See the status of your Motion Sensor
To see the status of your Motion Sensor,
1 Go to the Summary page. In the Status window, look for the name you gave your
Motion Sensor. Scroll down if necessary to see it listed. A yellow triangle next to
the name of the Motion Sensor indicates that it has recognized a change such as a
person entering the room See Chapter 1 Getting Started for more information.
Occupied and Empty states
The term ‘Occupied’ means that the Motion Sensor has detected a person moving in the
area that it monitors over 40 pounds in weight. The term ‘Empty’ means that the Motion
Sensor has not detected a person moving into the area it monitors for several minutes.
If a person enters a monitored area, the Motion Sensor immediately recognizes the
change and reports that the area is occupied through your iControl box which in turn
displays the information on your Summary page.
If a person leaves the monitored area, the Motion Sensor ‘waits’ a few minutes before
reporting that the area is empty. This delay is to allow the Motion Sensor to confirm that
the person has left the room. The yellow triangle status icon disappears when the status
changes to ‘empty’.
