SHELLY MOTION WIFI SENSOR
Introduction to Shelly
Shelly® is a family of innovative Devices, which allow remote control of
electric appliances through mobile phone, PC or home automation system.
Shelly® uses WiFi to connect to the devices controlling it. They can be in the
same WiFi network or they can use remote access (through the Internet).
Shelly® may work standalone, without being managed by a home automation
controller, in the local WiFi network, as well as through a cloud service,
from everywhere the User has Internet access. Shelly® has an integrated web
server, through which the User may adjust, control and monitor the Device.
Shelly® has two WiFi modes – access Point (AP) and Client mode (CM). To
operate in Client Mode, a WiFi router must be located within the range of the
Device. Shelly® devices can communicate directly with other WiFi devices
through HTTP protocol. An API can be provided by the Manufacturer. Shelly®
devices may be available for monitor and control even if the User is outside
the range of the local WiFi network, as long as the WiFi router is connected
to the Internet. The cloud function could be used, which is activated through
the web server of the Device or through the settings in the Shelly Cloud
mobile application. The User can register and access Shelly Cloud, using
either Android or iOS mobile applications, or any internet browser and the web
site: https://my.shelly.cloud/

MOTION SENSOR FEATURES AND SETTINGS
After adding the sensor to your account, you can change its settings according
to your needs. Settings can be changed both through Shelly Cloud app and
through the local web page of the device, which you can open through a
browser.
SHELLY CLOUD APP Motion status
In the Shelly Cloud App movement can be detected both on room and sensor
level.
Vibration or movement is detected.
DEVICE WEB PAGE MOTION STATUS
Opening device page by IP manually, the following statuses are available:
motion status, vibration detection, battery level, light intensity, sensor
activity status and lightning mode.
Sensor control
In this menu you can set the basic parameters for the operation of the sensor.
Illumination definitions
Shelly Motion has a built-in light sensor. It measures light intensity in Lux,
which can differ from the values measured by other devices, depending on the
measurement specifics and location of the device. You can assign three
different light modes: Dark, Twilight and Bright. Each light mode can have
custom predefined sensitivity values. By default Dark is under 100, Twilight
is between 100 and 500 and Bright is above 500.
Motion sensitivity
Allows you to adjust the sensor’s level of sensitivity. By default, the value
is 50, which allows the detection of objects over 15 kg at a distance of 5
meters. If you have a pet, setting this value will allow the sensor not to
detect it while moving. Importantly, large pets can be detected, especially if
they stand on their hind legs. You can adjust sensor sensitivity level based
on your needs.
Motion blind time
Can be set in the range of 1 to 5 minutes. Within the Blind time period,
motion detections will not be reported. Only motions detected after Blind
time, will be reported and information will be send.
Motion pulse count
Allows the sensor to send alerts only if motion is repeated. It is usually
used to avoid false positives. The default value is 1, if you have false
positives you can increase it up to 4. Motion detection operating mode Lights
control based on certain lighting conditions, The options are “In any light”,
only when it is dark, “Dusk” or “Light”. If the sensor is not in the specified
range of illumination, it will not detect movement and will not perform any
action.
Tamper alarm sensitivity
Shelly Motion has a built-in accelerometer to detect vibration and temper. If
someone is trying to divert or move it from where you placed it you will be
notified. You can adjust sensitivity level based on your convenience and
location. This may be needed if you use the sensor in a place where there may
be vibrations from vehicles or other causes.
Motion sensor
From here you can enable or disable device motion detection. When disabled,
the sensor will not send information in case of motion until you Enable it
again.
Sleep time
This feature allows you to temporarily disable the sensor to detect and send
movement information for certain period of time. After the specified time has
expired, the sensor will be reactivated. The sleep time can be terminated
manually by enabling it from the Sensor Motion menu.
Weekly scheduling Schedule timer
Shelly motion supports modes of operations based on day, time, sunrise and
sunset parameters. To select the operating mode, select the time or position
of the sun and one of the two possible options: Activate / Deactivate motion
detection. This allows you to define you to be notified in case of
unauthorized movement detection.
Internet & Security
WiFi mode – client
WiFi network settings and information, including the option to set up a fixed
IP address.
WiFi client backup
Backup network settings in case the sensor is lost or cannot be connected to
the primary WiFi network.
ATTENTION! After connecting the backup WiFi network, the sensor will
remain connected to it until disconnected or restart it.
WiFi mode – access point
By default, during first use, Shelly Motion creates a network named
shellymotion-xxxxxxxx without a password. You can change the network name and
set a password.
Restrict login
Shelly motion can be set up by opening the IP address on the Wi-Fi network. To
restrict access to its built-in Web interface, you can specify a name and
password. This is often necessary if the sensor is located in public networks
with access by many users.
SNTP server
Server from where the device synchronize time and date. MQTT and COAP settings
MQTT and COAP settings
allowing the sensor to connect directly to 3-party automation systems. Can be
enabled/disabled separately.
Cloud
Ability to deactivate or activate the connection to Shelly Cloud. This option
works independently of MQTT and CoAP
Actions – Control your other devices directly
This feature allows Shelly motion to control other devices on the local
network or the Internet (IFTTT and others) without a cloud or other automation
system. If you have a Shelly relay or a light bulb or other device that can be
controlled via the Internet, then Shelly Motion can send the command directly.
For more information about the commands you can send to control other Shelly
devices directly: ddd_communication [PDF] and https://shelly-api-
docs.shelly.cloud/ The following options for performing URL action are
possible:
- Motion detected
- Motion detected in dark
- Motion detected in twilight
- Motion detected in bright
- End of motion detected
- Tamper alarm detected
- End of tamper alarm
Each of them supports up to 5 URLs that will be executed when motion is detected, end of motion or vibration. In addition, each of the 5 action URLs can be limited in time. This allows you to set the sensor to control the light intensity (if you use a Shelly Dimmer or other device with similar capabilities) to be specific to different times of the day. You can also control any other device according to the time of day.
Settings
Led light control o turn off the light indication when motion or vibration is
detected.
Firmware update
Check for a new firmware version and update it.
ATTENTION! Do not reboot the sensor until Firmware update is finished.
Flashing Blue light followed by 1 minute no light and final Blue/Red/Green
sequence is indication of successful firmware update. Time zone and geo-
location

Battery lifetime and optimization
Shelly Motion sensor is a battery-powered device that is permanently connected
to the Wi-Fi network and the Internet. In standby mode it can reach up to 3
years of operation without recharging and in cases of active movement between
12 – 18 months. However, in order to be able to achieve the specified
operating times in it is extremely important to comply with the following
requirements:
- Mount the sensor in place with a strong enough WiFi signal. It is desirable that the RSSI be better than -70 db.
- Do not open the local page of the device unnecessarily. It is not designed to continuously exchange data to read its settings and status. In case of an event, device will immediately send the necessary information to Cloud, Local Server or execute Actions. If you have opened the local page, close it as soon as you make changes to the settings you want.
- If the device is set in a place where there is frequent movement, consider whether it is necessary to report it 24/7 or only at certain time intervals, if so, create a Weekly Schedule when to send the information about that.
- Do not place the device outdoor in direct sunlight, high humidity or the risk of water droplets falling on it. Shelly motion sensor is made for Indoor usage or in well covered places.
