Motion Detector help

Ideally, install your Smart Home Motion detector at a height of 2.20 m to 2.70 m - in a place where it is likely to be walked through. Make sure that there are no fans, radiators or windows in the monitoring area.

You can mount the Bosch Smart Home Motion detector on a wall or in a corner. Depending on the surface, this can be done with a screw or adhesive fixing.

Installation on a shelf is not recommended. If it is, then the Motion detector should also be positioned at a height of 2.20m-2.70m.

Please also follow the detailed instructions during the installation process in the app and the information in theInstallation instructions.

Make sure that the Motion detector is within range of your Smart Home controller. During installation, you can check the connection quality at your desired installation location in the app.

If there are still problems with the integration, please carry out the following steps if necessary:

1. check in the app settings whether the version is up to date. If not: Please update the version to the latest version.

2. carry out the installation again. To do this, please check whether the device is available under the "Devices" menu item and remove it if necessary.

3. carry out a reset before reinstalling. To do this, press and hold the Motion detector's mode button while reinserting the battery compartment until the Motion detector's LED flashes orange. Release briefly and press the button again until the LED lights up green. Then wait briefly and follow the instructions for connecting again.

4 Please check that the batteries are inserted correctly.

To reset your device, please proceed as follows:

1 First remove the battery compartment.

2 When reinserting the battery compartment, press and hold the contact switch ("Mode" button) on the inside of the device.

3. as soon as the LED flashes orange quickly, briefly release the button again.

4. press the "Mode" button again until the LED briefly lights up green.

The device will then restart. Please note that it may take a few seconds before the Motion detector is ready for operation again.

The Bosch Smart Home Motion detector can be installed in just a few simple steps. All you need is the Bosch Smart Home app, the accessories included in the packaging and possibly a drill and a screwdriver. After starting the Bosch Smart Home app, it will guide you through the individual installation steps.

Only the adhesive tape supplied is suitable for mounting and installing the Motion detector. In principle, other adhesive tapes are also possible. However, we cannot provide any guarantee/warranty for these.

Please check under "Management" >> "Devices">> "Smart plugs" whether the "Luminaire connected" checkbox is ticked for the corresponding device.

This setting means that the Smart plug is treated as a luminaire and integrated into the "Motion light" and "Presence simulation" services. In addition, you can control the Smart plug under your "Favorites" via the "Room light" tile together with other lights in the room.

In normal operation, one battery provides a battery life of approx. 5 years. To extend this, you can optionally insert another battery.

Even if it doesn't seem like it at first glance, the material at the breakthrough points is designed to be pierced with little effort. Don't worry, you can't break anything here.

Thanks to the built-in spirit level, you can ensure that the Motion detector is always correctly aligned and hangs straight on the wall, especially when screw mounting.

You only need to test the Motion detector once during installation. As soon as there is a fault (e.g. batteries about to run out), you will receive a notification on your smartphone.

The anti-theft protection is a part of the Motion detector that remains on the wall/corner if the device is forcibly removed from it and sends a signal to the controller and thus also to the connected smartphones. This only works reliably with screw mounting.

The Bosch Smart Home Motion detector uses passive infrared technology. All bodies (people, animals, vehicles, trees, etc.) emit infrared heat rays. The Motion detector measures and compares the infrared radiation in its detection area, but does not emit any rays itself and is therefore passive.

Once a movement has been detected, no further movement is detected for 180 seconds.

The Motion detector sends a signal to your Smart Home controller. The following actions can be triggered here via the "Alarm system" service, for example:

• You will receive a notification on your cell phone.
• The Smoke alarm siren sounds.
• Connected Philips Hue lamps flash red.

This can have a deterrent effect.

The Motion detector can also be used as a trigger for scenarios and automations. It can also be integrated into the "Motion light" service and start any actions there.

You can choose between pet detection and crawl-under protection on your Smart Home Motion detector. With the preset pet detection, pets weighing up to 25 kg are not taken into account and creep protection is deactivated. Activating creep protection ensures that movements directly under your Motion detector do not go undetected.

You can set the corresponding setting under the following menu path: Management >> Devices >> Motion detector >> Your corresponding Motion detector >> Additional functions >> Set sensitivity.

The Motion detector now switches on all Philips Hue lamps in the same room when motion is detected.

The light sensitivity of the Motion detector can be individually adjusted for this purpose. Once the appropriate level of darkness has been reached, the light sensor triggers the function in combination with a detected movement of the motion sensor.

The light can be switched off at time intervals. You have the option of setting different time intervals here. You can also adjust the brightness (1 to 100%) of the Philips Hue lamps yourself.

You must have either a Philips Hue lamp or the "Flush-mounted Light control" component for the corresponding lamp to be switched.

It should also be noted that the light is switched off depending on the time. After at least 5 minutes (selectable up to approx. 60 minutes) or optionally via the wall switch (flush-mounted control / Universal switch / Universal switch Flex).

Starting from the motion detector 90° to the sides and 12 m in depth.

Depending on whether the under-curve protection is active, movements below the Motion detector are also checked at the specified angle.

If the Motion detector is displayed as not accessible in the app, it is possible that the distance between the Smart Home controller and the component is too great or that other products are interfering with the connection. Also make sure that the component is installed at least 1 meter away from the Smart Home controller, i.e. not too close to the Smart Home controller.

Make sure that there are no problematic objects within range of your Motion detector (e.g. fan or radiator). If you have pets, also activate the pet detection function. You can also find a detailed overview in theInstallation instructions.

The intelligent Motion detector from Bosch Smart Home reliably and precisely detects movement. It distinguishes between conspicuous and inconspicuous events. This means it only triggers an alarm when necessary.

The Bosch Smart Home Motion detector is a smart home component that uses a passive infrared sensor (PIR) to detect and report movement indoors.

There's something going on in your home - of course there is, after all, you lead an active life with your loved ones! When you leave the house, there's nothing going on - except perhaps your cat, who is comfortably roaming the hallway. As part of your smart home system, the intelligent Motion detector distinguishes a break-in from your kitty's domestic stroll. It reacts to unwanted movements in two ways: it immediately sends you a notification via the system app. At the same time, it triggers the Smoke alarm siren.

In this way, they are informed when they are on the move and uninvited guests are deterred on site. So you can always be sure that your home - and your cat - are well protected.

Every living creature emits heat radiation in the infrared range. For small animals, it is correspondingly less than for humans. Essentially, the threshold value for the heat sensor is raised when detecting small animals.

To set the appropriate sensitivity, please go to the additional functions of your Motion detector and follow the instructions under "Sensitivity setting".

All standards can be found in the declarations of conformity on our homepage atLink.
