Unwanted motion alerts since last platform update

I think there are 2 different issues

  1. This thread - talks about motion events happening when there IS motion, but notification and or actions are taking place when they shouldn’t be due to mode restrictions
  2. And this thread False motion alert by ST motion sensor! Hope so Which might more accurately describe @Jmeyer66 's report. Where notification should happen but there is question as to whether motion actually occurred.

Regarding adding a camera. I think its a great thing to have so you can verify issues and or record them when they happen. I like to use their notifications separately even though they are tied into ST. Sort of a fail safe to have two separate systems that can notify you of an issue.
