Function and device overview

This device is part of the Homematic IP smart home system and works with the Homematic IP radio protocol. All devices of the system can be configured comfortably and individually with a smart phone via the Homematic IP app. Alternatively, you have the option of operating Homematic IP devices via the CCU3 or in conjunction with many partner solutions. The available functions provided by the system in combination with other components are described in the Homematic IP User Guide. The Homematic IP Motion Detector with Switching Actuator – outdoor detects movements (e.g. a person) within the detection range and also registers the ambient brightness thanks to an integrated brightness sensor. The device is especially suited to outdoor use. The powerful motion detector can be used, for example, for lighting control or in security applications. The internal actuator can be used together with other Homematic IP motion detectors to cover an individual and wide area. Other Homematic IP actuators can also be connected to the device’s internal actuator. This means that several lights can be controlled simultaneously with one motion detector.

General system information
This device is part of the Homematic IP Smart Home system and communicates via the Homematic IP wireless protocol. All devices of the system can be configured comfortably and individually with a smart phone via the Homematic IP app. Alternatively, you have the option of operating Homematic IP devices via the CCU3 or in conjunction with many partner
solutions. The available functions provided by the system in combination with other components are described in the Homematic IP User Guide. All current technical documents and updates can be found at www.homematic- ip.com.

Detection range

The SMO230 motion detector has a detection range of up to 20 metres* and a detection angle of 180°. The stepwise tilting of the lens allows the device to be optimally adapted to local conditions. The motion detector has a total of three separate motion detection zones (two main zones and the creep zone). The large detection angle of 180° in the main detection range and numerous individual setting options allow scenarios such as the suppression of disturbance variables (passers by, cyclists or vehicles) to be implemented. The division into different zones allows the range of the other zones to remain unchanged.

Individual settings can be selected for your device using the Homematic IP app. For details, please refer to the Homematic IP User Guide, available for download at www.homematic-ip.com.

Installation

General notes on installation
The Homematic IP motion detector with switching actuator is equipped with a wall mounting bracket and is intended for wall mounting. After installation, the lens of the device can be tilted in steps. Choose a suitable mounting location for the motion detector in the area to be monitored. Follow the instructions in the rest of this document when mounting the sensor.
All figures are based on an installation height of approx. 2.5 m. The detection lens of the motion detector operates on multiple detection levels, each of which has 12 segments. This means that, with an aperture angle of 180°, a range of up to 20 m can be achieved. The total possible detection range is shown in Figure 3. The effectiveness of the detection procedure depends on the temperature difference between the moving object and the relevant background. When installing the device, take care that the motion detector is not installed directly on or in the vicinity of large metal objects, as this would reduce the wireless range. The detector responds best to movement across the detection range, i.e. past the motion sensor. The motion detector is least sensitive to direct movement towards or away from it. Make sure that there is a mains supply nearby for connection of the device.

Avoiding false alarms

Influencing factors Detection| Positive effect| Negative effect| Explanation
---|---|---|---
Ambient temperature| Large difference to body temperature| Small difference to body temperature| The sensors work with the difference between body temperature and ambient temperature.
Humidity| Low humidity| High humidity| Water vapour in the air absorbs infrared radiation.
Body temperature| Large difference to ambient temperature| Small difference to ambient temperature| The sensors work with the difference between body temperature and ambient temperature.
Bare skin area/ thickness of clothing| Large bare area/ thin clothing| Small bare area/ thick clothing| A greater area that emits infrared radiation increases the likelihood that it will hit the sensors.
Speed of movement| Fast| Slow| Sudden changes in temperature lead to a larger signal swing.
Detection angle| 90° to the sensor surface| 0° / 180° to the sensor surface| Moving at right angles to the sensor: high sensitivity. Moving straight towards the sensor: low sensitivity.
Distance from sensor| Low| High| The closer to the sensor, the higher the triggering sensitivity

• If necessary, release the latching points via the latching lugs (E) (e.g. using a screwdriver) and at the same time pull the device off the mounting plate.
• Place the motion detector back on the mounting plate.
• Put the device back into operation.

8 Start-up

Please read this entire section before starting to use the device. First set up your Homematic IP Access Point via the Homematic IP app to enable operation of other Homematic IP devices within your system. For further information, please refer to the Access Point operating manual. You can pair the device with either the access point or the Homematic IP Central Control Unit CCU3. Further information can be found in the Homematic IP User Guide (available for download in the download section at www.homematic-ip.com). To integrate the motion detector into your system and enable it to communicate with other Homematic IP devices, you must add the device to your Homematic IP access point first.

To add the motion detector, please proceed as follows:

• Open the Homematic IP app on your smart phone.
• Select “Add device”.
• After installation and restoration of the power supply, the device pairing mode is active for 3 minutes.

