- The sun sensor has the function sun and vibration in connection with the HomePilot, both functions can be used as event in triggers.
- The sensitivities are set exclusively on the sun sensor.
Registration on the HomePilot:
The sun sensor can either be registered directly to the 5 receivers for sun protection or also registered to the HomePilot.
-
- Start the registration mode on the HomePilot.
- Then press the menu button on the side of the sun sensor until the menu LED lights up blue.

Mounting the sensor on the window:
-
- The sensor is stuck to the window pane relatively far down. The sensor must not be covered later when a blind moves to the sun position. (if sun function is used)
- The sensor can be mounted high or across.
- The operating buttons should be on the left or on top
Use sun function via HomePilot:

Create a scene
- Create a scene in which you add all the devices that should react in case of vibration
- Set the target of each device in this scene, for example: turn on siren, turn on lights in the garden, shutters to 100%, etc.

-
Create a trigger
- Create a new trigger
- Event "Shock
- selected device = DuoFern sun sensor
- Reaction to vibration detected
- one-time event
- optionally a condition can be added. For example, a period from 10 pm to 6 am. This way you make sure that the alarm will not be triggered if someone simply uses the window during the day.
