Things to consider before setting up your Motion Sensor

For a complete guide of things to know before set-up, see here.

You’ll need to connect your Indoor Camera and Sensor Bridge. Make sure they both show a solid blue light. This means your setup has been successful.

Installing your Motion Sensor

  1. Tap the Motion Sensor tile on your Sky Protect app home screen.

  2. Pull out the battery tab.

  3. Gently press the pin (provided in the box) into the small hole on the side of the Motion Sensor for 3 seconds and release. The light on the front of the Motion Sensor should now flash three times, which indicates the device is in pairing mode with the sensor bridge. It can take about a minute.

  4. Position your Motion Sensor in your chosen location and assign it a name and select its location in the app.

Choosing the right spot

  • There are two pieces to the Motion Sensor, the magnetic holder, and the sensor itself.

  • The magnetic holder comes with an adhesive backing, ready for mounting on a wall or other vertical surface. Peel the protective paper off the back and stick in place on the wall.
