What is motion detection with indoor motion detector(s)?

The advanced action Motion detection with indoor motion detector(s) switches on one or several lamps when movement is detected inside or when the light intensity drops below the level set on the motion detector. If no movement is detected during a certain, pre-defined period of time, the lamps will switch off again. You can extend the detection range by connecting several indoor motion detectors.

  5. Give the action a name.
  6. Set the behaviour as follows:

    BehaviourWhat?How?
    AChoose the master indoor motion detector which will activate the action.
    Master means that the light measured by this detector will be used to decide whether or not to activate the function.

    Click on the plus sign of the indoor motion detector you want to include in the action.

    B(optional) Choose additional slave indoor motion detectors.
    Slave means that the light measured by this detector will not be used to decide whether or not to activate the function.

    Click on the plus signs of the players.

    CSelect output players for this action.

    Click on the plus signs of the players. You can activate switched lamps or dimmable lamps at a set value.
    In this example we have chosen one switched lamp.

    D(optional) Choose a control to perform one of the following actions:
    • overrule the function (in case of presence detection). The output player will always be on and will not be affected by the mini detector.
    • manually switch on output players and automatically switch them off (in case of absence detection)

    Click on the plus sign of the player.

    Use a push button with feedback LED so you can clearly see whether it is active or not.

    Use Multiselect to select various outputs at the same time.

  7. Under Parameters, set the following:

    ParameterChoiceDescriptionExample
    Detection mode

    Presence detection (auto on, auto off)


    The outdoor motion detector controls the lighting.

    Absence detection (manual on, auto off)Switch on the light manually. The mini detector switches off the light when no more movement is detected.
    Switch-off delay0 - 23 hrs. 59 min. 59 sec.

    Standard: 1 min.

    The switch-off delay of the indoor motion detector itself is added to this.

    If you set the switch-off delay on the motion detector itself to 5 min. and in the programming software to 3 min., the total switch-off delay will be 8 min.
