Motion Sensor - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device Motion Sensor, manufactured by Wink Inc. with the thing type UID of wink_motionsensor_00_000
.
The device is in the category of Motion Detector, defining Motion sensors/detectors.
The Motion Sensor supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is unable to participate in the routing of data from other devices.
The Motion Sensor does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. Refer to the Wakeup Information section below for further information.
Magnetically mounted motion sensor

The Motion Sensor does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. The wakeup period can be configured in the user interface - it is advisable not to make this too short as it will impact battery life - a reasonable compromise is 1 hour.
The wakeup period does not impact the devices ability to report events or sensor data. The device can be manually woken with a button press on the device as described below - note that triggering a device to send an event is not the same as a wakeup notification, and this will not allow the controller to communicate with the device.
Twist back of unit, then lift off. (Will be difficult due to strong mounting magnet.) Push connect button three times and light will blink blue five times.

Motion Sensitivity This parameter sets the sensitivity of the Motion Detector. It is a unitless parameter ranging in values from 8 up to 255, with 8 being the highest sensitivity level and 255 being the lowest.After physical installation, make sure the farthest part of the coverage area is still visible to the Motion Detector by adjusting this parameter Values in the range 8 to 255 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 12
.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_1_1
and is of type INTEGER
.
Motion Cleared Time Delay This parameters sets (in seconds) the amount of time after a motion event before the Motion Detector reports no activity to the main controller (see Notification and Binary Sensor command classes for more information.) This also sets the amount of time before a BASIC_SET (00) command is sent to Association Group 2 to turn off any activated devices. This value must be higher than the value of Parameter 6, and if this parameter is reset to default settings, Parameter 6 will also be reset. Values in the range 5 to 600 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 30
.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_2_2
and is of type INTEGER
.
Basic Set Level This parameter sets the value sent by the BASIC_SET command to Association Group 2 Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 255
.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_3_1
and is of type INTEGER
.
Enable/Disable Motion Detection This setting enables or disables motion detection. The following option values may be configured -:
Value | Description |
---|---|
0 | Motion Detection Disabled |
1 | Motion Detection Enabled |
The manufacturer defined default value is 1
(Motion Detection Enabled).
This parameter has the configuration ID config_4_1_wo
and is of type INTEGER
.
This is a write only parameter.
Group 2 Ambient Light Threshold If Parameter 8 is enabled, this setting sets the light level (in lux) below which the Motion Detector will send BASIC_SET commands to Association Group 2 when motion is detected. Values in the range 5 to 1000 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 100
.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_5_2
and is of type INTEGER
.
Retrigger Interval After each motion event, the Motion Detector is disabled for the amount of time (in seconds) set by this parameter before it can send out another Motion Detected Notification Report/Binary Sensor Report.This value must be lower than the value of Parameter 2, and if this parameter is reset to default settings, Parameter 2 will also be reset.
Essentially, when motion is detected the sensor will send a motion event every X seconds to the controller, as controlled by this parameter. (When motion is not detected, it fires off one and is done.) Values in the range 1 to 8 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 8
.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_6_1
and is of type INTEGER
.
Light Sensing Interval This parameter sets the amount of time (in seconds) between each successive ambient light level reading that is sent. This value must be less than the Wakeup Interval Time (which is 43,200 seconds or 12 hours by default). This defaults to 180. Values in the range 60 to 3600 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 180
.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_7_2
and is of type INTEGER
.
Enable/Disable Group 2 Ambient Light Threshold If this parameter is enabled, the Motion Detector will only send Basic Set commands to Associon Group 2 if the ambient light level is below the value set in Parameter 05. For more information, see Group 2 on page 14. The following option values may be configured -:
Value | Description |

The manufacturer defined default value is 100
.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_9_1
and is of type INTEGER
.
LED enable/disable If this parameter is enabled, the LED INDICATOR will flash everytime there motion is detected.If this is disabled, the LED INDICATOR will not flash to indicate motion events. The following option values may be configured -:

This parameter has the configuration ID config_10_1
and is of type INTEGER
.
The wakeup interval sets the period at which the device will listen for messages from the controller. This is required for battery devices that sleep most of the time in order to conserve battery life. The device will wake up at this interval and send a message to the controller to tell it that it can accept messages - after a few seconds, it will go back to sleep if there is no further communications.
This setting is defined in seconds. It is advisable not to set this interval too short or it could impact battery life. A period of 1 hour (3600 seconds) is suitable in most instances.
Note that this setting does not affect the devices ability to send sensor data, or notification events.
This parameter has the configuration ID wakeup_interval
and is of type INTEGER
.
When sleeping devices wake up, they send a notification to a listening device. Normally, this device is the network controller, and normally the controller will set this automatically to its own address. In the event that the network contains multiple controllers, it may be necessary to configure this to a node that is not the main controller. This is an advanced setting and should not be changed without a full understanding of the impact.
This parameter has the configuration ID wakeup_node
and is of type INTEGER
.
Association groups allow the device to send unsolicited reports to the controller, or other devices in the network. Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic.
The Motion Sensor supports 4 association groups.
The Lifeline association group reports device status to a hub and is not designed to control other devices directly. When using the Lineline group with a hub, in most cases, only the lifeline group will need to be configured and normally the hub will perform this automatically during the device initialisation. Group 1 is the Lifeline group, which can hold five devices.The Motion Detector sends this group a Notification Report and Binary Sensor Report whenever motion is detected and when it stops.It also sends a Multilevel Sensor Report incrementally based on time (see Param 7,) or when a relative change in light level is detected (see Param 9.) Finally, the Motion Detector sends this group Battery Reports and a Device Reset Locally notification to remove itself from the Z-Wave network.
Association group 1 supports 5 nodes.
The Motion Detector sends a BASIC_SET command to Association Group 2 to directly trigger devices (like a siren, chime, etc.) when motion is detected and when it stops.Optionally, the Motion Detector can be set to only send this when ambient light levels fall below a predetermined level (see Configuration Parameters 5 and 8.)See Configuration Parameters 2, 3, 5, and 8 for more details regarding Association Group 2.
Association group 2 supports 5 nodes.
Group 3 supports up to 5 members and the Motion Detector sends it a NOTIFICATION_REPORT when motion is detected and when it stops
Association group 3 supports 5 nodes.
Group 4 supports up to 5 members and the Motion Detector sends it a SENSOR_BINARY_REPORT when motion is detected and when it stops.
Association group 4 supports 5 nodes.
