Description
The Samsung Smartthings Motion Sensor is not just a motion sensor but also has a built-in temperature sensor. It is, therefore, a two-in-one device. This means it can trigger an alarm system and lights. You can also get it to trigger your air-conditioning or even your fan if the temperature reaches a certain degree.
The Samsung Smartthings motion sensor is a small-sized device that can fit into the palm of your hand. That goes a long way to show how small and compact it is.
When you flip it over, you will see the backplate. You can remove the backplate to see what is inside the motion sensor. It is like a three-part device.
You can mount the plate by screwing it to the wall or wherever you want to mount the sensor. There is a keyhole on the back of the device if you wish to fit it directly into the wall.
At the side of the device is a pull tab, which will activate the motion sensor by connecting and activating the single CR2477 cell battery.
The pairing button is also positioned at the back of the motion sensor. When you are ready to detect and pair, just place it next to the Smartthings hub and press it, and it will find it and connect without much ado.
Additionally, in the box, we have a few screws and stickers, which completes the content of the box. You can complete the setup within 15 minutes.
