jesh Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Got 3 of them today and installed one already. It works very nice and uses the 'sense motion' and 'stops sensing motion' in a nice way.The motion sensor itself has some nice features, including light level detection + the driver is nice too: it detects current light levels, battery levels, and allows some nice programming if used correctly.Are their other products drivers just as nice, anyone know?~J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumult Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 can someone give some examples of what an installer can do with these sensors?thanks,tum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvs Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 jesh,I have the contact switch and contact relay and they work great. You have full control over setting up how the relay operates and the status information is all there as well, battery level for the contact switch etc. I use the contact switch on a pantry door that turns the light on when the door opens and off when it closes. It never misses a beat and battery consumption is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesh Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 can someone give some examples of what an installer can do with these sensors?thanks,tumTum these are motion sensors with a light level sensor in them. You can do everything from triggering a light to turn on when you walk into the room, to the music turning on when you are the room, to basically any event that can be triggered in control4. There is a sensitivity control on them too, so if you wanted it to be used in a room where a high sensitivity is required you can do that too. It can be programmed not only 'if it's not time or day time', but if the light level the SENSOR is reaching (important here), then turn the lights on to a specified percentage.It's important to know these are NOT rated to get wet, they are only splash rated.If you don't need anything to be based off motion then you really don't need these - I suppose you could use them with the light reading, but I'm not sure if that's be necessary, you could always use the time of day in control4.~J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are only 2 relays on the CardAccess Device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
