V2 Motion sensor sensitivity?

Can someone please explain to me the three different sensitivity options on the Wyze motion sensor V2? What is the difference between low and high sensitivity?

As I recall when I tested the sensitivity on mine over a year ago:

  • I think on low it would detect me around 8 feet away
  • and on high I could get it to detect me from over 25 feet away.

I believe that basically setting it to low requires more heat sensed to trigger and high requires less heat sensed to trigger.

Keep in mind that when you change the setting, it doesn’t update to the new setting immediately. You may have to wait a while before it communicates with the hub again and switches over to the new sensitivity range.
