page in Composer. Change the setting by moving the sensitivity slider higher (to the right) or lower (to the left). When the sensitivity is set lower, more movement is required to trigger the Motion Sensor. It is recommended to set the sensitivity to a middle value and perform a Walk Test (Described in Section 6 - Walk Test and Adjustment). If the walk test result is satisfactory, the sensitivity does not require further adjustment. 9. Troubleshooting If the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor is not working:
Reset the Wireless Motion Sensor by disconnecting the battery from the unit, waiting ten (10) seconds, and then reconnecting power. To check for proper radio operation, do the following:
Ensure that the motion sensor is in the desired location and has been added to a Composer Project. Press and hold the button (located under the battery cover) for at least 3 seconds. This will put the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor into Radio Test Mode for the next 3 minutes allowing for radio performance observation. This mode can only be used after you have registered the unit into the Composer Project. The test repeatedly sends a signal to the controller, waits for a response, and indicates success (green) or failure (red) by LED. The indicating LED will remain lit for approximately 3 seconds before repeating the test. An occasional red LED is normal. Excessive red LEDs may indicate RF interference or a range problem. If this is the case you may need to move the unit to achieve improved performance. Contact us:
