How to install Wiser - Motion Sensor.

The Wiser Motion Sensor is a key component of Schneider Electric's Wiser 2nd Generation smart home system, designed to enhance security and energy efficiency by detecting motion and measuring ambient light levels. This article outlines its purpose, functionality, and installation process to help you seamlessly integrate it into your smart home setup.

1. For What Purpose?

The primary functions of the Wiser Motion Sensor include:

• Security Enhancement: Detects movement within its vicinity, enabling real-time alerts and triggering security responses to potential intrusions.
• Energy Efficiency: Measures ambient light levels (lux) to optimize lighting control, ensuring lights are activated only when necessary, thereby conserving energy.
• Automation Integration: Serves as a trigger for various automation scenarios, such as turning on lights upon entering a room or adjusting thermostat settings based on occupancy.

2. How Does It Work?

The Wiser Motion Sensor operates by:

• Motion Detection: Utilizing passive infrared (PIR) technology to sense infrared energy emitted by moving objects, effectively detecting motion within its coverage area.
• Lux Measurement: Assessing the brightness of the environment to determine appropriate lighting levels, facilitating intelligent lighting control.
• Communication: Transmitting data wirelessly to the Wiser Hub via Zigbee protocol, allowing for seamless integration and control through the Wiser Home app.

3. How to Install It?

Installing the Wiser Motion Sensor involves the following steps:

• Unpack the Sensor: Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
• Choose an Installation Location: Select a location that is free from direct
  sunlight, strong winds, or heat sources, as these can affect the sensor's
  performance. Avoid placing it near ventilation systems or in areas with
  temperatures exceeding 32°C, which can degrade sensitivity and detection
  accuracy.
• Mount the Sensor: Secure the sensor to the chosen location using the provided
  screws or adhesive, ensuring it is stable and positioned correctly for optimal
  coverage.
• Pair with the Wiser Hub: To integrate the sensor into your Wiser system:
  1. Open the Wiser Home app and navigate to the device pairing section.
  2. Press the function key on the sensor three times within 1.5 seconds; the LED will blink orange, indicating it is in pairing mode.
  3. Follow the in-app instructions to complete the pairing process. A solid green LED indicates successful pairing.
• Configure Settings: After pairing, customize the sensor's settings through the Wiser Home app:
  1. Sensitivity Adjustment: Set the motion detection sensitivity to high, medium, or low, depending on your preferences and the specific environment.
  2. Detection Delay: Define the time interval for the sensor to reset after detecting motion, which helps prevent false alarms and unnecessary activation.
  3. Lux Thresholds: Establish the ambient light levels that will trigger specific actions, ensuring lights operate only under desired lighting conditions.
