2.2 Sensor Technologies

Выбухнуў view diagram highlighting the three core technologies within the sensor: a Light Sensor for ambient light detection, a PIR Sensor for responsive motion detection, and mmWave Radar for precise presence detection.

• mmWave Radar: Detects subtle movements, including stationary presence (e.g., breathing, chest movements), ensuring lights don't turn off unexpectedly.
• Датчык PIR: Provides responsive detection for larger movements, enhancing overall motion sensing.
• Датчык святла: Measures ambient light levels, enabling smart automations based on room brightness.

3. Настройка

3.1 Устаноўка батарэі

The sensor requires two AAA batteries. Ensure they are inserted with the correct polarity. The sensor is designed for long battery life, estimated up to 2 years under typical usage (10 entries/exits per day, 30-minute sessions).

A close-up of the sensor with a large "2 YEARS" graphic in the background, emphasizing its long battery life due to ultra-low power mmWave radar technology. A note indicates battery life is estimated based on 10 entries/exits per day, each 30 minutes.

3.2 Фізічнае размяшчэнне і мантаж

The sensor offers flexible installation options:

• Размяшчэнне ў кватэры: Use the magnetic base to place the sensor on any flat surface like a desk or bookshelf.
• Насценны мантаж: The magnetic base allows for easy attachment to walls. For permanent installation, use the provided 3M adhesive.
• Рэгуляваны кут: The magnetic base enables rotation and adjustment of the detection angle to optimize coverage and prevent false triggers.

This image illustrates the versatile installation options for the sensor, showing it placed on a bookshelf (battery-powered), on a desk (with included base), on a metal shelf (strong magnetic grip), and in a bathroom (splash-proof IPX5).

3.3 Рэкамендацыі па ўстаноўцы

Для аптымальнай працы:

• Ensure the device faces the activity area directly.
• Avoid interference sources such as curtains, plants, or running fans.
• Position the device so its front faces chest height when users are in their common posture (sitting or standing).
• If installing at a higher location, adjust the device angle so it points toward chest height of the frequently monitored posture.

3.4 Усталёўка і спалучэнне праграм

Download the SwitchBot app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to add and pair your Presence Sensor. This is required for initial setup and customization of settings.

3.5 Hub Connection (Optional)

For advanced automations, remote access, and compatibility with third-party platforms like Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit (via Matter), and Home Assistant, a SwitchBot Hub (e.g., SwitchBot Hub 2, Hub 3) is required. Follow the hub's instructions to connect the Presence Sensor.

4.1 Presence and Motion Detection

The sensor continuously monitors its environment for both subtle presence and active motion. It can detect stationary humans up to 5 meters and moving humans up to 8 meters within a 120° wide-angle field of view. This ensures that automations are triggered accurately and lights do not turn off while you are still in the room.

This image demonstrates the benefit of the presence sensor in a bathroom. On the left, a person is seated, and the light remains on due to presence detection. On the right, the bathroom is empty, and the light is off.

This image provides diagrams showing the sensor's 120° wide-angle detection and its range of up to 8 meters for moving humans and 5 meters for stationary humans, ensuring comprehensive room coverage.

4.2 Smart Automations

The Presence Sensor can be integrated into various smart home automations:

• Hub-Free Automations: Directly link the sensor with up to 5 other SwitchBot devices (e.g., Bot, Curtain, Light Series) via Bluetooth for instant, local triggers. For example, turn on a SwitchBot Light when presence is detected.
• Hub-Based Automations: When paired with a SwitchBot Hub, create complex scenarios involving multiple devices and third-party platforms. Examples include automatically turning on lights and air purifiers when you enter a room, or triggering security notifications.
