Wireless Sensor Motion Detection and HomeKit Notifications
I recently switched from a Honeywell T9 with remote sensors (remote temperature, humidity and motion detection) and the sensors on the Honeywell reported motion via HomeKit almost instantly and it was very accurate.
I was expecting the same with the Ecobee but I’m finding that the motion notifications are often noticeably delayed. Also, it doesn’t seem nearly as accurate. Unless there are ghosts roaming my house, I get random notifications and the only thing that is going on in that room is the TV is on.
Questions:
- Is my experience unique or is this typical, especially when it comes to the slow response/notifications via HomeKit?
- How does it sense motion?
- What is the polling rate?
