Your Outdoor Motion Sensor connects
to the internet via a YoLink hub (Speaker- Hub or the original YoLink Hub),
and itdoes not connect directly to your WiFi or local network. In order for
remoteaccess to the device from the app, and for full functionality, a hub is
required. This guide assumes the YoLink app has been installed on your
smartphone, and a YoLink hub is installed and online (or your location,
apartment, condo, etcetera, is already served by a YoLink wireless network).

Installation
Sensor Placement Considerations:
- Depending on the location, the height and/or distance from your intended motion-detection area, it may be possible that your outdoor motion sensor responds slower than desired or too soon. Experiment with several locations until the sensor responds as desired.
- The outdoor motion sensor responds best to motion across the coverage area, as opposed to directly towards the outdoor motion sensor. As your sensor utilizes heat detection technology, avoid
- locations subject to rapid temperature changes, direct sunlight, or near heat sources such as heating registers, vents, radiators, space heaters, fireplaces, etc. All these environmental factors may cause false alarm and/or damage to the PIR sensor. Avoid sensor locations where it can be easily touched, such as by a child or dog.
Installation, Cont.
- We recommend mounting the motion sensor on a sturdy, non-metal surface, like a wall or a wooden post or a tree
- Detection Angle: The optimal detection angle is across the direction of motion, or 90°, similar to a gate across your driveway, as shown right
Avoid directing the sensor near surrounding areas with movement or activity (such as a nearby road that may cause false alerts. Factors such as temperature can adversely impact the optimal range and performance of the sensor.
Mounting Methods:
- A: With the plate vertical to the floor or ground
- B: With the plate horizontal to the floor or ground
Test the Outdoor Motion Sensor Location Before Installation:
- Test your outdoor motion sensor location before affixing the plate to the surface. Use masking or painters tape to secure the sensor to the surface, being careful to not obscure the detection window. Once you have the sensor temporarily mounted, test it out. With the app in hand, walk into the intended detection area while observing the status of the sensor as shown on the app (Motion Detected or No Motion Detected). Optionally, you may set up your automation (e.g. turn on a light on motion detection) to functionally test the motionproceed to the following steps for information on creating automations, then return to this step.
Begin Installation:
- Mark an outline (with a pencil, tape, etc.) of the mounting plate on the mounting surface for future reference after testing. Ensure the arrow on the plate points upward.
- Mount the plate with three of the four screws. Do not over-tighten the screws.
Method A Installation:
- Adjust the angle of your sensor so that it is viewing the target area.
- Tighten the adjustable bracket screw securely using a phillips screwdriver.
- Secure the mounting plate to the surface with the fourth screw.
- Gently tug on the sensor, to ensure it is rigid and secure.
Method B Installation:
- Gently turn over the sensor so that the fourth screw hole is visible. Insert and tighten a screw in this hole.
- Adjust the angle of your sensor so that it is viewing the target area.
- Tighten the screw securely using a phillips screwdriver.
- Gently tug on the sensor, to ensure it is rigid and secure.
Test the Outdoor Motion Sensor:
- Test the sensor. It is very important that you test the sensor as realistically as possible, to ensure it works as required for your application. With your phone in-hand, using the app, refer to the Outdoor Motion Sensor’s status as you walk through the coverage area. You may need to adjust the position or location and/or the sensitivity. Motion sensitivity can be set in the app.
Refer to the full Installation & User Guide and/or the online resources for additional information and to complete the set-up and settings for your Outdoor Motion Sensor.
