Operation

Manual Control

The sensor has a light bulb button on its top surface. Pressing this button will manually toggle the connected lights on or off, allowing for immediate control independent of motion detection.

App Control and Settings Adjustment

Within the Lutron Caseta app, you can further customize the sensor's behavior:

• Lights & Fans to Include: Select which Caseta devices in the room the sensor will control.
• Active Hours: Define specific times when the sensor should be active (e.g., all day, only at night, or custom times).
• Auto-On Level: For dimmers, set the desired light level when the sensor automatically turns lights on.

Physical Settings Adjustment

The back of the sensor features three buttons for adjusting physical settings:

• Timeout: Adjust the time delay before lights turn off after no motion is detected (5, 15, or 30 minutes).
• Activity: Set the motion sensing sensitivity (low, medium, or high).
• Auto-On: Enable or disable the automatic turn-on function.

To change these settings, hold down the corresponding button until the LED blinks, then press the button to cycle through options. Hold again to confirm the selection when the LED turns solid.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The sensor uses one CR123A 3V battery, which has a typical life of 10 years. When the battery is low, the LED indicator on the sensor may blink, or you may receive a notification in the Lutron Caseta app. To replace the battery, remove the battery cover on the back, replace the old battery with a new CR123A 3V battery, and reattach the cover.

Cleaning

To clean the sensor, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray directly onto the device.

Troubleshooting

• Lights not turning on/off automatically: Check battery level, ensure the sensor is paired correctly in the app, verify active hours and activity settings. Ensure no obstructions are blocking the sensor's field of view.
• Sensor not responding: Replace the battery. If the issue persists, try re-pairing the sensor with the Caseta system via the app.
• False triggers: Adjust the activity sensitivity setting to a lower level. Ensure the sensor is not placed near heat sources or in direct sunlight, which can cause false detections.
• Difficulty pairing: Ensure your Caseta Smart Hub is powered on and within range. Follow the app's pairing instructions carefully, holding the button for the specified duration.
