What are the features of the Aeotec motion sensor?
The Aeotec Motion sensor comes with multiple advanced features. This multisensor works on wireless network connection through your control panel system. Let’s get to its primary features below:
1. Built-in Battery level detection
The Aeotec motion sensor comes with a built-in battery level detection. Hence, the device will automatically report the battery level to the control panel it’s connected to. It’s a useful feature since you will know in advance if it’s going to run out of battery. In that case, you can recharge it instantly to keep using this sensor without any hassle.
The battery status of this motion sensor will be visible on the control panel’s display interface or an application. It’s good to keep tabs on the battery change because you never know when it might run out, and the device may switch off.
2. Monitoring motion
The Aeotec motion sensor includes advanced technology, which helps it detect any movements or options near it. It can monitor movement around it and send you information or alerts through the control panel system. Whenever someone enters and roams around in your house without a-your knowledge or permission, you will get to know them instantly through the alerts sent by the Aeotec motion sensor.
3. Energy saving
Without the presence of motion sensors, you may leave the lights around your home on. You may think that it will provide safety as the burglars won’t try to get in when the lights are on. However, it can be more energy-consuming. On the other hand, using the Aeotec motion sensor means that you won’t have to keep the lights on all the time. You will be able to get motion alerts even when your lights are off. Hence, these sensors are more secure, safe, and convenient.
4. Enhanced Security
The Aeotec motion sensors enable you to enhance the security levels at your home. It detects motion through changes in temperature and light in your home. Suppose you are out of your home and want to ensure that no one enters your home in your absence.
