And it works great!

I started off with 1.1.7 which was terrible (false posivitives/muptiple 'ghosts'), now with 1.1.9 it seems to be fixed.

Now I'm pretty happy with the sensor. Especially creating different detection zones is a phantastic feature. It can even peek a bit in the adjacent rooms to support other motion sensors.

While I do notice a difference since the update, I’m still having a bit of ghosting. It doesn’t handle dogs as well as I’d hoped it would. He’s a big dog (100+Lbs) so it should be able to track him easily enough. I just checked and my living room FP2 thinks the dog is between the sofa and the coffee table. He’s definitely not there. He got off the sofa and left the room. Yes, he’s several inches taller than the coffee table so he should have been tracked without an issue.

Seems like my scenario is less challanging...

Have you set the sensibility to high and run the 'empty room' calibration in the app? (Don't know the exact enlish name for the option...).

I have it set to low at the moment. There are several curtains that move around a tiny bit when the A/C comes on. I haven’t run the empty room calibration yet since the update completed yesterday. I’m going to see if it learns in the background for a day or two before I try that. Let the update “settle in” if you know what I mean.
