Device Behaviors
Off
This setting manages how the Motion Sensor behaves when triggered in Off mode. The Motion Sensor will not be active when the SimpliSafe® system is disarmed in Off mode, so this setting cannot be customised.
Home
This setting manages how the Motion Sensor behaves when triggered in Home mode. This setting is disabled by default, but to customise the setting you may pick between Alarm or Disabled.
Away
This setting manages how the Motion Sensor behaves when triggered in Away mode. This setting is set to Alarm by default, but to customise the setting you may pick between Alarm or Disabled.
Instant Trigger
When Instant Trigger is enabled, your Motion Sensor will trigger an alarm right away when it detects motion, bypassing the system’s Entry Delay (opens in new tab). This feature is helpful when monitoring areas of your home or business that you do not enter often.
To customise this setting, simply toggle it On or Off in the SimpliSafe® App.
Note: When enabled, your Motion Sensor will always scan for motion in both Home and Away Mode.
Pet Mode
Pet Mode can be turned on if you have dogs or cats in your home or business. Enabling this setting allows the Motion Sensor to filter pets (up to 28KG) in its detection algorithm.
To customise this setting, simply toggle is On or Off. By default, Pet Mode is Off.
