Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication)
and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the
receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-
Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency
range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as
this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a
lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.

Product Description
The SP816 Outdoor Motion Detector is a Z-Wave Plus enabled device and is fully compatible with any Z-WaveTM enabled network. The device can be set
up in a Z-wave network to communicate directly with other end devices such as lighting controllers, or to report directly to a Z-wave controller (usually a
gateway).
This motion detector is primarily designed for outdoor lighting control application. It features a PIR motion detector to detect movement in a protected area
and a lux sensor for determining brightness of its surroundings. It comes with a built in timer to set the duration for light turn on. The lux level and the timer
can be set through knobs on the device itself.
If the PIR detects motion when lux level falls below a preset setting, the device will transmit a signal to turn on the outdoor lighting (or indirectly through
gateway) and then later turns it off when its timer has elapsed.
This device can also be used as a basic motion sensor for indoor security
application.
