How do people make their presence sensors work effectively if they have cats or dogs? I find it almost impossible.

I think you have to mount them significant lower
Are asking how to track pets or how to avoid having the sensor pickup the pets and setting off automations? Those are two very different problems

If you’re talking about false positives, as in unwanted detections… then I have same challenge and I have never really solved that in my current setup.
Update: Tried the AI learning feature as well multiple times with mixed results.

Hi @iot114 @byhomeyyz @Organizer @aram535
this can be done with the help of AI training in the presence sensor settings

Rather than mounting on the ceiling and pointing down, mount low and point up. Or if you make presence ignore zones you could make it ignore the floor. People will cross across walls much higher than pets. That’s all I’ve managed.
It would be good if they could implement something like MINIMUM SIZE for presence to trigger. Like how you can ignore a specific zone, you could ignore something that only takes up X number of zones but no more.

We only have a cat and have no problems with FP2. Like no false positives. It went through the AI learning at the beginning and after that we had no issues. I guess bigger pets can be a problem.
