Knowledge Base

It allows bOS to automatically react when movement is detected in a room or area. When the linked movement sensor becomes active, the task can turn on the selected output device, such as a lamp, lighting group, relay, or other ON/OFF device.

This is commonly used for automatic lighting control in areas where lights should only be active when someone is present, such as corridors, staircases, bathrooms, garages, entrances, storage rooms, and technical areas.

The task helps improve comfort, safety, and energy efficiency. Users do not need to manually switch lights on and off, and lights can be turned off automatically after movement is no longer detected.

Task Settings

The Input Value is linked to a movement sensor. This can be any device or value in the configuration that provides movement detection, such as a KNX motion detector, alarm sensor, presence sensor, or another Boolean movement value.

The Output Value is linked to the device that should be controlled by movement, such as a lamp, lighting circuit, relay, or other ON/OFF device.

When movement is detected, the task activates the output value. This allows the connected light or device to turn on automatically when someone enters the area.

Movement Detector tasks are commonly used in corridors, staircases, bathrooms, garages, entrances, technical rooms, and other areas where automatic lighting control is needed.

Visualization Settings

After the Movement Detector task is configured, it can be added to the visualization by dragging and dropping it into the Theme.

This allows users to view and adjust movement detector settings directly from the bOS Client app, without opening bOS Configurator.

Depending on the project setup, users can control options such as:

• Delay — defines how long the output stays active after movement is no longer detected.

• Brightness Limit — prevents the light from turning on automatically when there is already enough natural or artificial light.

• Block Movement Detector — temporarily disables automatic movement control, for example during maintenance or special room use.

• ON/OFF control — enables or disables the movement detector function.

This gives users more flexibility and allows them to fine-tune automatic lighting behavior according to their needs, room usage, and lighting conditions.
