SmartThings Presence Sensor Range?

Here’s my concern.

I’m in a wheelchair. Once we get to my bus stop, it can take the driver anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes to actually get the lift set up and me down to the sidewalk.

My house has a self locking doorlock

If the presence sensor triggers the door to unlock when the bus arrives at my stop, which is across the street and almost a block away, the door will have locked itself again by the time I get home, defeating the purpose of a presence sensor.

Nor do I want the door to remain unlocked the whole time I’m waiting at the bus stop for the bus to arrive.

So for me, there’s a huge difference in functionality between a presence sensor that activates at 100 feet and one that activates at 400 feet.

This is the blog entry that says “50 to 100 feet”:

The description in the shop says a range of “30 to 50 feet.”

So why is the range bubble in the app at a minimum of 500? Is there some parameter I missed?
