Printed Documentation Your Motion Sensor Your Motion Sensor Your iControl Motion sensor detects movement within a specific area by sensing the infrared energy emitted from a body as it moves across the sensor’s field of view. When motion is detected, the sensor transmits an alarm signal to your iControl box, which in turn communicates with the iControl servers, and then the alarm appears in your personal web portal.
Managing Your iControl Devices x Install it only in an indoor space. x The sensor can monitor an area approximately 35 feet long by 40 feet wide or about 1200 square feet. x Mount the sensor so it ‘sees’ the area to be monitored. It is best to mount it approximately 7.5 feet high on a wall. x Mount the sensor on a rigid, interior wall or rigid, insulated outside wall, facing in. Place the sensor within 100 feet of your iControl box.
Printed Documentation To mount your Motion sensor, you will need the screws that come with the sensor, a pencil, a ruler, a drill, and a screwdriver. The following diagrams show the sequence of the installation process: Press Down Here to detach back. Optional screw. Unscrew if present. Mount Motion sensor back to wall with 3/4” long screw and wall anchors. Snap the sensor body onto back. For corner mount, drill here. For wall mount, drill here.

Automations Automations Automations link a change in one device with the action of another device. For example, you may program an iControl camera to take a picture if a Door/Window sensor detects an open door. You can create any number of automations and specify in which modes they will operate. Sample Automations Window Here is a sample Automations window taken from an iControl System that has automations for a Motion sensor, a Door/Window sensor, and a Keychain Remote.
Printed Documentation x Automate one device to cause another to take an action. Here, when a Motion sensor detects a family room is occupied, we want the Lamp module to turn on a light. When a Motion sensor senses a room is occupied, a Lamp module turns a light on. x Have automations occur in selected modes. When someone opens the door at the tree nursery while the business is open or closed, we want a record of who came in.
Common Tasks An automation consists of a change in one device (called a ‘trigger’) and the resulting action of another device. Devices such as Door/Window sensors, Keychain Remotes, and Motion sensors trigger when a door is opened, a button on a Keychain Remote is pressed, or a room is occupied. These devices can cause actions such as a camera taking a picture or a Lamp module turning lights on or off.
Printed Documentation picture of who comes through the door. If you have multiple devices, you can select which camera, thermostat, or lamp module will respond. Not all devices of a particular type need to act in the same manner. Adding and Editing Automations To add or edit a new automation (e.g., turning on the lights when the Motion sensor detects that an area such as a hallway, lobby, or kitchen is occupied), follow these steps: 1. Click on the Automations tab. 2.
Common Tasks The following table lists the triggers and actions associated with specific iControl devices. ‘NA’ means that there is not a trigger or action associated with that device. Triggers and actions for a device will appear in the Trigger and Action drop-downs of the New Automation window if that device was added to your system.
Printed Documentation 4. Choose the action to be taken by clicking on the down arrow. (In our example, ‘Turn Lamp Module On’ was chosen so that the lights will come on when the Motion sensor sees that the area is occupied.) Click on this down arrow. Choose ‘Turn Lamp Module On’. Note: If you have multiple devices of the same type, each device will be shown in the list to let you choose from among them. 5. Under Modes, check each mode in which you want the picture to be taken (e.g., all modes).
Common Tasks 6. Click on the ‘Save’ button to save your automation.
Common Tasks Commonly Used Terms The following briefly defines the terms commonly used in the iControl System: x Alarms: An alarm is displayed in your Alarms window of your Summary page when the device changes state such as when a Motion sensor detects that a room Is occupied or unoccupied. x Automations: Automations link a change in one device with the action of another device such as when a Door/Window sensor detects a door open, a camera takes a picture.
