Wiring motion sensors


Motion sensors need three wires: supply, GND and a data conductor. On motion, most sensors output a high (HIGH) signal level.

Wiring

FunctionUTP conductor
+5 V supplyBlue, blue-white
GNDBrown-white, brown
Data (signal)Green
Connect only a low-voltage sensor that operates in the documented signal-level range. Before wiring, check the supply voltage and output signal level on the sensor datasheet.

Setup in the app

Most motion sensors output a HIGH signal level on motion, so select the HIGH option when configuring in the app.
