User Manual

Applicable to version 1.00.27 and above

Product Description

The Multi-Function Smart Presence Sensor R3 integrates a 60 GHz mmWave human presence sensor, an RGB night light, an illuminance (lux) sensor, and a TVOC air quality sensor. The device is designed for indoor use in smart home and commercial environments, supporting presence detection, environmental data reporting, and automation-based control. It is powered via USB-C, providing a stable power supply for continuous operation.

Specifications

Button Functions

LED Status

● Basic LED Operation Status

● Sensitivity Level

● TVOC Measurement & LED Status

1. Before Network Configuration
Before the device is successfully added to the network, the night light and presence sensor operate via offline behaviors:
When presence is detected, the night light will turn on automati-cally, and the light color reflects the current TVOC measurement value, indicating air quality.
When no presence is detected, the night light will remain off.

Note: When the sensitivity level light is active, triggering the Presence Sensor will only activate the indicator light after the gear light effect ends.

2. After Network Configuration
After the device is successfully configured and connected to the network, the following behavior applies:
When the TVOC level exceeds 6000 ppb, regardless of the LED’s state, the red LED will keep flashing continuously. When the TVOC level is 6000 ppb or below, the red LED will stop flashing, and the lighting behavior will be set as the default color or controlled through the configured smart home automation system.

Note:
After the network configuration successfully, detected and unde-tected state does not trigger the light ON/OFF. You can control the light’s ON/OFF state via automation. When displaying the light corresponding to the sensitivity level, the light will be interrupted if you perform an on/off operation from the smart home platform or app.

Setup

1. Use a USB-C-A data cable to power on the device.
2. Press and hold the Reset button for more than 5 seconds until the red light stays on. Release the button, and the device will enter pairing mode. The sensitivity level defaults to 3, with a faint blue light
   Note: If the device is not successfully paired within 3 minutes, it will automatically exit pairing mode. To enter pairing mode again, repeat Step 2 to reset the device: press and hold the Down button for more than 5 seconds until the indicator turns red, then release. The device will reset and re-enter pairing mode.
3. Follow the instructions on the corresponding platform to add the device.

Placement Recommendations

For optimal detection performance, please observe the following guidelines:

• Avoid installing the device behind metal objects or thick walls, as these may affect radar performance.
• Keep the sensor away from strong electromagnetic interference sources.
• Ensure the detection area is not obstructed by large furniture or objects.
• When installing multiple radar sensors, avoid positioning their detection surfaces directly facing each other.
