Motion sensor false alarm

[richkut]

After going through a number of defective motion sensors (false triggering when absolutely NO motion was present), I finally settled on one detector that works! I now know what causes false positives on my sole motion detector–SUNLIGHT!! The last time I experienced a false trigger was when I was at a funeral yesterday afternoon–I felt two sets of cell phone buzzing, and looking at my phone I saw the calls were coming from Noonlight–YIKES!! Answering and whispering to the agent, I quickly moved to the back of the room and whispered it probably was a false alarm, to cancel it, and I would look at all my cams to confirm everything was okay (and it was!). When I got home I looked at the recorded footage of my great room at the time where the alarm triggered, and lo and behold I observed that rays of sunshine had moved across my fireplace mantle and struck the motion detector sensor, which triggered the alarm! So caveat emptor, these Wyze motion sensors will trigger when hit with direct light. I now recall that this happened about a year ago when we were out of town. It ONLY happens to us during the part of the year when the sun is low in the southwest quadrant (and when we even get sunlight, in short supply in northern Ohio during this period). I now have moved the sensor so that it still faces into the great room but no direct sunlight can ever hit it. Has anyone else experienced sunlight (or other light) triggering your motion sensors?
