The proper positioning

First, locate the window or a door with windows that can be seen from outside by potential burglars. A window on the second floor with opaque, but translucent curtains is always a perfect option for this type of protection.

Basically, the idea is to cast shadows on objects that can be seen from outside like curtains, frosted glass surfaces or inner walls. At the same time make sure that HOMESHADOWS itself cannot be seen from outside.

In the case of opaque, but lightly translucent curtains or blinds, aim HOMESHADOWS directly at these objects.

External blinds - wide front

For windows and doors without curtains or with transparent curtains, aim HOMESHADOWS with walls so that light and shadow can be seen from outside.

Setup instruction
3 Steps to your safety

1.

When setting up, make sure not to cover the light sensor (2) at the rear side of the device and leave at least 4inches/10cm space between the light sensor (2) and other objects! In AUTO mode the sensor detects day and night cycles and turns on HOMESHADOWS at dusk automatically.

2.

Connect the included power supply.

3.

» AUTO:
HOMESHADOWS turns on at dusk automatically (< 2 lux = very dark), and turns of again after a programmable time. The blue status LEDs signal that device waits for darkness.

» ON:
HOMESHADOWS is constantly on.
Use this mode to control your device by your smart home or external timer.

» OFF:
HOMESHADOWS is switched off.

Setup examples for HOMESHADOWS

In „AUTO” mode please pay attention to the setup examples so that HOMESHADOWS can detect day and night. In „ON” mode, however, any placement is possible.
