Page 6: Sensor Setup And Installation
Sensor Setup and Installation Powering Up the Sensor To power up the Sensor, gently remove the Sensor back cover by detaching the cover from the clips. You will see an insulator on the battery with the caption “REMOVE BEFORE USE”. Lift the battery by pulling on the battery insulator and gently peel off the battery insulator. -
Page 7: Pairing The Sensor
Fig 7-A Pairing the Sensor 1. Log in to your TrickleStar Portal account. Scan the QR code to access the Portal. 2. On the Dashboard screen, select Devices, then click on your Thermostat Name to enter the Thermostat Control page. - Page 8 5. Press Next once your Sensor LED is blinking to complete the pairing process. This will initiate a scan function and the Thermostat will scan for Sensors in range. Sensors that are detected will be listed by their MAC addresses. Select the correct Sensor from the list of available Sensors for pairing. Note: It may take up to 30 seconds to detect and pair a new Sensor. 6. Once your Sensor is successfully added, the Sensor Status maybe shown as “Not connected”. Wait 1 to 2 minutes for the Sensor data to be auto-populated, or you may click on the “Refresh Sensor Data” icon to update the Sensor readings manually. Fig 8-A Note: •...
- Page 9 If pairing is successful, the Occupancy Sensor will stop blinking. Then, the Bluetooth indicator appears on the Thermostat display. Fig 9-A If pairing is unsuccessful or times out after 8 minutes, the LED will stop blinking and the Sensor will go into standby mode.

Page 10: Mounting The Sensor On A Wall
Mounting the Sensor on a wall Before you mount the Sensor on the wall, be sure to check that: The Sensor is connected to the Thermostat. The Sensor is mounted away from direct heating or cooling sources, such as a fireplace or an air ventilator. -
Page 11: Placing The Sensor On A Flat Surface
Placing the Sensor on a flat surface Before you place the Sensor on a flat surface, be sure to check that: The Sensor is connected to the Thermostat. The Sensor is placed on an even surface and at a safe location. The Sensor is facing the direction where you want to detect occupancy. -
Page 12: Ready For Use
The Occupancy Sensor is now ready for use. In Normal mode, the connection between the Sensor and the Thermostat is set up. The Sensor will automatically update the Connection Status, Room Temperature, Occupancy State and Sensor Battery Level in the Tricklestar Portal and Tricklestar App. Fig 12-A... -
Page 13: Sensor Occupancy Detection
To check the occupancy detection state on the Sensor itself, you can enable the Occupancy Detection LED via the Sensor settings in the TrickleStar Portal. The LED will then blink once every 30 seconds when it detected occupancy within the Sensor’s detection range. -

Page 16: Automated Thermostat Occupancy Mode Changes
Automated Thermostat Occupancy Mode Changes If the Sensor detected an “occupied” state, it will automatically change the Thermostat’s mode to Home (if it was in Away mode previously). If the Sensor detected an “absence” state, it will change the Thermostat’s mode to Away (if it was in Home mode previously). You can adjust the Absence Detection Sensitivity and Occupancy Detection Sensitivity for the Sensor. These control the time delay before an “absence” and “occupied” state is sent by the Sensor respectively. For the Occupancy Detection feature to automatically change the Thermostat’s Mode: a) The Occupancy Detection Enabled field must be set to “Yes”, b) The Sensor Enabled field for each individual Sensor must be set to “Yes”, c) The Sensor Status in the Portal must be shown as “Connected”, d) The Thermostat Mode must be in Home or Away (not Sleep), and e) The Thermostat must be in Schedule mode, and not in Temporary/Permanent/Vacation Hold. Note: • You may also configure the Sensor to only measure room temperature to control the HVAC system by selecting “No” for the Occupancy Detection Enabled field. • Doing so allows you to still be able to check the occupancy state of the Sensor in the Portal, but the Sensor will not automatically change the occupancy mode of the Thermostat. - Page 17 Changing Thermostat Mode from “Home” to “Away” When the Occupancy Sensor detected no movement within the “Absence Detection Sensitivity” duration, the Thermostat will automatically change the occupancy mode to “Away (set by sensor)” if the current mode is “Home”. Your preset Set Temperature (Heat and Cool) and Set Fan (Heat and Cool) for “Away” mode will be followed. Fig 17-A Fig 17-B...
- Page 18 Changing Thermostat Mode from “Away” to “Home” When the Occupancy Sensor detected movement within the “Occupancy Detection Sensitivity” duration, the Thermostat will automatically change the occupancy mode to “Home 1 (set by sensor)” or “Home 2 (set by sensor)” if the current mode is “Away”. Which mode is chosen depended on which Home mode is closest to the current time in the Schedule. Your preset Set Temperature (Heat and Cool) and Set Fan (Heat and Cool) for “Home” mode will be followed. Fig 18-A Fig 18-B...
- Page 19 If the Thermostat is in “Sleep” Mode The Occupancy Sensor will not be able to change the Thermostat’s occupancy mode. Note: To cancel the occupancy mode changes, press and hold the jog dial for 3 seconds to return to current schedule.

Page 20: Weighted Average Of The Room Temperature From All Sensors
Weighted Average of the Room Temperature from all Sensors TrickleStar Portal allows you to customize the weightings to be assigned to the temperatures measured by each individual Sensor, and the Thermostat unit in the Sensor settings. When you add Sensors to your TrickleStar Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat unit, the system automatically calculates the weighted average of the room temperatures measured from all the Sensors and from the Thermostat unit itself using the assigned weightings. -
