Centralite 3328-C Micro Motion Sensor Home Automation
Product Overview
The 3-Series Micro Motion Sensor adds both security and advanced home automation features to your connected home. You can be notified when there’s movement in a certain area and even trigger lighting scenes, HVAC settings, and security alarms based on the detection of motion. Bringing the reliability and performance of Centralite’s existing motion sensor to a smaller and lighter form factor, the Micro Motion Sensor measures less than two inches wide and about an inch thick. The 3-Series Micro Motion Sensor can mount to a wall, corner, or placed directly on a counter or table.

Save energy by turning off lights in areas that aren’t being used.
Energy is wasted any time lights are on in a room that isn’t being used. By adding a 3-Series Micro Motion Sensor to the room, your home can automatically turn off lights when there hasn’t been activity for more than 15 or 30 minutes.
Create custom automatic flood light and entry scenes.
Install the 3-Series Micro Motion Sensor near the front door or garage to trigger “welcome” lighting scenes in the home. Upon motion in a garage, the home can automatically turn on garage, hallway, living room, and outdoor flood lights.
Use time-based motion triggers to light a path at night.
Combine the Micro Motion Sensor with time-based rules to automatically dim lights low at night. For a late-night trip to the kitchen or bathroom, the Micro Motion Sensor can trigger lights to fade up to only 20%, saving your eyes from bright, harsh light.
Special Features
Easy Mounting Options
The 3-Series Micro Motion Sensor can be installed on a wall or in a corner using included adhesive strips.
Pull-to-Pair Join Process
All 3-Series sensors feature “pull-to-pair” joining. The device ships with the battery pre-installed and all that is needed to begin the joining process is to pull out a small plastic tab from the bottom of the device. There is nothing for the user to take apart or put back together.
ZigBee Home Automation 1.2 Compatibility
The 3-Series Micro Motion Sensor is fully ZigBee HA 1.2 certified and is guaranteed to function with all open, ZigBee HA 1.2-certified hubs and devices.
Superior Range and Updatability
The Micro Motion Sensor supports over-the-air updates providing for seamless upgrades and feature additions without the need for any user interaction.
Getting Started
Step 1: Open ZigBee Network for Joining
Using your controller or hub’s interface, enable the ZigBee network for joining.
Step 2: Pull Tab from Bottom of Sensor
Pull the small plastic tab out from the bottom of the sensor and it will immediately begin searching for a network to join.
Step 3: Finish Joining at Hub (optional)
Some hubs and controllers require additional steps such as naming or categorizing the device.
Troubleshooting
Step 1: Remove and Replace Battery from Device Open the battery tray on the bottom of the device. Remove battery and replace with a new CR-2450 battery. Reassemble and test operation.
Step 2: Factory Reset and Rejoin
Remove battery. Insert a paper clip into the reset hole on the side of the device. While holding down the reset button, reinsert battery to factory reset the device. Repeat the “Getting Started” steps to rejoin the ZigBee network.
Compatibility
The 3-Series Micro Motion Sensor features out-of-the-box compatibility with any ZigBee HA 1.2-certified hub, controller, bridge, or platform.

FAQs
Where should you not place a Centralite 3328-C motion sensor?
Again, motion sensors use their infrared beams to detect high temperatures, so it’s a good idea to keep them out of non-climate-controlled areas like garages, attics, patios, and sunrooms where it could get hot.
How long do Centralite 3328-C motion detectors stay activated?
Long Duration Settings – In most circumstances, the time that your motion detector light is on once it is triggered should not exceed 20 to 30 seconds. But you may change the parameters to have it run for longer. For instance, a lot of lights have settings that range from a couple of seconds to an hour or more.
Does a Centralite 3328-C motion sensor work without power?
Additionally, autonomous from your home’s electrical supply is a wireless motion sensor alarm. Instead, it is powered by batteries. This means that a wireless motion sensor alarm continues to work even during blackouts and power shortages.
Do Centralite 3328-C motion detectors work at night?
Motion sensors do indeed function in the dark. It makes no difference how bright or dark it is around when a motion sensor is trying to find movement. This holds true regardless of whether the motion sensor uses passive infrared (PIR) technology or a dual-tech system that includes microwave detection.
Can Centralite 3328-C motion sensor detect distance?
The electronics analyse alterations in the optical, microwave, or acoustic field nearby using one of several ways. The majority of inexpensive motion detectors have a range of roughly 15 feet (4.6 m).
Do Centralite 3328-C motion sensors work without wifi?
Wireless motion sensors can connect to other components of your home security system via cellular or Wi-Fi networks. Landlines or ethernet cables in your home are typically used by wired sensors to function.
Does temperature affect Centralite 3328-C motion sensors?
Given that motion detector sensitivity is crucial to the overall performance of the homeowner’s security system, that can also include motion detector sensitivity. Some of these detectors are so sensitive that even slight temperature fluctuations, such an excessive amount of heat, might activate them.
Can Centralite 3328-C motion sensors be hacked?
According to Consumer Reports, some of them are vulnerable to “jamming,” which can render them useless in a matter of seconds and put you and your family in danger. The wireless signal of a door sensor, window sensor, or motion sensor in a security system is jammed when a burglar or hacker does it.
What is the life of a Centralite 3328-C motion sensor?
The lifetime of the LED inside the LED with Motion Sensor (Smartsense) bulb is 25,000 hours. That’s more than 22 years if consumption is 3 hours each day on average. It has a greater than 15,000 on/off cycle possibilities.
What are the disadvantages of Centralite 3328-C motion detectors?
The biggest problem with heat sensors is that they respond to any changes in temperature, so if they are placed close to a heater or air conditioner, they may also experience erroneous triggers.
How do I know if my Centralite 3328-C motion sensor is working?
When you walk in front of your motion sensor, the home button on your panel will blink yellow. Every time a motion signal is sent, this will happen. By doing so, you can test the sensor’s ability to detect movement and learn more about its range.
Are Centralite 3328-C motion sensors always on?
When a person, a car, or other object passes by, motion detector lights turn on. Many of them are so delicate that even tiny animals can set them off. They can become less functional or stop working altogether with time.
Can you add Centralite 3328-C motion sensor to any light?
Don’t worry if the lights you bought lack an integrated motion sensor. Motion can be added to already-installed outdoor lighting. It’s so easy to do that you can even add motion sensing without doing a single bit of wiring.
Do Centralite 3328-C motion sensors work during the day?
Contrary to popular belief, motion sensor lights are operational during the day as well (as long as they are on). Why does this matter? Even in broad daylight, if your light is on, it will automatically turn on when it detects motion.
How sensitive is a Centralite 3328-C motion detector?
As a result, the sensors’ typical range of sensitivity is 8 to 12 micrometers. The gadgets themselves are straightforward electronic parts akin to a photosensor. A signal can be detected and amplified from the bumped electrons that the infrared light causes to leave a substrate.
