Understanding and Using Plume Sense® Features
Plume Sense® uses the HTC Smart Wi-Fi pods and the Wi-Fi connected devices in your home to detect disturbances in the Wi-Fi signal between pods or between a pod and a motion capable device. These disturbances in the signal are translated into motion events, which you can use to keep yourself aware of activity in your home. When enabled you can receive alerts when your child comes home from school or a spouse leaves for/returns from work. You can receive alerts if there’s unexpected motion in the home while you’re away.
FEATURES INCLUDE
- LIVE VIEW – Take a look inside your network to see where the motion is currently happening.
- MOTION ALERTS – Receive push notifications when motion takes place, based on when people are at home.
- MOTION HISTORY – Look at Today or the last 7 days of the history of motion in your home.
- PERSONALIZATION – Plume Sense® settings can be customized to fit you, your family, and your home, including motion sensitivity, pet mode, motion alert frequency, and where motion detection is tracked in your home.
HOW TO ENABLE
- Scroll down to the SENSE® section on the Home screen of your HomePass app and tap the toggle button to turn SENSE® on to start initializing.
- After initialization, the system will enter into a passive state to learn the baseline of your home. It will detect motion between each Smart Wi-Fi pod and begin enabling devices as sensors 10 minutes later.
ASSIGNING A PRIMARY DEVICE
Each member of the household can have a primary device assigned to their profile. This device will be used to determine when you are at home or away based on when the device connects or disconnect from the network.
UNDERSTANDING MOTION DATA
Different colors will appear in your Motion Data based on your settings and activity. The degree of transparency represents the intensity of motion at the time.
- Blue – Motion was detected (System unarmed)
- Red – Motion was detected when people are away (System armed) and triggered a Sense Alert.
- Green – All people are away (System armed) and no motion is present.
- Gray – Plume Sense motion detection was turned off.
