The Lightwave LP70 Smart Motion Sensor is a wireless, battery-powered device that adds intelligence to your smart home. It enables automation by detecting motion and triggering other Lightwave devices, such as lights or sockets.

What’s in the Box?

Position the sensor in a location where motion detection is desired, such as an entrance, hallway, or bathroom.

Placement Tips:

  • Install at a height between 1.8 – 2.5 meters.

  • Face the sensor toward areas with expected movement.

     

Mounting Options:

  • Magnetic Mount: Attach the magnetic base to a clean surface, and place the sensor onto it. This allows easy repositioning.

The sensor will be added and shown in your app under the name you provided.
