Motion Sensor Functionality in the Dark

Understanding the Motion Sensor's Nighttime Capabilities

The ClicSmart Light Switch Controller's motion sensor is adept at enhancing your home's automation, even in complete darkness. Thanks to its Passive Infrared (PIR) technology, the sensor reliably detects body heat and movement, triggering your connected devices without the need for ambient light.

How It Works

The sensor emits infrared rays that are sensitive to the temperature changes caused by moving people or animals. When these rays are disrupted, the sensor activates the connected device. This functionality is particularly useful for nighttime use, such as turning on lights when someone enters a room.

Benefits of Dark Operation

  • Safety: Automatically illuminate paths or areas of your home at night when movement is detected.
  • Energy Efficiency: Lights and devices only turn on when necessary, conserving energy and reducing your electricity bills.
  • Convenience: Navigate your home at night hands-free without searching for switches.

Placement Tips for Optimal Functionality

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: To ensure your motion sensor works effectively at night, place the ClicSmart Light Switch Controller away from areas where it might be exposed to direct sunlight during the day.
  • Optimal Height: Mount the ClicSmart Light Switch Controller at the recommended height (usually around 6.5 to 8 feet) to maximize its range and detection capabilities.

By understanding and utilizing the ClicSmart Light Switch Controller's motion sensor during night operation, you can enjoy a safer, more convenient, and energy-efficient home environment.
