2.2 Requirements

The SNZB-06P Zigbee Smart Motion Detector requires a Zigbee Hub for operation. Compatible hubs include:

• SONOFF NSPanel Pro
• SONOFF iHost
• SONOFF ZB Bridge Pro
• SONOFF ZBDongle-E
• Echo Plus 2nd Gen
• Other Zigbee 3.0 protocol compatible hubs

2.3 Installation Steps

1. Power On: Connect the SNZB-06P to a 5V DC power source using the provided Type-C cable. The device will power on automatically.
2. Pairing Mode: The device will automatically enter pairing mode when first powered on. If not, press and hold the button on the device for 5 seconds until the indicator light flashes.
3. Add to Zigbee Hub: Open your Zigbee hub's application (e.g., eWeLink App for SONOFF hubs, SmartThings, Home Assistant). Follow the app's instructions to add a new Zigbee device. The sensor should be discovered and paired.
4. Mounting: Choose a suitable location for the sensor. The magnetic base allows for flexible positioning on metallic surfaces. For non-metallic surfaces, use the provided 3M adhesive tape or screws for secure mounting. Consider placing it on a ceiling or wall for optimal coverage.

Important Note: Avoid placing the sensor near large metal objects or strong Wi-Fi signals (especially 5GHz) that might interfere with its 5.8GHz microwave radar. Optimal placement ensures accurate detection.

3. Operation and Features

3.1 Presence Detection

The SNZB-06P utilizes 5.8GHz microwave radar to detect both movement and stationary human presence. This allows for more accurate occupancy detection compared to traditional motion sensors that only detect movement.

The sensor can automatically turn on lights when you enter a room and keep them on as long as presence is detected, turning them off when the room is empty.

3.2 Light Sensing

Equipped with a built-in light detector, the SNZB-06P can differentiate between day and night. This feature ensures that lights are only activated when presence is detected in dark conditions, contributing to energy savings.

3.3 Customizable Detection Duration and Sensitivity

Through the connected Zigbee hub's application, you can adjust the detection duration (how long the sensor reports presence after detection) and sensitivity levels (low, medium, high) to suit your specific needs and environment.

3.4 Local Smart Scene Linkage

The SNZB-06P supports local smart scene linkage with other Zigbee devices. This means that automated actions (e.g., turning on lights, opening curtains) can still be executed even if your internet connection is temporarily unavailable, ensuring reliable home automation.

3.5 Multi-Platform Support

The sensor is compatible with various smart home platforms, expanding its integration possibilities:

• Amazon Alexa
• Google Home
• SmartThings
• IFTTT
• Home Assistant (via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT)

4. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the sensor's surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the device.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check your Zigbee hub's application for available firmware updates for the SNZB-06P. Keeping the firmware updated ensures optimal performance and access to new features or bug fixes.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the sensor is kept within its specified operating temperature range (-10°C to 60°C) and humidity (0-90% RH, non-condensing) to prevent damage and ensure accurate readings.
