LEVITON Smart Sensor App
Product Information
The Smart Fixture Mount Sensors are a set of smart sensors designed for use
with the Smart Sensor App. These sensors come with various firmware levels
that offer different features and updates.
The initial release (1.0) provides basic functionality, while subsequent
updates (1.3 and 1.4) introduce grouping capabilities and scheduling options
for specific models.
The product also allows for product configuration, including setting up passcodes for individual sensors. Passcode protection ensures additional security for your sensors. Scanning helpful hints are provided to disable the Occ sensor for daylighting applications. When initially connected, the sensor undergoes daylight calibration for 24 hours.
The sensor can be configured as either an open or closed loop based on the application. Closed loop configuration is commonly used. The sensor also allows adjustments for the amount of ambient light required for daylighting, as well as response time to changing light conditions.
Groups can be created to manage multiple sensors together. Additional sensors
can be added to pre-existing groups, and groups can also be removed.
Scheduling functionality is available to create schedules and behaviors for
groups of sensors.
Contact information for Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc., including their
lighting and controls division and global headquarters, is provided.

- Note: passcodes should be six characters long and contain no special characters
Entering a Passcode for a Sensor with Passcode Protection
- Tap “arrow” icon next to the sensor you would like to connect to
- If a passcode has previously been set up for this sensor, you will be required to enter it
- To reset passcode, a factory reset is required (see installation guide for how to conduct a factory reset)
Scanning Helpful Hints
- If there are many available sensors in a space to connect to, it might be helpful to “Filter” the sensors to help you connect to the right one
- Enter sensor name to filter by name (works best if sensor name is known)• You can also filter by RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) strength
- Lowering the dBm value reduces the list of sensors and shows only those in proximity or those with the strongest BLE signal
- Move slider to the left to increase range, and to the right to decrease range
- Move slider all the way to left to see all sensors in a space (this can be helpful if you are trying to catch any sensors that have not been renamed, etc.)
- Note: Below 60dBm may not show any devices
- Click “Apply” to implement your filters
Sensor Configuration – Main Settings Page

Sensor Configuration – Advanced Settings
Advanced Settings – Daylighting Options
Daylighting Mode options:
- Disabled: (OFF)
- Ambient Light Hold-Off: holds lights OFF when sufficient ambient light is present to meet the target level; this mode does not dim, just turns lights ON or OFF (ideal for switching-only fixtures)
- Daylight Harvesting: dims the light output in relation to natural ambient light contribution; more natural light = less artificial light (for 0-10V fixtures)
- Daylight Transition Lighting: reverse daylight harvesting; ideal for areas where light transitions from dark to light or light to dark; eases transition for eyes (safety). Ideal for parking garages, tunnels, etc.
Photocell Mode
Set the Photocell mode as Open or Closed Loop base on the application
(Closed Loop is most common)
Daylight Sensor Level
Option to increase or decrease the amount of ambient light required for sensor
to start daylighting
Dim to Level
Set a minimum dim level while in Daylight Harvesting or Daylight Transition
Lighting Modes (0-99%)
Daylighting Calibration
- Automatic: Leviton’s AutoCal process automatically configures the daylight settings (calibration process takes 24-hrs)
- Manual: user configures the daylight target level
Daylight Response Time
Adjust the photocell response time to changing light conditions (1min-20min)
Advanced Settings – Dimming & Load
Dimming
-
Partial-ON: set the target Auto ON level (1-100%; default is 100%)
-
Partial-OFF: set the partial OFF level (0-99%; default is 0%)
Note: when in group, Partial- ON and Partial-OFF settings are synced to all devices
Full Off Timeout -
Set secondary timeout to turn light(s) OFF completely Options for 30 seconds to Always ON
Dimming Level trims the MIN and MAX lighting levels
- MAX setting is used to reduce the maximum output of the fixture
- MIN setting is used to increase the lowest level before the fixture switches OFF
Note: when in group, trim settings are synced to all devices
Advanced Settings – Templates
Templates allows user to save current device settings as a Template for future
use. Note: templates are stored on the smart devices they are created on.
- To create a template, press the green Create Template button
- Name the template and select Create
- Saves all current settings to named template
- To load an existing template to an FMS sensor, select template from the list on the Templates page and press Save
Clear Template
To clear a device from the template currently assigned to it, press the Reset
button. This will restore the device to default settings.
Grouping Overview

Scheduling Overview
- Scheduling allows sensors to behave differently based on the time of day or day of the week to maximize energy savings
- Ability to change light level, operating mode, timeout, partial-ON & OFF, and daylight mode
- Scheduling can be done individually or shared across a group
- Only universal voltage models (ZLDUZ and OFDUZ) have the scheduling feature
- Groups of mixed product including the non-universal voltage models (ZLD1Z and OFD1Z) can support scheduling if included with groups of ZLDUZ/OFDUZs
- Note: must be connected to the ZLDUZ/OFDUZ via the Smart Sensor App to initiate the schedule feature
Creating Schedules and Behaviors for a Group of Sensors
