Here are tips for making an effective Zone:
- Each Zone shouldn’t cover more than 1,500 square feet in a Residence. If you want to monitor a larger area, please consider purchasing additional kits and creating a separate Zone.
- Each Zone should only exist on 1 floor of your Residence. If the Residence is multistory, please consider purchasing extra kits for improved coverage.
- Each Zone requires a minimum of 3 sensors to operate properly. These form a triangle. The inside of the triangle is considered to be the Prime Detection Zone. If you only are using 2 sensors, you will have motion reported but the detection is weak because it’s more or less detecting along a line.
- When setting your Zone, it’s best to have your Motion Wi-Fi Sensing Plugs on different walls. This helps prevent your sensors from being in a line and having weak detection capabilities.
-
If you want to improve the coverage of a Zone, you can use another kit to add a 4th sensor to the Zone to change the Zone’s shape.
- Use the same access point on your router for each Motion Wi-Fi Sensing Plug within your Zone.
- Set your Zone where the person receiving care spends the most time. If a single Zone cannot cover the whole residence, we recommend covering the common or living area. If you have 2 Motion Zones, we recommend covering the common or living area and the primary bedroom and bathroom area of the home. This will provide the best coverage in most cases. Of course, you should adjust this coverage to fit the needs and habits of the person receiving care.
- Make sure your plugs aren’t obstructed by objects that can block or alter Wi-Fi signals.
- If you have multiple Zones, make sure they do not overlap.
