View source for Motion Sensors Turn on Incorrect Code

==Question==

'''My Motion Sensor is always B2, but works only A1'''

==Answer==

The motion sensor seems to be set to B2, but the second flash you see during installation is really the sensor telling you it is still on A1.

Here is a break down of what is happening:

*When you press and hold either the House/On or the Unit/Off buttons, the light on the motion sensor flickers rapidly. This indicates that it is sending out an On or Off command, depending on whether you pressed House or Unit.


*A few seconds of holding down the button, and the light will flash once. This is telling you two things--it is set to A (if you pressed House) or 1 (if you pressed Unit), and it is '''ready''' to begin programming.


*If you let go and do not press anything (or continue to hold down the button), then it will flash again. This will be to tell you it is still on A (or 1), and that it is '''done''' with programming.


*'''The trick is to release the button after that first solid flash. Release it, and then begin programming immediately.'''
