Setup Guide
Step 1: Insert Battery
Insert battery as shown. [Illustration of battery insertion into the sensor]
Step 2a: Motion Sensor Setup Using a Smartphone or Tablet (Bridge required, sold separately)
If you are using the load control (dimmers / switches / fan controls) and sensor with the Lutron Smart Bridge, follow the instructions below.
1. Download and launch the Lutron app
Search for "Lutron Caséta" on the App Store or Google Play. Visit www.casetawireless.com/lutronapp. [App Store Icon] [Google Play Icon]
2. Configure your device
Click the [Add Device Icon] and choose Add Device. Use the Lutron app to complete all the remaining steps. The Lutron app will walk you through setting up your devices.
Step 2b: Motion Sensor Pairing without Using a Smartphone or Tablet (Bridge not required)
Pairing the sensor to a Caséta load control device (dimmer / switches / fan control).
1. Press and hold "OFF" button on the load control
Hold for 6 seconds until LEDs start blinking.
2. Press and hold button on the sensor
Hold for 6 seconds until load control and sensor LEDs flash rapidly. [Test Button Icon]

Step 3: Sensor Placement and Coverage
Before mounting the sensor, please note the following:
- If you cannot see the sensor, it cannot see you.
- The sensor cannot see through glass.
- The sensor should be mounted at eye level. Recommended placement 6 to 8 ft (1.8 to 2.4 m).
- DO NOT place the sensor within 4 ft (1.2 m) of moving air currents (i.e.: HVAC vents), heat sources (i.e.: light bulbs, or microwave / standard ovens), or within 6 in (15 cm) of other RF devices.
- If there is line of sight from the sensor to the paired devices (no obstructions), sensor can be located within 60 ft (18.3 m). Otherwise, sensor must be within 30 ft (9.1 m).
- Whenever possible, avoid placing the sensor in a location where it has a broad view outside the intended space.

Sensor Coverage
- Minor Motion Coverage: (small movement, i.e., turning a page) 15 ft x 2 ft x 35 ft = 1050 ft² (97.5 m²)
- Major Motion Coverage: (large movement, i.e., walking) 20 ft x 2 ft x 45 ft = 1800 ft² (167.2 m²)

Step 4: Temporary Mounting
To test sensor coverage, a 3M™ Command™ adhesive strip is provided for temporarily mounting the sensor. The strip is not reusable and should not be used for permanently mounting the sensor.
[Illustration of temporary mounting using adhesive strip]
Step 5: Testing Sensor Coverage
1. Enter Test Mode
Press and release the "Test" [Test Button Icon] on the top of the sensor. The lens will glow briefly, indicating the test mode has been entered.
2. Walk Test
With the sensor temporarily mounted in the intended location, walk around the space while observing the lens. If the lens glows [Light Bulb Icon], motion is detected. If you are not satisfied with the sensor's performance, relocate the sensor and repeat the test.
3. Exit Test Mode
Press and release the "Test" [Test Button Icon] again to exit test mode.
Step 6: Testing Wireless Communication
Press and release the [Test Button Icon] to toggle the lights on and off, while the sensor is in its intended mounting location. If the lights do not respond properly, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Step 7: Removing Temporary Mounting Strip
Pull down very slowly. DO NOT pull at an angle. [Arrow Down Icon]
Step 8: Permanent Mounting
The sensor is designed to be free-standing or for installation on drywall or plaster surfaces.
Flat Wall-Mount
The flat wall-mount bracket is designed to mount flat against a wall. Use the provided screws and drywall anchors.
1. Mark wall
2. Drill holes (5 mm / 3/16 in)
3. Push anchors into wall and mount bracket
[Illustration of flat wall mount bracket installation]
Corner-Mount
The corner-mount bracket can be used to mount in a corner or angled on a wall away from a corner.
- Mounting directly in a corner: Use the mounting bracket side "A" and the provided screws.
- Mounting angled on wall away from corner: Use the mounting bracket side "B". Use provided screws and drywall anchors.

