Title: Motion Sensor's Codes
Post by: randy on April 16, 2005, 08:19:11 PM
I am trying to get a light to be turned on
by a EagleEye Motion Sensor. But I don't see
any way of setting a code on the thing. I
don't get it -- how does the control unit
know which sensor is which? And what to do
once it goes off?

I put batteries in it and then my kitchen
sink light (code: A1) comes on. But,I want
my bathroom light (code: E5) to come on for
5 minutes instead.

Randy, hello
There should be some instructions with the
sensor.  It details how to change the house
code and unit code on the sensor.  The
buttons are inside just above the batteries.
Not real easy to follow the first time...I
am smiling  but after the first time it will
get easier.  promise...!
Regards,
SteveRF

It is set with the buttons as mentioned. Are
you using a tranceiver that can do more than
one house code? Like a cm15a? If not then
you would need a tranceiver for each house
code you want to use.

Thanks for responding.

Yes, I have CM15a. The motion sensor has two
buttons just above the batters:

1. House/on
2. Unit/off

Hummm....from that, I can see that there is
some way of using these switches to change
the codes, but how, I can't figure.

There were no instructions with the unit.
