Note: This product includes only a HomeRemote Pro Wireless Motion Detector. An installed HomeRemote Pro Internet Gateway (sold separately) is required to use the detector. An additional monthly subscription fee is required to access all of the features of the detector. (Click here for a comparison chart between the Home Remote Pro System basic and pro-level services.)

Additional Modules Mean Added Security
The HomeRemote Motion Detector lets you monitor activity anywhere in your home, no matter where you are. Designed to work well in both dark and lighted areas, the detector can be placed in hallways or an entranceway, or near doors and windows. You can use it to set lights to turn on and off when activity is detected, frightening and exposing potential intruders. Other modules can also be triggered by the Motion Detector thanks to the "Device Linking" feature. You can also use the sensor to send you text messages and email alerts when it detects movement in your house.

The sensor's long battery life (3 AA batteries included) helps ensure your home stays protected while letting you place it anywhere, without blocking an outlet or worrying about a power cord.

Quick, Easy Setup
With true plug-and-play setup, it's easy to integrate motion detector modules into your existing HomeRemote system. Simply follow the wizard on the add/remove module page of the HomeRemote Web interface to add a new sensor to your customized system. Once this is done, place the sensor in any room of your house using the included mounting screws, and you're ready to go. It's that easy. Since it's wireless and battery-operated, there are no wires, cables, or any other special installation hassles to worry about.

How the HomeRemote Pro Monitoring System Works
The HomeRemote Monitoring System lets you monitor your home, secure it from intruders, and control its appliances and power usage via a cell phone or an Internet browser while you're working, at school, or even traveling abroad. You can also use it to monitor your children or pets, or keep tabs on an elderly family member. And business owners can use the system to keep an eye on their premises or employees.

By connecting the Pro Internet Gateway to your Internet router, you'll effectively create a wireless network that "connects" your home to the Internet. And by adding HomeRemote Pro accessories to your home, such as the Pro Door Sensor and Pro Lamp Module, or other HomeRemote Pro-enabled products, such as Electrical Appliance modules and Pro Motion Detectors (sold separately), you'll have the option of remotely controlling your heating and cooling system, lighting, blinds, garage door, and virtually any electrical appliance in your home.

Award-Winning Z-Wave Wireless Technology
At the heart of the HomeRemote Pro System is Z-Wave wireless "mesh" technology, an award-winning wireless standard for home automation. Unlike traditional remote technologies that rely on

infrared signals, Z-Wave is not affected by walls or other barriers, and it offers two-way communication, giving you confirmation that your commands were received and executed. With Z-Wave, the guesswork and finger-crossing is taken out of the equation.

Because each "module" or HomeRemote Pro accessory acts as a repeater that extends the distance of the Z-Wave signals, with a few easily installed and strategically placed HomeRemote Pro accessories, your entire home can be covered in a matter of minutes without any hard-wiring or special installation.

Easy Set Up: No Special Tools or Wiring Required
Setting up a HomeRemote Pro Monitoring System up couldn't be easier. Once you connect the Pro Internet Gateway to your router, you log into the HomeRemote Pro Web site, where you can customize your HomeRemote Pro System by naming the rooms in your home. (You can also personalize your HomeRemote Pro Web page with photos of yourself and other custom touches.) Then it's just a matter of plugging accessories into outlets throughout your home and adding them to your system.

The "installation" of HomeRemote Pro accessories is as easy as plugging in one of the several HomeRemote Pro modules into available electrical outlets. Once the modules, which are about the size of typical home appliance timers, are connected, you simply plug your lamp or appliance into it. The modules let you control appliances remotely (you can schedule them, or turn them on or off on demand), and they will also act as "repeaters" that effectively extend your home's Z-Wave wireless network.

The HomeRemote Wireless Motion Detector measures 4 x 4 x 4 inches.

What's in the Box
One wireless motion detector module, 3 AA batteries, mounting screws, and a user's manual.

This sensor sucks the battery power like anything.

Its not reliable for home alarm system.

I've installed this outside to activate a web cam when there is motion. It works perfectly. Easy to connect to my Vera2, easy to mount. Seems rugged.

I will update later with how it works with the Vermont winter.
