Floodlight Pro: Smart Detection Challenges & Shelly Dimmer 2 Experience

As a new homeowner, I’ve been exploring ways to enhance my outdoor security with smart devices. I recently upgraded to the Floodlight Pro, hoping it would be a reliable deterrent with its advanced AI features. However, I’ve encountered some unexpected challenges with the Smart Detection feature. While it works well for detecting moving vehicles, it tends to re-trigger constantly if there’s a parked car in the frame, even with minor disturbances like wind or insects. I’ve adjusted the sensitivity settings, but finding the right balance has been tricky. I’d love to hear if others have similar experiences or tips for optimizing the AI detection settings.

On a more positive note, I’ve had great success with my Shelly Dimmer 2 setup. It’s been a game-changer for controlling my outdoor lighting. However, I recently encountered an issue where one of my Shelly Dimmers stopped responding to commands. After verifying that the device itself works fine via the REST API, I’m curious if anyone else has faced similar issues or has advice on troubleshooting this. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Lastly, I’m reaching out to the community for advice on my APC Smart-UPS RT 6000, which has been randomly shutting down all outputs without warning. It’s a critical component of my home’s power backup system, and resolving this issue is a priority. If anyone has encountered similar problems or has suggestions, I’d be grateful for your input.

Overall, I’m excited about the potential of these devices to enhance my home’s security and convenience, and I’m eager to connect with others who share my enthusiasm for smart home technology!
