Motion Sensor Modes:
- DIM Mode: Light is at adjustable 15%-100% brightness at night. Upon detecting motion, it illuminates to 100% brightness, then returns to the adjustable dim level after motion ceases. (Indicated by a red light on the sensor).
- ECO Mode: Light remains off at night. Activates to 100% brightness when motion is sensed, then turns off after motion ceases. (Indicated by a green light on the sensor).
- D2D Mode (Dusk to Dawn): Light turns on at 100% brightness at dusk and automatically turns off at dawn. (Indicated by a blue light on the sensor).
- Override Mode: Keeps the light at 100% brightness for approximately 8 hours, then turns off at dawn and reverts to the last selected mode. To activate, turn the light off and on within 2 seconds.

|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on | No power, faulty bulb, incorrect wiring, sensor blocked. | Check circuit breaker/fuse. Replace bulb. Verify wiring connections. Ensure sensor is clear of obstructions. |
| Light stays on constantly | Sensor in Override mode, continuous motion detected, sensor malfunction. | Check mode setting. Ensure no constant motion in sensor range. Contact support if issue persists. |
| Light flickers | Non-dimmable bulb used, loose connection, incompatible bulb. | Use only dimmable LED bulbs. Check for loose wiring connections. |
| Motion sensor not detecting | Sensor range too low, sensor blocked, incorrect mode. | Adjust sensor range. Clear obstructions. Ensure not in D2D mode if motion detection is desired. |
