Aeotec by Aeon Labs MultiSensor.
Motion sensor. Humidity sensor. Thermometer. Light sensor.
The corner of your room just got smart.
Aeotec by Aeon Labs’ MultiSensor looks like a motion sensor and it acts like one
too. But it’s also so much more. Installing this 1 piece of Z-Wave® technology is
the same as installing 4 pieces of Z-Wave technology. Your home control network
will immediately understand motion, temperature, humidity and light readings
wherever MultiSensor installed. Those intelligent readings will equate to intelligence
automation. And intelligent automation will give you the perfect, smart home.
Your MultiSensor comes packaged with a number of accessories that will help with
its installation and operation.
Your MultiSensor can be powered by battery or by USB with an appropriate adaptor.
For the purposes of installation and setup, and even if you intend to power your
sensor with batteries, we recommend utilizing the provided USB cable for setup.
For this you’ll need an adaptor to plug your USB cable into, this can include any
USB port on a computer and most mobile phone chargers. These rst steps can be
performed in any location with your home, and not necessarily in your MultiSensor’s
nal installation location.
For a USB powered installation;
1. Remove the rear part of your sensor by twisting the battery cover in a counter-
clockwise motion and separating the two parts of your sensor.
1. If your Z-Stick is plugged into a gateway or a computer, unplug it.
2. Take your Z-Stick to your MultiSensor.
3. Press the Action Button on your Z-Stick.
4. Press the Z-Wave Button on your MultiSensor.
5. You can test if your MultiSensor has been successfully synced with your Z-Wave
network by pressing its Z-Wave Button. If you press the button and your sensor’s
LED illuminates for a few seconds, then syncing has been successful. If the LED
blinks when the button is pressed, the syncing has been unsuccessful and you
should repeat the above steps.
6. Press the Action Button on the Z-Stick to return it to standard operating mode,
then return it to your gateway or computer.
1. Take your Minimote to your MultiSensor.
2. Press the Include button on your Minimote.
3. Press the Z-Wave Button on your MultiSensor.
4. You can test if your MultiSensor has been successfully synced with your Z-Wave
network by pressing its Z-Wave Button. If you press the button and your sensor’s
LED illuminates for a few seconds, then syncing has been successful. If the LED
blinks when the button is pressed, the syncing has been unsuccessful and you
should repeat the above steps.
5. Press any button on your Minimote to return it to standard operating mode.
MultiSensor can bring its intelligent readings to many locations of your home. That
includes outside of your home. MultiSensor is weatherized and can operate outdoors
in elements such as rain and snow. Please note that when installed outdoors, your
MultiSensor should only be relied on for temperature, light and humidity readings
and that the motion sensing capabilities should be disabled on your gateway in order
to avoid false readings.
While light can impact on the quality of motion readings, it’s also important to
understand things that may impact on other readings within your home. Specically,
your MultiSensor should not be installed in areas of articial temperature change.
Thus, when selecting a location, avoid placing it beside or near air conditioners,
humidiers, and heaters, and avoid positioning it directly opposite a window or direct
sunlight.
Selecting a location for your MultiSensor to be installed depends on the use case.
Whatever the case or the installation location, please ensure that it ts with your
sensor’s effective motion sensing range as described in these diagrams.
For a battery powered installation;
1. Remove the rear part of your sensor as shown in the previous step 1.
2. Insert 4 AAA batteries oriented according to the picture below. Your MultiSensor is
now powered on.
It’s now time to sync your MultiSensor with a Z-Wave network. The following
instructions explain how to do this using a Z-Stick or a Minimote from Aeotec. If
you’re using an alternative controller for your Z-Wave network, please refer to its user
manual for network inclusion instructions.
If you’re using a Z-Stick:
If you’re using a Minimote:
For ceiling mounting using the Back-Mount Plate:
Further, for optimal performance your MultiSensor should NOT be mounted directly
on or near metal framing or other large metallic objects. Large metal objects may
weaken the Z-Wave wireless signal.
If selecting an outdoor location, it’s important to position your MultiSensor in a
sheltered location. It is best if your MultiSensor is not directly exposed to rain and
integral that the humidity venting on your MultiSensor is. As such, during installation
you should orient your MultiSensor according to the following diagram so that the
sensor perforations on the side of your sensor are facing downwards.
With your MultiSensor now part of your Z-Wave network, it’s time to nish its physical
installation.
There are 2 ways that your MultiSensor can be mounted on on a wall or ceiling.
Using the Back-Mount Plate, you can mount it at against a wall or ceiling. Using the
Back-Mount Arm you can mount it on a surface or in a corner and angle it as desired.
To physically install your MultiSensor;
1. Reattach the two parts of your MultiSensor to each other. To do this, align the
lock/unlock half-dimple markers that are under the unlock symbol and then twist in
a clockwise motion.
2. If used the USB cable to power your MultiSensor, ensure that power can be
provided to your desired installation location. Please note that when installed in
areas that where the temperature can drop below -10°C, it is advised that mains
power is used and battery power is not.
3. Attach your desired mounting accessory. This can be the Back-Mount Plate or the
Back-Mount Arm.
4. If using the Back-Mount Plate, utilize the provided 3mm screws to afx it to a surface.
5. If using the Back-Mount Arm, utilize one 3x10mm screw to attach the Back-Mount
Plate to the Back-Mount Arm. Then afx the Back-Mount Arm to a surface utilizing
the provided 3x20mm screws.
6. The Back-Mount Arm may be locked at various angles by turning the Friction Lock
clockwise and counter-clockwise to respectively tighten or loosen the angle of the
arm.
For wall mounting using the Back-Mount Arm:
2. Insert the appropriate end of the provided USB cable into your sensor’s USB port.

