Smart Security Light User Guide

Thank you for ordering from Novostella. Set-up is easy and takes only a few minutes by following the instructions.
The smart light can work with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. But the light after being installed will need to be paired with an app called ‘Smart Life’ first, and then the Smart Life app will need to be bound with either Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to activate the voice control function.
Therefore, this user guide consists of four parts. Part one and two are fun­damental set-up, while part three and four are alternatives. If you use Amazon Alexa for voice control, please follow instructions on part one, two and three. If you use Google Assistant for voice control, please skip part three, follow the instructions on part one, two and four. Part five is for general troubleshooting.

Safety Information

• This product must be installed in accordance with the applicable installation code by a person familiar with the construction and operation of the product and the hazards involved.
• Turn power OFF before installing.
• Install the height of the light fixture not lower than 5.5ft, to avoid disturbance from small animals on the ground within detection range.
• The sensor should be installed away from air conditioning, and refrigerators. stoves and others sensitive to changes in air temperature, as well as windows and other strong hot air flow places, so as not to cause wrong action.
• When the air temperature is close to a person’s body heat, the detection sensitivity will be reduced.

Installations:

For best performance, mount the light about 6.5-8fl above the ground. If the light is mounted higher than 8ft, aiming the sensor down will reduce the coverage distance.

1. Turn off the power.
2. Install the mounting strap as shown with two screws that fit your junction box.
3. Tighten the wires with wire connectors. L should be connected to Black wire, and N should be connected to the White wire.
4. After mounting the light, apply silicone sealant completely around the perimeter of the cover plate where the back of the cover plate meets the mounting surface. Silicone sealant prevents water from seeping into the junction box.

The motion sensor is less sensitive if in a radial movement. As shown below (picture 1 ). The motion sensor is more sensitive if in a lateral movement. As shown below (picture 2).
