4. Operation

4.1. Motion Detection and Alerts

Once set up, the iSB01 sensor continuously monitors for movement within its detection range (up to 12 meters). When motion is detected, the sensor sends a signal to the iHome cloud, which then pushes an alert notification to your paired mobile device. This ensures you are immediately informed of activity in your home.

4.2. Creating Rules and Triggers

The iHome Control app allows you to create custom rules and triggers based on motion detection. For example, you can:

• Set the motion sensor to turn on an iHome smart plug (sold separately) when motion is detected, activating connected lights or fans.
• Configure specific notification behaviors, such as receiving alerts only during certain times of the day.

Refer to the iHome Control app's help section for detailed instructions on creating and managing rules.
