What is the other button on the Gen 2 Motion Sensor labeled 1 & 2

On the Motion Sensor there is actually another 2 switches which are beside each other. one is labeled 1 and the other is labeled 2.

Here is what they are:

Button 1: LED Light Switch - enable or disable the led light that turns on when it senses motion

The LED light switch on a motion sensor allows you to enable or disable the LED light that turns on when motion is detected. Here are a few reasons why this feature might be useful:

Visual Indicator: The LED light can serve as a visual indicator that the sensor has detected motion and is functioning properly.
Energy Efficiency: Disabling the LED light can save a small amount of energy, which can be beneficial if you have multiple sensors.
Stealth Mode: In some situations, you might not want the LED light to be visible, such as in a bedroom or a security setup where you don’t want to alert intruders that they have been detected.
Battery Life: If the sensor is battery-operated, disabling the LED light can help extend the battery life.

Button 2: The switch on the back of the contact sensor that says “trigger time 5s/5m” is used to set the delay time for the sensor’s trigger response (see image below)

Here’s what it means:

5s (Selected by Default): The sensor will trigger after a delay of 5 seconds.
5m: The sensor will trigger after a delay of 5 minutes.

This feature allows you to customize how quickly the sensor responds to an event, such as a door or window opening. For example, if you set it to 5 seconds, the sensor will trigger almost immediately after detecting the event. If you set it to 5 minutes, there will be a longer delay before the sensor triggers, which can be useful in certain situations where you want to avoid false alarms or give yourself more time to disarm the system.

In the scenario where you have a 20-second delay set on the alarm system and a 5-minute delay set on the motion sensor, the motion sensor’s delay time will take precedence. This means that when someone walks past the motion sensor, it will wait for 5 minutes before triggering the alarm, regardless of the 20-second delay set on the alarm system.

This setup allows for more granular control over individual sensors, which can be useful in various situations. For example, you might want a longer delay for certain areas to reduce false alarms or to give yourself more time to disarm the system.
