KS200M ambient light sensor

2025-08-05 17:59:34

Model: Kasa KS200M

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hi,

I just installed the KS200M. I can't figure out the light sensor aspect of it. What does the light sensor value mean? And how does that relate to the does presets? Like dusk/dawn has a light level 0. Does that mean it will only turn on when motion is detected when the light is at 0 or above 0? I cannot seem to get the switch to NOT activate at times of bright sunshine. The switch turns on all the time with motion. I want to have it turn on with motion, but NOT when it's bright and sunny. Can you help?? Thanks!

@Questions2222

You can simply understand it as ambient brightness; the higher the value, the brighter it is. After enabling the Ambient Light Sensor, you will need to create a rule in the Smart Control to actually make it work -- set Trigger (How to turn on the light) as 'Motion Detected When it's Dark'. This trigger means the switch will only turn on the light when its motion sensor detects movement, AND when the ambient brightness falls below your specified value.
