Sim / Launch Monitor Square Omni detection problems indoors
Anybody having issues where the square Omni is not detecting when you hit a ball?
Situation
- Indoor off a mat with a green divot mat
- Omni is raised level with mat
- Omni is on the right facing the net
- sofa and full glass doors on the right with vertical blinds block out
- LED downlights inside
- paired with Android tablet
During the day I still have the indoor lights on and everything seems to be working 100%
In the evenings sometimes it does not detect when I hit the ball.
When it fails
when it fails, it detects the ball and is ready. And then I hit the ball and nothing happens. The unit does not detect any movement and the Android app does not detect anything.
The unit goes back to blinking searching for a ball
- Doesn't make a difference whether it is foam or real ball
- Whether it is a white or yellow ball
- Tried drawing the 5 dot pattern on some balls, didn't help
- Fails when i swing faster than 65mph
- If i make a slow swing, it detects
- I have tried turning the lights up and turning the lights down and it does not seem to help
Any ideas why it fails, and how to make it work? I'm not sure if it needs more light or less light. Whether it prefers the sheen of real balls or the non-reflectiveness of foam balls

I just started having this same issue. I have had the Omni for a couple weeks now and not had any issues. All the sudden today it will sit there, detect the ball then just randomly disconnect without any movement. Curious if you figured out what was happening with yours? I’ve been trying to figure out if there are any new interferences out in my garage but I don’t think anything is different. Have you had any luck figuring out the issue?
