Why does my motion sensor have trouble detecting motion in hot rooms?

[JasonLee]

Motion sensors can sometimes struggle in high-temperature environments, like a room at 97°F (36°C). This is often because the sensor's sensitivity can decrease as the temperature nears the human body temperature. Here's how you can boost your sensor's performance:

• Cool Down the Area: Try using air conditioning or a fan to reduce the room's temperature. This can significantly improve the sensor's ability to detect movement.
• Optimize Placement: Make sure your motion sensor isn't in direct sunlight or near heat sources, such as radiators or electronics that generate heat. Re-positioning it away from these areas will help prevent false alarms and improve detection accuracy. By following these steps, you can ensure your motion sensor continues to work reliably, even when the room gets warm.
