User guide
Your Hive Motion Sensor
If you’re new to Hive, please see the user guide with your Hive Hub to
set up your Hive account. Your sensor detects motion in your home,
and sends an alert to your phone.
Getting started:
Add your sensor
1
You can do this using your Hive app or the online dashboard.
Using the online dashboard:
• Log into your Hive account
at hivehome.com
• Under Settings select
Install devices, then follow
the on-screen instructions.
When prompted, put the battery into your sensor by
pressing firmly on the markings and then pulling open the case.
Once your sensor appears on the screen, you can name it and
press Save to complete setup.
Using the Hive app:
• Open the Hive app on your
phone, you may be asked
to log-in.
• Tap the Menu button
and then Install devices,
then follow the on-screen
instructions.
Choose a location
2
Find a place that has a good view of the
area you want motion to be detected in.
• Aim for around 2-3m from the floor as
any higher may leave blind spots below.
• Alternatively, you can rest it on its
side on a table or shelf, then you
may not need to fix it to the surface.
• Your sensor can detect motion up
to 6m away and has a 110° field
of view.
The following might trigger a false motion alert:
• Direct sunlight hitting your sensor.
• Having a window in view (movement outside a window).
• Having a heat source in view (such as a hot air blower,
a draughty window or an air conditioning outlet).
• Lots of post coming through a letterbox in view.
Remember: Pets can trigger your motion sensor. If you don’t want this to happen
try placing the sensor where pets won’t be seen.
Fix it in place (optional)
3
If you’d like to check the signal before fixing your sensor in place,
you can do this in the app or online dashboard under Manage devices.
Using the adhesive strips:
• Peel two strips from the backing paper and stick to either the
back or the two angled sides of the sensor depending on where
you’re attaching it.
• Wipe the area on the surface where the adhesive strips will be
attached and make sure it’s dry.
• Remove backing from the adhesive strips so that you can firmly
place the sensor on the surface.
Remember: Removing the provided adhesive strips from wallpaper or paint can
leave marks on the wall.