If the time has already been exceeded, you can restart pairing mode manually for another 3 minutes by pressing system button (C) briefly.

Figure 14

• Your device will automatically appear in the Homematic IP app.
• To confirm, enter the last four digits of the device number (SGTIN) in your app, or scan the QR code. The device number can be found on the sticker in the package contents or attached to the device.
• Wait until pairing is completed.
• If pairing was successful, the device LED (C) lights up green. The device is now ready for use.
•  Select the desired solution for your device.
• Allocate the device to a room and give the device a name.
• If the device LED (C) lights up red, please try again.
• After switching on the power supply, the device requires approx. 30 seconds until it is ready for operation. No motion will be detected during this time.
• After pairing has been completed, the function test of the motion detector starts (see „9 Function test“ on page 29).

Function test
The function test is only activated if the motion detector has already been added. Up to 10 minutes after pairing or after switching on the power supply (if the device has already been paired), the main lens signals detected movements in the colour corresponding to the detection zone. The lens flashes in colour each time a movement is detected. This allows the detection range and sensitivity to be checked directly at the sensor (see „10.3 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 30).

Troubleshooting

Command not confirmed
If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (C) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The reason for the failed transmission may be radio
interference (see „13 General information about radio operation“ on page 31). This may be caused by the following:

• Receiver cannot be reached.
• Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.).
• Receiver is faulty.

Duty cycle
The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation is to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range.
In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction comes to an end. Homematic IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation. During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However, repeated and radio-intensive pairing processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during start-up or initial installation of a system. If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by one long red flash of the device LED (C), and may be reflected in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

Error codes and flashing sequences

transmission is completed.
1x long green flash| Operation confirmed (pairing or restoring factory settings)| You can continue operation.
1x long red flash| Operation failed (pairing or restoring factory settings) or duty cycle limit is reached| Please try again (or see sec. see „10.2 Duty cycle“ on page 29).
Short orange flashes (every 10 seconds)| Pairing mode active (for 3 minutes)| Enter the last four digits of the device serial number to confirm ( see „9 Function

test“ on page 29).

Flashing green

(for one second each)

| Function test| Please wait until the function test has finished after 10 minutes ( see „9 Function test“ on page 29).
6x long red flashes| Device defective| Please see your app for error message or contact

your retailer.

1x orange and 1x green light (after inserting batteries)| Test display| You can continue once the test display has stopped.
Alternating long and short orange flashing| Software update (OTAU)| Wait until the update is completed.
System LED (indicates the switching status of the internal actuator)

Continuous green light| Actuator is switched on
LED off| Actuator is switched off
Main lens LED

Brief red flashing (approx. 1 s)| Visualisation of a detected movement in zone 1
Brief green flashing (approx. 1 s)| Visualisation of a detected movement in zone 2
Brief blue flashing (approx. 1 s)| Visualisation of a detected movement in zone 3
Brief yellow flashing (approx. 1 s)| Visualisation of a detected movement in zone 1 + 2
Brief magenta flashing (approx. 1 s)| Visualisation of a detected movement in zone 1 + 3
Brief turquoise flashing(approx. 1 s)| Visualisation of a detected movement in zone 2 + 3
Brief white flashing (approx. 1 s)| Visualisation of a detected movement in zone 1, 2 + 3

Visualisation of the individual zones overlaps and is not synchronised in time slots. Due to the large detection ranges and resulting time offset, the flashing sequences are mixed. For example, a yellow light can briefly change to red or green or vice versa. Individual zones can be switched off to obtain unambiguous flashing sequences, e.g. for a walking test. A detailed description can be found in section see „9 Function test“ on page 29.

Restoring factory settings

The factory settings of the device can be restored. If you do this, you will lose all your settings.

To restore the factory settings of the motion detector, please proceed as follows:

• Press and hold down the system button (C) for 4 seconds until the LED starts to flash orange fast.
• Release the system button.
• Press and hold down the system button (C) again for 4 seconds, until the LED lights up green.
• Release the system button to conclude the procedure.

The device will perform a restart. After the restart, you can re-integrate your device into your Homematic IP system.

Maintenance and cleaning
Always switch off the mains voltage before working on the device terminal compartment (switch off the circuit breaker)! Only qualified electricians (to VDE 0100) are permitted to carry out work on the 230 V mains. Clean the device using a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices. The transmission range within buildings can differ significantly from that available in open space. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity play an important role, as do on-site structural/screening conditions. eQ-3 AG, Maiburger Strasse 29, 26789 Leer, Germany hereby declares that the radio equipment type Homematic IP HmIP- SMO230, HmIP-SMO230-A is compliant with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at www.homematic- ip.com.
