I’ve been working on optimizing my SmartThings setup, particularly with the Version 2 Hub. One issue I noticed was that my motion sensors were running on the cloud by default, which caused some intermittent triggering problems. After a bit of research, I discovered that changing the device type to ‘SmartSense Motion/Temp sensor’ made all my motion sensors run locally, which resolved the instability issues. This tweak has been a game-changer for my setup!
If you’re experiencing similar issues with your motion sensors, here’s how you can check and adjust the device type:
By ensuring your devices run locally, you can enjoy more reliable performance without relying on cloud connectivity. It’s a simple fix that makes a big difference!
