Ecolink PIR Motion

I have recently purchased an Ecolink PIR Motion Detector to use with my sensors and SHM. Recently on a trip, the alarm kept going off due to the motion detector, yet there was nobody home, including pets. I was thinking I need to reduce the sensitivity.

Any ideas why this would be? What can I do to prevent this, as we are heading back on vacation in a few days.

Thank you in advance.

Is the motion sensor pointed at a heat source? That will cause false positives.

Not really… its about 8’ up on a 10’ wall… no vents or heat sources nearby.

I’m trying to remember if I had any issues. I used to have a couple of them until I replaced them with IRIS sensors. Is it pointed at a window, or can it see the sun during the course if the day? Temperature changes are what set these off. IE, your body heat.
