MR60FDA2 - two issues: 1) not reliably detecting fall and 2) device says that a still person is not present

Thanks for the tips.

I have not had the LED on. It’s kinda neat to play with, but I am not convinced that there is a lot of practical value in that feature.

  • I have replaced the power supply with a (hopefully) clean power block and will test some more.
  • It’s hard to change the ambient temp, and in any case, I need it to work at least up to ~25C…
  • I will check the orientation if the power doesn’t help.

Do you know what the Height Threshold and Sensitivity control exactly? I have looked in the code, and the Sensitivity numbers are translated to larger numbers, e.g. {1, 2, 3} = {3, 15, 30}, but not sure exactly what these represent… number or readings/frames to average over? Higher number is more sensitive?

FYI, the other unit is a C1001 from DFRobot. I built a custom component for HA for it, but it seems to be quite unreliable. Maybe as I gain more experience with this unit, that one will make more sense…

Thanks again.
