Features
The Card Access InHome
™
Wireless
Motion Sensor works with your
Control4®system and combines the
features of a passive infrared (PIR)
motion sensor with ambient light sens-
ing detection into a single device. The
product allows wireless generation of
Control4 home automation events
based on room or area occupancy. It
integrates into Control4’s home
automation system as a standard
Motion Sensor Proxy with additional
programming variables for detected
light levels and day/night (dawn/dusk)
detection. LEDs provide indicators to
confirm you have successfully connected
the product to the Control4 system.
Additional LED feedback and diagnostics are available to test positioning of the
motion detector within a room (“walk test” mode).
With the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor you can extend home automation
control based on occupancy for locations inside or outside the home, without
the need to run control wires over long distances (or where you can’t run any
wires at all).
The InHome Wireless Motion Sensor enables home automation to adapt
based on whether a person is present, such as:
• Automated control of lights based on room occupancy
• Alerts when someone enters front walkway
• Detection of outdoor light levels for dawn/dusk events
• Automated pathway lighting
• And any other control application you can devise and safely integrate
Government policy and high energy costs are driving consumers toward more
environmentally-aware home power usage. The InHome Wireless Motion
Sensor ‘greens’ up the Control4-automated home by enabling occupancy-
based automation controls. Used in concert with additional Control4-enabled
products (wireless switches, relays, dimmers and thermostats), the motion
sensor can control HVAC, water heating and lighting systems to comply with
environmental policies, conserve resources, and save money on utilities.
The InHome Wireless Motion Sensor does this all without the wire. Or, as we
say: “Wires Not Included.”

1. Battery Installation
Install the 9V battery into the rear of the motion
sensor (see figure below). After the battery is
connected the motion sensor’s red LED (visible
through the motion sensor window) will blink for
approximately eight (8) seconds while a wire-
less connection is established with the Control4
system. The motion sensor requires a warm up
time of approximately 45 seconds before it can
reliably detect motion. After powering up the
unit, the walk test LED (red LED) is automatically
enabled for five (5) minutes, allowing the red
LED to indicate when motion is detected (See
“walk test and adjustment” below). This allows
the installer time to adjust the motion sensor
positioning and perform walk tests to verify that
motion detection is functioning as desired.
2. Add to Composer Project
To add the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor to your Composer project, select
the Search Tab, and choose ‘Motion Sensor’ in Device Type (see screenshot
below). The InHome Wireless Motion Sensor is identified to the Control4 sys-
tem in the same manner as all other Control4 devices. When prompted to
identify the unit, depress the
button inside the InHome
Wireless Motion Sensor’s battery
compartment four (4) times. The
green LED will blink twice to con-
firm the ID has been sent to the
Control4 system and the MAC
address of the device will be
added to the appropriate field. To
configure Composer Project
events based on the InHome
Wireless Motion Sensor’s states,
please refer to the Composer
documentation.
3. Operation
When motion is detected in the monitored area, the Wireless Motion Sensor
sends a ‘motion detected’ event to the Control4 system. When no motion
has been detected for the designated time period (‘Occupancy Hold Time‘) a
‘no motion’ event will be sent to the Control4 system. Using the slider on
the Properties Page in Composer, the Occupancy Hold Time may be adjusted
to values ranging from five (5) seconds to 60 minutes. Use the Occupancy
Hold Time for the length of time required for the duration of the event or for
the amount of time for a device to be controlled. For example, if you are con-
trolling a light in a particular room, set the Occupancy Hold Time for amount
of time you want the light to stay ON after NO MORE MOVEMENT is detected.
Then use the ‘No Motion’ alert event to shut off the controlled light. The
higher the Occupancy Hold Time setting, the longer the battery life of the
InHome Wireless Motion Sensor.
4. Low Battery Indication
Battery Low and Battery Critical events are generated by the Control4 system
when the battery level on the Wireless Motion Sensor drops to a certain level.
These events can be used by Composer scripts to signal the installer and/or
the homeowner that battery replacement is needed.
5. Mounting
Select a mounting location for the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor. When
choosing an appropriate location the following should be considered:
• A mounting height of six (6) to eight (8) feet is recommended.
• Reliability of ZigBee mesh network coverage
• Shielding the motion sensor from direct sunlight, if possible, for better
motion sensing reliability
• Avoiding placement of the motion sensor near heat or cold producing devices
(e.g. air conditioning or furnace vents, fans, ovens, heaters, etc.) as this may
cause false triggers
The included wall mount swivel bracket is necessary to mount the Motion
Sensor at the desired location. Once a location is selected, attach the wall
mount swivel bracket to the location using the screws and wall anchors provided,
(see diagram 1). Once the wall mount swivel bracket is mounted to the wall,
slide the back of the sensor into the wall mount swivel bracket (see diagram
2). The mounting angle can be adjusted. Please refer to Section 3 “Walk Test
and Adjustment” to determine the best mounting angle.
TIP: If mounting the unit to drywall, you may need to mark and pre-drill
two (2) 3/16-inch-mounting holes at the two screw hole locations.
Press the plastic wall anchors (included) into the drilled holes.
NOTE: Make sure the InHome Wireless Motion Sensor is positioned for
good ZigBee wireless reception by (1) ensuring it is within 150 feet of
another ZigBee device and (2) avoiding other electrical equipment that
may cause interference with the ZigBee signal (such as 2.4Ghz cordless
telephones). If in doubt of ZigBee operation at the desired mounting
location, you can use a Card Access InHome Wireless Contact Switch
as a simple ZigBee functional tester to check for adequate operation.
6. Walk Test and Adjustment
It is important to perform a Walk Test, after mounting the
Wireless Motion Sensor, in order to determine if the sensor
is properly detecting motion in the desired areas of the room
or location. The Walk Test mode will indicate whether motion
is detected by illuminating the red LED on the Wireless
Motion Sensor. The Walk Test mode will automatically be
activated for a 5-minute period after the unit is first powered up, or any time the
button in the Wireless Motion Sensor is pressed (see figure in section 2). Walk
Test is also activated via Composer when programming configuration changes
such as Sensitivity (made on the Properties page) are applied to the unit. The
unit will remain in Walk Test Mode for approximately 5 minutes after any of
these actions are executed and will exit the mode automatically.
Sensing motion and light inside and outside
the home gives you automation control that
responds to body heat and movement, or
changes in ambient light levels.
MOTION LIGHT OCCUPANCY CONTROL
Insert 9V alkaline battery
into the sensor.
The button is located inside
the battery compartment.
