Yes, you can configure sensitivity parameters via your Z-Wave hub. Default is medium sensitivity.

Does it have a tamper alarm?

Yes, it includes a tamper switch that triggers an alarm if the sensor is removed from its base.

What is the detection range and angle?

The sensor detects motion up to 7 meters in a 90-degree field of view.

How do I pair it with my Z-Wave network?

Put your hub into inclusion mode, then triple-click the tamper button inside the sensor. The LED will blink slowly, then turn solid when paired.

Can I use it outdoors?

No, it is designed for indoor use only as it is not weatherproof.

Important safety information

Read this manual before attempting to install the device!

Failure to observe recommendations included in this manual may be dangerous or cause a violation of the law. The manufacturer, Fibar Group S.A. will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from not following the instructions of operating manual.

HomeKit technology

Apple HomeKit technology provides an easy, secure way to control HomeKit-enabled accessories using Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

After installing your FIBARO Motion Sensor, configure it from a compatible app with just a few simple steps.

You can even create your own custom scenes to control your home settings. For example, you can create a scene to automatically turn off the lights, lock your doors, close the garage door, and set the thermostat to the desired temperature in just one step.

To control this HomeKit-enabled accessory, iOS 9.3.5 or later is recommended.

Controlling this HomeKit-enabled accessory automatically and away from home requires an Apple TV with tvOS 9.2 or later or an iPad with iOS 9.3 or later set up as a home hub.

#1: Description and features

FIBARO Motion Sensor is a HomeKit-enabled multi-sensor using Bluetooth® low energy technology.

Along with detecting motion, the accessory measures the ambient temperature and light intensity.

The sensor has a built-in accelerometer to detect any tampering with the accessory.

FIBARO Motion Sensor is battery powered and designed to be installed quickly and easily on any surface.

The eye-shaped LED indicator signals motion, temperature level, tampering and can be used to identify the accessory.

Main features of FIBARO Motion Sensor:

• compatible with Apple HomeKit technology
  • detects motion using a passive IR sensor
  • measures ambient temperature
  • measures light intensity
  • detects tampering using accelerometer
• easy installation
• may be installed anywhere - wall or any surface
• battery powered
  • indicates state using multicolor LED diode

- Bluetooth® low energy technology for wireless communication

NOTE

Remember to use only battery type specified in the manual and keep the right polarity.

NOTE

If the accessory blinks green after powering, it is already paired and has to be reset to pair again.

#2: Powering the accessory

1. Turn the cover counter-clockwise and open it.

#3: Pairing the accessory

1. Open the Settings app on your iOS device.
2. Go to the Bluetooth ^® section, and turn the Bluetooth ^® on.
3. Place the accessory next to your iOS device.
4. Open a HomeKit compatible app of your choosing on your iOS device.
5. Open pairing window in your HomeKit app to detect available accessories.
6. Choose Motion Sensor you wish to pair.
7. You can identify it - Motion Sensor will triple blink blue 3 times.
8. Find HomeKit Setup Code on the last page of Quick Start Guide included in the box that looks like this:

1. Start pairing with your HomeKit app.
2. Point your iOS device's camera at the Setup Code to scan it or enter the Setup Code manually.
3. If entered Setup Code is valid, the device will complete the setup process.
4. Follow instructions displayed in the application.

i NOTE

Remember to keep your HomeKit Setup Code in safe place. You may need it in case of re-pairing.

#4: Physical installation

Installing the Motion Sensor:

1. Install the holder (using an expansion bolt or a sticker).

1. Insert the device into the holder.
2. Test the operation - check whether the accessory indicates motion detection.

Installation location and working conditions:

The Motion Sensor should be installed in a corner of the room or perpendicularly to the doors.

Moving objects such as trees blowing in the wind, cars passing by, household fans and moving masses of air and heat within detection area of the sensor can cause false motion detection.

Detection range:

Detection range of the Motion Sensor is shown below. Actual range of the Sensor can be influenced by environmental conditions.

#5: Reset

Resetting the Motion Sensor to factory defaults:

Reset procedure allows to restore the accessory back to its factory settings including HomeKit pairing.

1. Open the cover.
2. Press and hold the button.

1. Wait for the LED indicator to glow yellow.
2. Release the button.
3. Click the button to confirm.
4. Accessory will glow red to confirm reset.
5. Delete the accessory from the app before pairing it again.

#6: Functionality

Motion detection:

The Motion Sensor detects movement using PIR sensor and reports it to your iOS device.

Blink of LED indicates detected motion. Color of blink is dependent on current ambient temperature (smooth transition through blue, green and red). Brightness of blink is adjusted by measured light intensity.

Tamper detection:

The Motion Sensor detects tampering when accessory is moved and reports it to your iOS device. Tampering is indicated with an alternate blinking in red, blue and white.

Temperature measuring:

The Motion Sensor measures ambient temperature every 5 minutes. If the measured temperature differs from previously reported by at least 2^ C ( 3.6^ F), accessory reports it to your iOS device.

Battery level measuring:

The Motion Sensor measures battery level every 24 hours and reports it to your iOS device. Additionally, if battery level is below 15%, the accessory will report low level battery status to your iOS device.

Light intensity measuring:

The Motion Sensor measures light intensity. If the measured light intensity differs from previously reported by at least 200 lux, accessory reports it to your iOS device.

PIR sensor malfunction detection (Fault Code 1):

The Motion Sensor detects malfunction of PIR sensor (responsible for motion detection) and reports it to your iOS device.

Getting Fault Code 1 warning means that the accessory is damaged and should be returned to the distributor for the warranty (if still valid).

NOTE

The accessory measures temperature in the place of installation. Remember that temperature near the ceiling may differ from that on eye-level or the floor.

NOTE

The accessory measures light intensity in the place of installation, not where the sensor is pointed.
