Occupancy Sensor & Low Light Levels

[maguire]

I haven't been able to get the Low Light Level Disable feature for the LRF2 occupancy sensor to work on my RadioRA2 system.

Ex. If there is enough ambient light, the sensor would NOT turn on the associated scene/lights..

Anyone else?

Sounds redundant, but you do have it set for Occupancy, correct? Low Light wouln't appy to a vacancy setting. I checked my 4.2.10 and the low light wasn't an option in the programming phase, so I assume you are referring to the low light setting on the the back of the device.

I have programmed an Occupied scene and an Unoccupied scene in 4.2.1

I have the setting on the back of the sensor set to Low Light Disable.

Someone told me a story that tech support said that "Low Light Disable" only works on Maestro Wireless gear, and Ra2 ignores the ambient light levels.

Not sure I beleive that, but then again - it isn't working correctly on my setup.

I've heard that same rumor.

The low light level setting on the back of the sensor is not a currently supported feature in the RadioRA2 system.

Couldnt you use the timeclock functions as a fix?...assuming it isnt dark during the day

Mark, here is a time clock function to make the sensor vacancy vs. occupancy. This would be a backward way of "daylight" control.

Guys,

This is an old issue. I'm pretty sure the latest versions of RA2 support the low light feature of the motion sensors. I currently use this setup in my home with no issues. (I have the occupancy version of the sensors). So unless there is a different hardware rev or something that I'm not familiar with, I think this works as you'd expect it to.

Yes, RadioRA 2 does now support the Low Light mode. The time clock can also be leveraged to add another type of "daylight" control.

Low Light support has been in for quite some time now. I cannot recall the OS when this was added but it was added in the pre-5.0 days.
