![]() ![]() I’d be really happy if my security cameras would integrate with Smartthings So smart things would be alerted to their motion sensors: maybe someday. There are other use cases for which I do want to integrate with SmartThings. ![]() So you just need to shop around on those. So even with this code, the process is going to be very much one of trial and error based on your specific physical situation.Ī more definitive approach to this problem are IR laser beam sensors, these are two part devices, consisting of a transmitter and a receiver array of multiple beams, these are pretty much fool proof when used out doors.ĭue to physical and aesthetic constraints I am not able to use these, so I’m left with this proof of concept plaything that I’ve built.Īs far as cameras go, these days most security cameras have their own built-in motion sensors. So now I’m testing out a 1 second window, should that not detect any real motion events, then I’m going to have to move my sensors around and try again. With the two second window I got one false positive, where normally I would have received 10 during the day and 1 or two at night. In my case, this solution with two sensors, and a window of 2 seconds has reduced (but not eliminated) the false positives. In any case, my locations aren’t going to work for you, unless you live in the house next door! There is no simple 100% solution for this, and the location(s) of my sensors are sill a work in progress. With this change, Minimum Active Threshold is a user-configurable value that defines the minimum number of motion detectors that need to go active in the zone within the activation window, in order for the zone to be considered active. Previously, all motion detectors in the zone were required to go active within the activation window, in order for the zone to be considered active. Implementation of a new user-configurable threshold, Minimum Active Threshold, used for the False Motion Reduction zone type. If your get integration isn’t working the repo is here: There are two files in Apps, and one device type. This app has been updated for Git integration. The child app will be named ‘ Zone Controller’Ī virtual motion sensor will be created and named ‘mZone-’ You do not install zoneMotionChild directly, this is done automatically for you. Once published, go to the marketplace, My Apps and select “Zone Motion Manager” simulatedMotionSensor, is the virtual device template for the motion detector zoneMotionChild, is the zone automation child smartApp Zone Motion Manager, is the parent application smartApp Reinstall the app from the app store.Three components need to be installed and published in your account: This can help complete any updates that may have stalled in the background. Power the device off completely and wait at least 10 seconds before powering it back on. Install any new updates for the app and device. Run an update check on your mobile device, as well as on its app store. Tap the three “Menu” lines at the top left corner of the app screen and scroll until you reach “Log Out.” Close the app after signing out and restart it to sign back in. If possible, temporarily close all running apps on the device. Close the app, so it's no longer running in the background of your mobile device. ![]() Be sure to check to see if the app is working after each step: If the device is not the problem, follow these steps, one at a time, to return your app to working order. But if you are having trouble using your app-perhaps it’s freezing, reporting failed updates, or showing an incorrect system status-here are some simple troubleshooting steps.įirst, make sure your mobile device is working properly. If you discover an obviously damaged sensor, replacing it will typically solve the problem.įrontpoint Security’s top-rated mobile app makes it easy to stay connected to your home from anywhere-controlling your security system and any connected smart devices in a convenient interface. Windows that loosen in their frames can also allow enough movement to hit and break a transmitter. Sagging doors can rub on the frame and the transmitter. Windows can also loosen in their frames and close at different places than they did when they were new. Over time, doors can sag or warp, moving sensor pieces out of alignment. They can also be knocked loose by rubbing or striking other parts of a door or window. The sticky adhesive used to attach the pieces of the sensor can dry out, causing them to come loose. If a window isn’t closed all the way, the magnet can’t line up with the transmitter. This happens quite often, especially with sliding windows. If it’s not caused by a security breach, reasons can include: A “faulted zone” happens whenever a sensor activates in an installed system. ![]()
