Motion sensing only
This mode only makes use of the embedded motion sensor to detect motion. The brightness of the area is ignored.
In sensing settings, you can set each room to react differently at different times of the day (we offer two dedicated phases. More details here), and adjust delays such as the vacancy delay and the manual override delay.
Motion sensing with brightness condition
This mode makes use of both the embedded motion sensor and the embedded daylight sensor. It helps you turn on the the lights when the area is dark and some motion is detected.
If motion is detected while the brightness is already high, lights will not be triggered. If the area gets dark but no motion is detected at the time, the lights will not be triggered either.
In sensing settings, you can set each room to react differently at different times of the day (we offer two dedicated phases. More details here), and adjust delays such as the vacancy delay and the manual override delay. You can also adjust the brightness threshold (above it, lights will not be triggered. Below it, lights will be triggered if motion is detected).
There are 3 ways for you to select a brightness threshold:
- Select one of the presets
- Use the last brightness value reported by the sensor
- Input a custom value of your choice
Brightness sensing only
In this mode, the only embedded sensor enabled is the daylight sensor measuring the ambient brightness. Any motion in the area will not be taken into account, and the lights will simply turn on when it gets too dark, and turn off when natural light increases (a typical case would be a "dusk to dawn" automation).
In sensing settings, you can set each room to react a different brightness threshold. A single phase of 24h is available.
In order to prevent your lights from quickly turning on and off when the ambient brightness fluctuates around the threshold (for example at dusk), we actually offer two distinct brightness thresholds:
- a lower threshold. Once the measured brightness reaches below it, lights will turn on
- an upper threshold. Once the measured reaches above it, lights will turn off
- When the measured brightness falls between the lower and upper thresholds, the lights keep their current status. This prevents repeated on/off when brightness has minor fluctuations
If needed, you can set the same lux value for the lower and upper thresholds. However, you cannot set the higher threshold at a lower value than the lower one.
