7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply; incorrect wiring; sensor settings too high (twilight). | Check circuit breaker and wiring connections. Adjust twilight setting in the app. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Permanent light function activated; continuous motion in detection area; faulty sensor. | Deactivate permanent light in the app. Check for obstructions or constant movement. Contact support if sensor is faulty. |
| Light turns on without apparent motion. | Sensor sensitivity too high; environmental factors (e.g., strong wind, small animals). | Reduce sensor sensitivity or detection range in the app. Adjust sensor angle if possible. |
| Cannot connect to the app. | Bluetooth off; light not in pairing mode; app issue. | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Restart the light (power cycle). Reinstall the app if necessary. |
