The following explains how to send the standard configuration messages to the Genius Motion Sensor to ensure that it is communicating correctly with the Genius hub.


  • Sometimes a Genius Motion Sensor may lose the factory settings which were applied to it when it was added to the system. This can occur when the battery has been changed in the device. When the Genius Motion Sensor has the incorrect configuration messages it can communicate with the Genius Hub too often, which leads to the battery not lasing as long or it can not report back the measured temperature to the Genius Hub. When the device is reconfigured the wake-up interval is reset back to 30 minutes.

  • First locate the Genius Motion Sensor in the room you want to adjust.The number of the Genius Motion Sensor may be located above the battery cover



  • The device now needs to be configured by the Genius Hub to ensure the correct behaviour and communication.To configure the device:
    Go to the 'Menu' then 'Settings'
    Select 'Devices'
    Select the Genius Motion Sensor you want to adjust
    Click on the Device sub-menu (3 dots)
    Select Configure and confirm




  • To ensure that the messages get through to the device, it needs to be woken up.

    First, ping the device:
    Select the Genius Motion Sensor in the room you want to adjust
    Click on the Device sub-menu (3 dots)
    Select Ping and confirm

    Wake up the device by pressing the button on the back of the sensor once.
