Your Motion Sensor connects to the internet via a YoLink hub (SpeakerHub or
the original YoLink Hub), and it does not connect directly to your WiFi or
local network. In order for remote access 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 Location Considerations:
Before installing your Motion Sensor, please consider the following:
- Passive-infrared (PIR) motion sensors such as your YoLink Motion Sensor detect movement within a specific area by sensing the infrared energy emitted from a body, causing a temperature change, as it moves across the sensor’s field of view.
- The Motion Sensor is intended for indoor use. As the sensor uses infrared sensing technology, ambient temperature and the temperature of the detection target (such as people) is a factor. Hot, outdoor environments, even if under cover (such as a car port) will result in undesired behaviors such as false alarms or failure to detect motion. Consider our Outdoor Motion Sensor for outdoor applications.
- Do not use the sensor in extremely hot or steamy environments, such as in a boiler room or near a sauna or hot tub.
- Do not aim your Motion Sensor at, or place the sensor near sources of heat, such as space heaters, or near sources of rapid temperature change, such as heating or cooling grilles or registers.
- Do not aim your Motion Sensor at windows, fireplaces, or other sources of light. For example, at night, lights from a vehicle shining through a window directly into the motion sensor may cause a false alert.
- Mount the Motion Sensor to a rigid surface, free of vibration.
- Placement of the Motion Sensor in high traffic areas will reduce the life of the batteries.
- Pets such as cats and dogs can set off the Motion Sensor. If you have pets and are using the sensor for security applications, consider wall-mounting your sensor, which provides more control over the detection region.
- The Motion Sensor best detects motion moving across its field of view, as opposed to moving directly towards it.
- The Motion Sensor has a 360° cone of coverage (viewed from directly below, sensor facing down), with a 120° coverage profile (viewed from the side of the sensor). Detection range is approximately 20 feet (about 6 meters).
- If mounting your Motion Sensor on the ceiling, the ceiling height should be no more than 13 feet (about 4 meters).
- If wall-mounting your Motion Sensor, the suggested mounting height is approximately 5 feet (about 1.5 meters).
- The Motion Sensor has an integral magnet that allows for mounting to the metal mounting plate or to a metal surface. The metal plate has mounting tape, that allows it to be secured to a suitable surface. Additional mounting plates with pre-installed mounting tape are available for purchase on our website.
- We recommend you test the proposed location of your Motion Sensor before permanently installing it. This can be easily done with painter’s tape, by taping the mounting plate to the proposed location, allowing for testing the sensor, as explained later.
- The YoLink Motion Sensor does not have pet immunity features. One method to prevent false alerts caused by pets includes avoiding the use of this sensor in areas the pets may occupy while the sensor is armed. Wall-mounting your sensor higher on the wall, so that the coverage ‘cone’ does not include the floor of the room, is another method. Adjusting the Motion Sensor’s sensitivity to low may help (but it may slow response time, or prevent operation entirely). Large dogs and/or pets that climb up on furniture will likely cause a false alert, if in the coverage region of your Motion Sensor. A trial & error process of testing the proposed sensor location and settings, with your pet, is recommended.
The mounting tape is extremely adhesive and can be very difficult to remove
later without damage to the surface (removing paint, even drywall). Use care
when installing the mounting plate on delicate surfaces.
Install and test the Motion Sensor:
- If mounting the Motion Sensor to a metal surface, you can do so at this time. Otherwise, you may either secure the mounting plate to the surface, using painter’s tape (to test the location first), or you can secure the mounting plate to the surface. Do so by first cleaning the installation area, using rubbing alcohol or similar to remove all dirt, oil or grease from the mounting surface. Remove the backing from the mounting tape, then place the mounting plate at the desired location, tape side to the mounting surface. Press and hold for at least 5 seconds.
- Place the Motion Sensor on the mounting plate. Ensure it has a good magnetic connection to the plate.
- Next, 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 Motion Sensor status as you walk through the coverage area. You may need to adjust the location of the sensor and/or sensitivity.
- When the sensor responds as desired, if temporarily installed, you may permanently install it as noted in step 1.
Please note! A motion sensor is not a guarantee of security or protection
against intrusion into your home or business. As noted, motion sensors can be
prone to false alarms under certain conditions, and they may also not respond
as desired under certain conditions. Consider adding additional motion
sensors, as well as door sensors and/or vibration sensors, to enhance your
security system and make it more responsive to intrusion.
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 Motion
Sensor.
