The Great Cat Caper
With the pandemic, my wife and I are now cat sitting Shiloh and Blu for my son-in-law and daughter, with the benefit of having them and our granddaughter every other week. (long story on the why) Today I start a little of an experiment with all of the motion sensors on the first and 2nd floor changed to the low setting and changed for home and away to secret alert only. Shiloh and Blu tip the scale at about 7 pounds so it will be interesting to see if the SS3 motion sensors will pick them up. If we go two weeks with no alerts, will consider the system "cat resistant". :-) Will provide updates every few days.

So far, so good. Six motions on first floor and two on second working perfectly.

Just put the system in test mode, COPS called within seconds to confirm receipt of test signal and placed entire system in test for 30 minutes. Armed to home and proceeded to walk into each room several times, near windows, doors etc. Motions picked me up in all rooms multiple times and push alerts received in app. So far, motions get me but not the cats. So far, so good.

Basically, don't have any way for them to jump or clime close to the motion sensors. Adjust the height and sensitivity and test the snot out of it in secret mode. Have cameras in the same area so if you DO get an alert, you can see what is going on.
