Occupancy Routine Triggers Too Easily
Different types of motion in a room might trigger Occupancy Routines.
To minimize false starts for your Occupancy Routines, try some of these suggestions.
- Adjust the Sensitivity and/or Range settings in the Alexa mobile app (Device > Settings > Ultrasound Motion Detection).
- Adjust the angle of your Echo device away from curtains, blinds, fans, or other items that might frequently move.
- Place your Echo device away from sound sources, such as speakers, air conditioners, machinery, or televisions.
- Place your Echo device away from air flow sources, such as HVAC vents or fans.
- Place your Echo device higher or further away from areas where pets often travel or are active.
- Try adjusting the time settings on your Routine to be more specific to the time of day you want your Routine to start.
