Features

The Card Access InHome™Wireless
Motion Sensor works with your
Control4®system and combines the
features of a passive infrared (PIR)
motion sensor with ambient light sens­ing detection into a single device. The
product allows wireless generation of
Control4 home automation events
based on room or area occupancy . It
integrates into Control4’s 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).

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 can’t 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 occupancy­based 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.”

1. Battery Installation

Install the 9V battery into the rear of the motion
sensor (see figure below). After the battery is
connected the motion sensor’s red LED (visible
through the motion sensor window) will blink for
approximately eight (8) seconds while a wire­less 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.

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 sys­tem in the same manner as all other Control4 devices. When prompted to
identify the unit, depress the
button inside the InHome
Wireless Motion Sensor’s battery
compartment four (4) times. The
green LED will blink twice to con­firm the ID has been sent to the
Control4 system and the MAC
address of the device will be
added to the appropriate field. T o
configure Composer Project
events based on the InHome
Wireless Motion Sensor’s states,
please refer to the Composer
documentation.

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 con­trolling 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.

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.

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 T est,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
T est 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 .

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

Insert 9V alkaline battery
into the sensor.

The button is located inside
the battery compartment.

Diagram 2Diagram 1

The angle of the Wireless Motion Sensor may be adjusted,in order to control
how far the Motion Sensor can “see”. T o 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 unit’s 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.

Y ou ma y 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 cas­cading 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.

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 pro­grammed and are described in the following diagram:

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.
