[FGMS-001] repeated trigger under continuous motion

[3JL 7]

Dear all,

Is it correct that the Fibaro motion sensor only picks up motion after a period without motion?

I am not sure whether this makes sense, but I experience the following:

- The motion sensor is working fine when I enter a room (motion is detected); if I enter within the 'blind time' (e.g. 6 seconds) nothing happens, but other than that motion is picked up properly

- However, when I remain in the room, there is not a signal detected every 'blind time' (in the example every 6 seconds). It can take minutes before a new signal is being detected.

 

I would need this repeated signal for a specific application. Can this be changed or worked around? I cannot find anything in this regard in the manual's list of parameters..

 

Thanks, J

Have you altered the sensitivity? This can lead to a result like that.

Thanks @Thomasn!

Forgive me my ignorance on the inner workings of the motion sensor. Should I expect 'better' behaviour with higher sensitivity (because of more triggers) or lower sensitivity (less overload)?

There is a warning about changing the sensitivity in the sensor's settings menu. I have no problems with fibaro sensors and their detection of movement. And I have not changed the standard settings.
