Including a sticky back on the new motion sensors, just like the contact sensors was a great move by Wyze. However, just like any peel & stick application, moving them more than a few times renders the sticky foam unusable. I’ve been using this reusable sticky tape material and it works awesome! [http://bit.ly/2JXgiH6](http://bit.ly/2JXgiH6) (This is a Scotch brand version that comes in tabs, but you can also just search on for “reusable tape” or “washable tape” which comes in rolls of various widths. ) It’s about 2mm thick, a bit like the foam that comes on the sensors. It’s clear, removable, washable/reusable, and very sticky. It feels a lot like those pads you can buy for your dashboard to set your phone on. I bet it would work great on the magnet coins that come with Wyze Cams. I’ll give it a shot and see. Pro Tip: Once you lose your sticky and move to this solution, peel off all of the original foam first so you get a good grip. ---

a lot of us have used ( with amazing results) 3M command strips too. One difference I see is that the one you posted states it for for lightweight options, and depending how or where you mount what ever you are mounting, be that a sensor or a pan cam, you might want something a tad stronger. upside to the command strip is you can buy what will work best for the situation. I found this on their website ![command](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/2X/e/e9bc9731058cdaaefeb01523a3bb9785a1f765cf.png) ---

Cool. Thanks for that. I’ll remove my idea. ---

You don’t have to remove it. There are so many things to do with wyze products it’s completely within reason to think that your product would work better in a multitude of situations for people, and if anyone would find those uses it would be this community ---

I’m with @Bam on this. The more ideas the better for the community. We all learn from each other. 🙂