Your MultiSensor has built in battery level detection. It will automatically report its
battery level to the associated control point throughout its life until the battery is fully
drained and needs replacing. The battery status will often be displayed in the user
interface of the control point.
When used properly in an optimised Z-Wave network, your MultiSensor can be
powered by batteries for 12 months before battery replacement is necessary.
Recommendation: For networks which do not offer a method to display the battery
level of your MultiSensor, it is recommended that the sensor be tested occasionally
to ensure that the batteries still hold enough charge to operate. Batteries naturally
lose their charge over time.

blink when you press the Z-wave Button. If the removal was unsuccessful, the LED
will stay solid for a few seconds when you press the Z-wave Button.
5. Press any button on your Minimote to take it out of removal mode.
Your MultiSensor can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You’ll
need to use your Z-Wave network’s main controller to do this and the following
instructions tell you how to do this using Aeotec by Aeon Labs’ Z-Stick and Minimote
controllers. If you are using other products as your main Z-Wave controller, please
refer to the part of their respective manuals that tells you how remove devices from
your network.
The MultiSensor can send Basic Set Command to association group 1, which
is setup via the Association Command Class, when the Motion Sensor detects
movement to control the associated devices to “OPEN” state. After 4 minutes by
default, if the Motion Sensor is not triggered again, the MultiSensor will send Basic
Set Command to these devices to set them to their “CLOSE” state. However, if the
Motion Sensor is triggered again within 4 minutes, the MultiSensor will reset the
timing and start timing again.
The 4 minutes delay time can be changed through the usage of Z-Wave command
built into Z-Wave certied control points. (The specic Z-Wave command supporting
this function is Conguration Command Class) Please consult the operation manual
for these control points for specic instructions on setting the MultiSensor.
Setting Motion Sensor delay time.
Parameter 3 [2 byte decimal] can be congured through your gateway in case the
default settings of your MultiSensor are not what you desire.
For example, this parameter setting is initially set to 240 which is the delay time in 4
minutes or 240 seconds.
You may set the value to the desired Motion Sensor delay time to any amount of
seconds as you like. So if you want the time out to be 5 minutes after the Motion
Sensor is triggered, set this parameter to 300.
Parameter 111 will set the interval for Group 1 (parameter 101), parameter 112 will
set the interval for Group 2 (parameter 102), and parameter 113 will set the interval
for Group 3 (parameter 103).
As an example, you have set parameter 101 to 225 which will report all of the
sensors, and you want to report it every 1800 seconds. Set parameter 111 to 1800 to
accomplish this.
If your MultiSensor is battery powered, you will need to ensure that it is active when
conguring it. To do this, press and hold its Z-Wave Button for 3 seconds and then
release it. Your MultiSensor’s LED should now be solid to indicate that it is active.
When you are done conguring or communicating with your MultiSensor, you can
put it back into sleep mode to conserve battery power. To do this, press and hold its
Z-Wave button for 3 seconds and then release it. Your MultiSensor’s LED should
now be off to indicate that it is asleep.
At some stage or your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may also wish
to reset all of your MultiSensor’s settings to their factory defaults. To do this, press
and hold the Z-Wave Button for 20 seconds and then release it. Your MultiSensor
will now be reset to its original settings, and the LED will stay solid for 2 seconds and
then turn off as a conrmation.

Parameter 101-103 [4 byte decimal] can be congured through your gateway in case
the default settings of your MultiSensor are not what you desire.
The table above shows a decimal representation of all flags that can be set on
parameter 101-103 to report specic data.
Example use of the report table.
For example, if you want to report only the temperature and light sensor you would
add 32 + 64 and set the sum (96) to parameter 101, 102, or 103.
As another example, if you want to report only the light sensor and battery, you would
add 1 + 128, then set the sum (129) to parameter 101, 102, or 103.
And if you want to report all of the sensors, you would add the whole table together
and set the sum (225) to parameter 101, 102, or 103.
