Plume HomePass® Sense

Home Motion™ uses SuperPods and the Wi-Fi connected devices in your home to detect motion. It’s a smart motion detection system that also informs you when family members or guests arrive or leave your home. 

How does HomePass Sense Work?

Sense™ detects the disturbances in Wi-Fi signals between your SuperPods or between a SuperPod™ 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. 

What would I use Home Motion for? 

• Receive notifications when your children get home from school or when a spouse leaves for/returns from work
• Receive alerts if there’s unexpected motion in the home while you’re away (i.e. a break-in). 
• Home Motion also sets the stage for future innovation such as integration with smart home platforms. The possibilities for the future are endless! 

How to Enable:

• Activity is located at the bottom of the Home screen. Under the Motion tab, press the toggle button to turn on Motion.
• After initialization, the system will enter a passive state to learn the baseline of your home. It will detect motion between SuperPods, and begin enabling devices as sensors 10 minutes later.

Assigning a Primary Device:

Each person can have a primary device assigned to their profile. That primary device’s connections and disconnections from the network determines if they show up as being at home, which is also important for managing Motion alerts. You should always choose a device they are not likely to leave home without and that will always stay powered. Smartwatches that connect to Wi-Fi or mobile phones are ideal. 

• Tap on the People icon and choose a person. Ensure the device in question is already assigned to that person.
• If a primary device has not been set, the Assign primary device notification will be shown. Tap on this option to see a list of devices assigned to the current profile. 
• Choose a primary device (swipe left and right) and tap on Assign as primary to save.

App Settings:

• Here you can also choose to disable devices to be used as motion sensors, update the sensitivity settings, and enable Pet mode to help prevent pets from triggering notifications. 
• Under Settings and Notifications, you can enable “Motion alerts” to automatically arm or disarm the home when all people leave and return and change the frequency of alerts you receive.
