Device Installation
For installation, third-party platform usage, and scene configuration, scan the QR code to access video tutorials.
- Unfold the bracket on the back and rotate it 90 degrees to the left.
- Insert the Type-C power cable.
- If wall installation is required, insert the power cord into the bottom lead hole and secure the bracket in place.
- If angle adjustment is needed, secure the power cable in the slot at the rear end of the stand, guiding the charging cable in the desired direction.
- Choose a side-mounting height between 1.2-1.8m above the ground. Adjust the angle so that the sensor directly faces the chest area where a person typically sits or remains stationary for extended periods. Note: The core function of the presence sensor detects breathing movements and may not be as sensitive to the back, potentially leading to false triggers or missed Natartinne
- Peel off the protective film from one side of the adhesive tape and stick it to the clean back of the stand.
- Peel off the protective film from the adhesive on the opposite side. Affix the sensor’s base securely to the desired location, applying even pressure for 60 seconds to ensure a strong bond. When selecting an appropriate position on the wall, ensure that the installation surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Avoid surfaces with paint or other coatings that might cause the unit to detach over time.
Note
- If accuracy issues persist despite confirming no interference, download the Meross app and follow the guided setup process for adding. The Meross platform features an advanced “Space Learning” function, enabling optimal space customization based on real-world testing conditions.
- Within the detection range, the sensor may mistakenly interpret swaying greenery, moving metal, fluttering curtains, clothing, running air conditioners, fans, and other interfering factors as the presence of a person. When installed in locations with vibrations or shaking, it may also lead to false detections. It is recommended to use the sensor cautiously in such areas.
- If there is interference in the upper or lower part of the specified space, such as hanging fans or robot vacuum, it is recommended to install a pet-proof shield before activating the Biological Detection Only MAdA
- Avoid placing items such as green plants, metal, or thick glass between the human body and the sensor, as they may obstruct the radar frequency band.
- To accurately identify targets lying down but not within the detection range, position and angle adjustments are necessary. For detecting the presence of a person in a lying position, it is recommended to install the radar on the wall at the bedside or head of the bed at a downward slant. Installation on the wall at the foot of the bed is not recommended.
Space Learning
- Space Learning enhances accuracy by automatically detecting environmental interferences, adjusting trigger baselines to reduce disruptions caused by reflections. Before initiating Space Learning, position the sensor to directly face the target area. Ensure there are no air conditioners, fans, people, or pets in the detection area.
- After enabling Space Learning in the Meross app (or double-tapping the device’s rear button), leave the monitored area within 20 seconds. The indicator light will remain amber for 2 minutes during Space Learning and will turn off once the process is complete.
- With Space Learning completed, the sensor makes more precise detections, providing a user experience that better fits the current environment.
Detection Range and Identification Mode instructions
- Biological Detection Only mode (default on, default distance 6m) : The motion sensor and millimeter-wave sensor work together to determine that only when there is biological movement, the execution of the human scene will be triggered. This significantly reduces false alarms caused by plant swaying or robot vacuum.
- Security mode (needs to be manually enabled in the app settings, default distance 12m) : Either the motion sensor or the millimeter-wave sensor triggering will report human presence. It can be triggered by any situation in the space, but the likelihood of false alarms will significantly increase.
Identify presence for 0-6 meters (default setting).
Identify motion for 6-12 meters (needs to be manually set in the Meross app).
Pet-proof Settings
The pet-proof shield can effectively adjust the detection range of the motion
sensor. For example, after installing the pet-proof shield on the left side as
shown below it is recommended to install it at a height of 1.2m) and enabling
Biological Detection Only mode. This will allow detection of movements only
above the height of the sensor’s range, significantly reducing false triggers
caused by pet movements and robotic vacuum cleaners below this height. The
pet-proof shield will block half of the motion sensor’s recognition range. You
can adjust it up and down based on the actual situation, and movements of
living beings within the obstructed area will not be detected.
After peeling off the double-sided adhesive from the pet-proof shield, stick it onto the lens as needed.
Scene Function Description and Recommended Linked Scenes
-
Area Occupied
After detecting the presence of a person within the region, detection within the space continues. Activities such as reading a book or using a cell phone in the study within the Presence Sensor’s range are more accurately detected. -
Area Occupied with Continuous Presence
The duration can be configured by the user. It is used for handling events of prolonged presence or warnings for staying in the range for an extended period, such as reminders for prolonged sitting in a seating area, activating the exhaust fan in the restroom after a specified time, or issuing alerts for extended stays in potentially dangerous areas. If the Presence Sensors in unoccupied space does not determine unoccupied, it is recommended that the space be checked for continuously operating sources of interference. -
Area Unoccupied
When no person is detected in the region for a continuous period, it is determined that the current area is unoccupied. This can trigger scenes like turning off lights or fans. -
Area Unoccupied with Continuous
Absence The duration is user-configurable. It is used for configuring automation after people leave the space, allowing users to set Scene, such as automatically turning off air conditioning in an office area after a certain time of absence to save energy. -
Sensitivity Recommendations
If there are no interferences in the detection area, such as fans or pets, consider enabling “Security” mode to exclusively use radar for detecting presence and absence, which reduces detection delay and increases sensitivity. The detection range can be adjusted between 1 and 12 meters in Device SettingsDetection range calibration, allowing you to customize it according to your specific needs. Note that movements outside your set detection range will not be detected.

FAQ
-
The Presence Sensor Recognition Error: Everyone has left the detection range, but the sensor still indicates the presence of someone.
To ensure accurate detection of an unoccupied state, a 15-second detection delay is necessary after no presence is detected. Movement, vibrations, or metal reflections in the room may affect the radar’s precision. Place appliances like fans and air purifiers away from the detection area. -
Which apps can control this Matter Smart Presence Sensor?
Any app or platform that supports the Matter protocol can control the device. The matter is created to enable interoperability among platforms. However, we recommend that you also control and manage with the Meross app for better guidance and richer functionality. -
The Presence Sensor Recognition Failure: There are people present within the detection range, but the sensor shows absence.
Please ensure that the sensor is positioned directly facing the human body. If the human body is out of the radar’s effective field of view or if there is a thick covering (such as thick clothes or a thick blanket) or if the human body is facing backward the sensor, the radar may not be able to effectively detect the person’s breathing status. Please try increasing the Absence Confirmation Time or adjusting the placement of the sensor. For testing purposes, please follow the procedure in the “Space Learning” section of the device’s settings page in the Meross app to adjust it for optimal results. -
Can the Presence Sensor recognize multiple individuals?
The Presence Sensor cannot identify multiple individuals moving and existing simultaneously. It can only recognize the state of the fastest-moving object currently present in the space. -
Which applications can manage the Meross presence sensor?
Any application or platform that supports the Matter protocol can manage this device. Matter was created to achieve interoperability among platforms. We also recommend that you manage the sensor with the Meross app to get better guidance and richer functionality. -
