That's great! All you need to do to open the gate is reach over in front of the outdoor sensor and wave your hand... Nice! simplicity often undermines security. I would have mounted the motion sensor some distance in from the gate.

Yeah. I soon relocated it to the low post inside. It's still working out great!

Thank you very much for the share, it is very helpful. I also bought these outdoor motion sensor and use it for similar application. However, the apps always shows "motion detected" and the "Time to enter No-Motion state" suddenly change to a huge number (by default it is 1 minutes only), although it does not affect the function but it is quite annoying.
@danaparish16442 ай бұрын
I would MOVE that sensor (if possible) so that someone from outside isn’t able to activate that gate from the outside. As it is, someone can reach over and activate the motion alarm to open gate and get onto your property. Just a thought.

Hi there, that was quite interesting. Just a quick question... The sensor is situated at the gate itself. Is it possible that someone could stand at the gate and wave their hand over the sensor in order to gain access to the property? Or have you set up a routine between certain times only? Brilliant suggestion though, thank you.

The sensor is mounted with a tie strap, for sure it’s just for the sake of demonstration only of how you can use the sensor differently, otherwise it defeats the security. If it’s permanent, then yes, what is Todd thinking.

I added a line to the routine so that Alexa tells you when the sensor is tripped so I don’t have to watch the monitor. We have the reverse setup but when the Blink sensor is tripped she says “Someone is at the front door” and then takes the live feed for 1 minute.
