FAQs
Do I need a Zigbee hub to use this sensor?
Yes, a compatible Zigbee hub (like SmartThings or Hubitat) is required for this sensor to connect to your smart home system and operate.
How far can the sensor detect motion?
The Candeo Zigbee Motion Detector can detect movement up to 6 meters (approximately 20 feet) away.
Can this sensor detect pets?
Yes, it features adjustable motion sensitivity which can help minimize false alarms caused by pets. You can fine-tune this setting via your Zigbee hub's interface.
What type of battery does it use and how long does it last?
It is powered by a single 3V CR2450 battery. Battery life typically lasts for over a year, depending on usage and network conditions.
Can I mount this sensor outdoors?
No, this sensor is designed for indoor environments only and is not weatherproof.
How do I reset the sensor to factory defaults?
To reset, typically you need to open the sensor and press and hold the pairing button for about 10-15 seconds until the LED indicator blinks rapidly or changes color, indicating a reset. Consult your hub's documentation for specific pairing button location and reset procedures.
What is the operating temperature range?
The sensor operates reliably within a temperature range of -10°C to 55°C (14°F to 131°F).
Troubleshooting
Sensor not pairing with Zigbee hub
Ensure the hub is in pairing mode and the sensor is within range. Re-insert the battery and try pairing again. Check if your hub supports Zigbee 3.0 devices. Reset the sensor by holding the pairing button for 10 seconds if necessary.
False motion alerts triggered
Adjust the motion sensitivity settings on the sensor or within your smart home app. Ensure the sensor is not pointed towards heat sources, direct sunlight, or moving objects like curtains.
Sensor offline or not reporting
Check the battery level and replace if low. Ensure the sensor is within the Zigbee network range of your hub or a repeater. Try removing and re-adding the sensor to your hub.
Detection range is too short
Ensure the sensor is mounted at an optimal height (typically 2-2.5 meters for wall mounting). Check for obstructions in the detection path and reposition if necessary. Verify the sensitivity is set appropriately.