Step 9: Advanced Sensor Features
The sensor has three adjustable advanced set-up modes. For most installations, the default settings will provide the best performance. If you determine the default settings require adjustment, refer to the back of the sensor. For additional information, visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures
Timeout (Délai d'expiration)
The sensor will turn off if no motion occurs for the duration of the timeout period. The available timeout settings are: 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes. (Default: 15 minutes)
Activity (Activité)
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted based on the expected level of activity within the room. There are three available activity settings: Low Activity, Medium Activity, and High Activity. (Default: Low Activity)
Auto-On (Activation automatique)
(PD-OSENS model only) When Enabled, lights will turn on automatically when the room is entered and turn off when vacant. When Disabled, lights will need to be manually turned on but will turn off automatically when the room becomes vacant. (Default: Enabled)
Recommendation: For applications in bedrooms or when pets are in the space, it's suggested to change Auto-On setting to Disabled.
Troubleshooting
Symptom | Solution |
---|---|
Lights do not turn ON when pressing the button. | Verify that the load control device is installed properly AND turned ON at the breaker. Verify that the sensor was successfully paired with the correct load control. |
Lights do not turn ON when space is occupied. | Ensure that the sensor is within range. 30 ft (9.1 m) with obstructions, 60 ft (18.3 m) without. Make sure that the battery has been installed correctly (Refer to Step 1). Check if the light bulb is blown out. While in the final mounted position, ensure that the wireless communication is working properly by pressing the button on the sensor. |
Lights turn OFF while space is occupied. | If the lights were turned off manually, verify that the room has been unoccupied for the duration of the sensor timeout period. (Press the button on the sensor, if lights come on, this was the issue and sensor is operating correctly). |
Lights stay ON after space is vacated. | Change the activity setting of the sensor to Medium or Low Activity. Refer to the back of the sensor or visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures |
Lights won't turn ON automatically after I manually turn them OFF. | Ensure that the intended motion is occurring within the coverage area (Refer to Step 3). (Occupancy Versions Only) Verify that the Auto-On setting of the sensor is set to "Enabled". Refer to the back of the sensor or visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures |
Behavior of lights does not match sensor settings. | Change the timeout setting to a longer timeout. Refer to the back of the sensor or visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures |
Sensor lens does not glow in response to motion during sensor coverage testing. | Check that the view of the sensor is not obstructed (Refer to Step 3). Change the activity setting of the sensor to Medium or Low Activity. Refer to the back of the sensor or visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures |
Lens does not stop glowing during sensor coverage testing even when there is no motion. | Verify that the room has been unoccupied for the duration of the sensor's timeout period. Check that the sensor is not mounted within 4 ft (1.2 m) of moving air currents (i.e.: HVAC vents), heat sources (i.e.: light bulbs, or microwave / standard ovens), or within 6 in (15 cm) of other RF devices. Change the activity setting of the sensor to Medium or High Activity. Refer to the back of the sensor or visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures |
Sensor lens flashes and lights do not turn ON when space is occupied. | Pet movement may be detected by the sensor and signal that the space is occupied. Make sure that the battery has been installed correctly (Refer to Step 1). The room must be vacant for the duration of the sensor's timeout period. After this time, if the room becomes occupied, the sensor will turn ON the lights. Check sensor settings. Refer to the back of the sensor or visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures Check that all of the sensors paired to the same load control device are using the same settings. Refer to the back of the sensor or visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures Ensure all items in Step 3 have been followed. For additional details, visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorcoverage Make sure that the battery has been installed correctly (Refer to Step 1). Check that the sensor is not mounted within 4 ft (1.2 m) of moving air currents (i.e.: HVAC vents), heat sources (i.e.: light bulbs, or microwave / standard ovens), or within 6 in (15 cm) of other RF devices. Verify that the sensor is not in test mode (Refer to Step 5). Visit www.casetawireless.com/sensorfeatures Replace the battery (Refer to Step 1). |
