I own one of these motion sensors and installed it to detect motion in a room to turn on lights but it will not cover the whole room. Seems to only detect motion from 10-12ft away max. The manual states 7m which is about 23ft! That would be ideal if I could get that but am not. Am I missing something? Didn’t see any settings adjustments for this? Saw a Sensitivity adjustment but would not be the setting I need?
Are other people’s experience the same? I read one review and they said 30ft but I can get anywheee near that!
I run into this problem with my Fibaro FGMS-001’s as well. The useful distance seems to be ~12ft, maybe a little more or less.
I can’t confirm whether turning up sensitivity allows you to spot motion from further away. I actually have the opposite problem, where I need to lower the sensitivity so my cat won’t keep setting the thing off. Unfortunately every time I try sending the parameters indicated in the Fibaro manual to change the motion sensitivity I run into problems. I am using a VeraPlus on the latest firmware. I also have issues when trying to correct the temperature sensor, so basically I seem not to be able to muck with the device parameters at all.
