Trying to upload more photos of how its connected but this stupid forum wont allow me to upload anything more then 3kb....... ughhhhhhh

Don't bother.  This forum only allows something like 500K TOTAL per user.   Upload the photo or image to a server somewhere (as you later did).  Then post the link directly in the text of your message (NOT using the "Link" icon) and the photo will be imbedded into the message.

NO / NC is reversed.  This has nothing to do with your motion sensor.  It is how your input device is configured.  In case you don't see my image, there is a link to it below.  The Green arrow is where you select the desired Comm Port.  The Red arrow sets tests for the Inputs.  The Purple arrow shows that Input #3 has been triggered.  If you click Config at the bottom, you can change the NO / NC setting for that input.  Sorry, I can't do another screen capture because my landscaping show is running at this time.

BTW, depending on your motion sensor, you MAY be able to change NO vs NC in the Motion Sensor, but it is so easy to do it in HU that is not much point in it unless that is a special reason to do so.

 

MINT!!!!! All fixed!!! Thank you so much! Do you know if there are sensitivity settings that can be adjusted?

Glad I was able to help.

I know nothing about the Motion Sensor that you are using.

I still know nothing about.  Never used (or even seen) one.

Sure you have. 😛 They are called PIR and are in many buildings as part of the alarm. They even open the door at the market.  They may be the 'exit' button for a badge entry door.

The one shown appears to be a very basic model. Fancy ones may use 2 methods to detect (pet resistant) or even Microwaves (which penetrate doors and windows). Almost all have a NC/NO setting. Looking at the silkscreen markings, that one may have a field of view adjustment.

Obviously I am familiar with PIR detectors.  I am not specifically familiar with the ones that LOR sells - therefore, can't advise on how to set the sensitivity or NC / NO setting (if there is for either of those).
