Dear customer,

Congratulations on purchasing your Bosch Smart Home Motion Detector. It will help you to make your home even safer and smarter. It reliably detects movement using passive infrared technology, an additional temperature sensor and an intelligent algorithm. Thanks to the integrated pet immunity function, false alarms triggered by pets weighing up to 25 kg can easily be avoided. The Bosch Smart Home App immediately warns you in the event of unauthorized entry into your home or if the Motion Detector is tampered with. The Motion Detector is quickly integrated into your system via the Bosch Smart Home Controller.

We hope you enjoy your new product, The Bosch Smart Home Team

6.7 Selecting pet immunity or sneak-by guard

Set the desired sensitivity level on the Motion Detector. When doing so, you can choose between the pet immunity and sneak-by guard functions. Upon delivery, the product is set to pet immunity with the rotary switch on the rear side of the housing turned to the left. For the sneak-by guard, turn the rotary switch to the right.

Diagram showing a device with icons and a magnified view of its internal components, likely illustrating home control or smart system integration.

If pet immunity is activated, small animals (< 25 kg) ignored by the Motion Detector's front sensor. The sensor directed downwards is then switched off. When pet immunity is activated, the sneak-by guard is deactivated.
