Why is motion not being detected in the Live View?
- Motion detection was just turned on.
- It can take 2-5 minutes from when Motion Detection is turned on before motion starts being detected.
- Your mobile may have lost its data connection.
- The graph may stop being drawn if the connection drops temporarily.
- Close the HomePass app, check your connection, and reopen the app.
- You may not have enough devices and/or SuperPods currently being used to detect motion.
- Even though you may seem to have enough devices available in the Sense Devices list, not all of them are considered suitable.
- Devices are disabled for motion detection if they go into power-saving mode or they are connected to a channel experiencing high interference, but will still appear selected in the list.
- Choose other devices for motion detection, if you haven't already.
- If possible, disable power-saving features on the devices.
Why do I have poor motion detection coverage?
- You may not have enough devices and/or SuperPods currently being used to detect motion.
- Even though you may seem to have enough devices available in the Sense Devices list, not all of them are considered suitable.
- Devices are disabled for motion detection if they go into power-saving mode or they are connected to a channel experiencing high interference, but will still appear selected in the list.
- Choose other devices for motion detection, if you haven't already.
- If possible, disable power-saving features on the devices.
- For single SuperPod setups, adding additional WiFi-connected SuperPods will help.
- Motion detection sensitivity may be set too low.
- Turning up the sensitivity may help with motion coverage.
- All of your Sense Devices are clustered around the same or just a few SuperPods. This will particularly impact networks that only have Ethernet-connected SuperPods.
- If all the devices being used for motion detection are very close to the same SuperPod (example: all in the same entertainment unit or room), motion detection will be limited to that area.
- You can choose the devices available for motion detection in such a way that improves coverage, or add Wi-Fi devices or re-position select devices so they are not so close to the SuperPods.
