Light Sensor

  • Light Sensor is used for detecting whether it is bright or dark in the target environment.
  • You can define the threshold for being bright or being dark in the app. Navigate to the Settings page of Motion Sensor in the app for more information.

How to Use

  • Reset Button facing up
    The recommended height to install Motion Sensor is 1.2m-2m to the ground. The detection range will be reduced when it is placed lower than 1.2m. There will be detection blind spots when it is placed higher than 2m.

  • Reset Button facing down (for Pet Owners)
    If you are a pet owner, it is recommended to install Motion Sensor to a spot 0.1-0.2m higher than your pet(s), with the Reset Button facing down. You can also install Motion Sensor to a spot slightly lower than your chest to prevent false alarms triggered by your pets.

  • Place Motion Sensor without the Base
    Place Motion Sensor directly on a table or shelf or stick it to a flat surface using the 3M Sticker.

Q&A

  • Q: It is not sensitive within the detection range set during high temperature.
    A: When the room temperature reaches 97°F (36°C), it is very similar to the human body temperature. Motion Sensor will be less sensitive in this case. Please cool your room by turning on the AC or fan.

  • Q: There is a lot of false alarms.
    A: Adjust the angle of Motion Sensor to avoid window area, heat sources, and any areas with constantly moving objects.

  • Q: How to enable Cloud Service?
    A: You need to purchase a SwitchBot Hub Mini (sold separately) and set it up under your account. Then navigate to the app homepage. If you see a cloud icon showing up on the Motion Sensor device card, it means it is being scanned by Hub Mini. Navigate to the Settings page of Motion Sensor and you can enable Cloud Service from there.
