One feature of Samsung The Frame TV is a motion and light sensor that detects activity and ambient light levels in the room.
- Motion Detection: When the TV is in ART MODE, if the room is vacant or no motion is detected for an extended period, then the TV screen will power down. When activity or a significant change in the light level (i.e., a light switch being turned on) is detected, then the TV will turn back on to art mode within a few seconds.
- Light Detection: When in ART MODE, the TV will read the approximate light level in the room and will adjust the brightness of the art on the screen to mimic what a piece of art would look like in a dimly lit room.
- IR Sensor: There is also an IR sensor for when using a third party remote that communicates via infrared line-of-site. The default function of the Samsung provided remote uses Bluetooth RF communication and does not require line-of-site like an IR remote would. If you are using a third party remote via IR with a Deco Frame you'll want either our IR-3 infrared repeater or our more advanced SRS-2 module that has motion, light, and IR sensing capabilities.
In Combination with a Deco TV Frame
Since our Deco TV Frames are wider than the add-on bezels that Samsung offers, the motion sensor is somewhat obstructed and the effectiveness of that sensor can be diminished. So to address this there are two solutions.
- Disable Night Mode and everything will work fine. CLICK HERE
- Add our optional Smart Room Sensor (Sold separately)
Be careful to order the correct Smart Room Sensor for your specific TV model year. See Below for more details.
