And it works great!

I started off with 1.1.7 which was terrible (false posivitives/muptiple 'ghosts'), now with 1.1.9 it seems to be fixed.

Now I'm pretty happy with the sensor. Especially creating different detection zones is a phantastic feature. It can even peek a bit in the adjacent rooms to support other motion sensors.

Seems like my scenario is less challanging...

Have you set the sensibility to high and run the 'empty room' calibration in the app? (Don't know the exact enlish name for the option...).

I have it set to low at the moment. There are several curtains that move around a tiny bit when the A/C comes on. I haven’t run the empty room calibration yet since the update completed yesterday. I’m going to see if it learns in the background for a day or two before I try that. Let the update “settle in” if you know what I mean.
