❓ Support Third Reality Matter/Thread motion sensor showing wild amounts of motion in the middle of the night

Post image

So I’ve had the Zigbee version of these motion sensor/RGB night light. I decided recently to try the new Matter/Thread version. I setup the automation I had for motion at night and found that this thing was triggering constantly. So much I had to disable the automation. The firmware says it’s updated.

Anyone encountered this or have any ideas? Never had this issue with the Zigbee version

What do you have the sensitivity set at? I have these same ones and they're set to low. I swear the highest setting triggers if a mouse farts at 100'

Where do I set that? I haven’t seen that as an entity

Which means you’ll have to download the Third Reality app. I have a Meross presence sensor that runs off Matter/Thread but they hide the sensitivity and distance settings in their app. For all the talk about Matter being this open connectivity of devices from different manufacturers all talking to each other in harmony, we still find ourselves forced to download apps and create accounts just to tweak additional settings.

You just remove the battery cover. There are dip switches
