Install the TRÅDFRI motion sensor kit

Set the symbol on the moon to have the light triggered by the motion sensor only when it’s dark or set it on the sun sensor to have it work when it’s daylight. You can also set the time to have it turn off after 1, 5 or 10 minutes of no motion. Watch this video for a step-by-step guide to getting started with the TRÅDFRI motion sensor kit.

Add/Remove light sources

Add bulbs, doors and panels

It’s easy to add light sources such as bulbs, doors and panels to your remote control.

1. Install the light source and turn on the main power switch.

2. Keep the remote within 5cm of the light source and press the pairing button for 10 seconds (located under the remote control lid).

3. A red light will shine on the remote control and, when it’s successfully paired, the light source will dim and flash once.

Watch these videos to learn more about adding light sources to your remote control.
 
Add several bulbs

If you have a light source with more than one light bulb that sit close together, you’ll need to pair them one by one. Install your first light bulb, pair it and then remove it. Then install the second light bulb, pair it and remove it, etc. Do this with all the light bulbs.

Watch this video to see how to pair light sources with multiple bulbs.
