I know that a lot of people love the Xiaomi motion sensors. I recently retired about 10 of them from my environment. Although they were working well, I decided to move on to Iris as I had some serious mesh issues going on. We wont pull that band-aid off again. Anywho - I just wanted to communicate t…

One more question: Can the sensitivity be adjusted on the Iris V2? I currently have a GE/Jasco motion sensor, and had to tune that down for the pets/cats in the house.

No. Here is a shot of the driver page. [image]
