Stairs on left with height 8ft
Need suggestions to cover whole gaurage.
@skpatel0211 To cover your double car garage effectively, here are some suggestions based on Aqara motion sensor installation guidelines:
First, note that the recommended installation height for Aqara motion sensors is 1.2 m to 2.1 m (about 3.9 ft to 6.9 ft). Installing above 2.1 m may lead to blind spots in the detection area, while heights below 1.2 m will reduce the detection range. Since your garage ceiling is 18 ft (≈5.5 m) high—far above the recommended range—mounting sensors directly on the ceiling could result in significant coverage gaps.
For the stairs (8 ft/≈2.4 m high), consider installing sensors at the recommended height (1.2–2.1 m) on nearby walls. This ensures the detection lens aligns with the area of movement, avoiding blind spots. For broader garage coverage, position additional sensors along the walls at the same height, leveraging the wide 170° detection angle and 7 m (23 ft) range of models like the Motion Sensor P2 to maximize coverage.
Ensure the installation surface is clean and dry, and align the sensor lens toward the main activity areas (e.g., near car parking spots). Avoid metal surfaces or obstructions that could block detection.
If you need further customization for your specific layout, feel free to share more details (e.g., sensor model) or contact the Aqara Home App Customer Service Team (Profile> Help & Feedback > Customer Service) for tailored advice.
