The light behaves erratically

If your Netatmo Outdoor Light turns on or off unexpectedly, several causes are possible:

Sources of interference

  • Other light sources: the product contains photosensitive electronic components. If other lights illuminate the PIR sensor at night, this can cause malfunctions.
  • Large metal objects near the sensor.
  • Air currents with temperature variations in the detection zone.
  • High-voltage lines or sources emitting microwave signals at the same frequency as the sensor.

What to do?

  • Move or remove the identified sources of interference.
  • Reduce the detection range (SENS dial towards 3 m) if false triggers persist.
  • Check that the installation height is approximately 2.5 m.
