Motion Sensor scheduling

Hi, i’ve got a question regarding the eufy Motion sensor (T8910). I saw an online review about it and it says:

It works well, but it has a major flaw in a system; there is no way to switch it off/on only in the device app, with other devices still working. So if it is in the Lounge, I want to stop it sending out motion detections to my phone app, when at home, and leaving my cameras and doorbell still working.

i am missing something or i can’t “detach” the eufy sensor from the Homebase schedule?
because i need to put the sensor inside my letterbox and receive a notification every time someone opens it and puts a letter inside, so it has to be active all day long.

You can enable or disable it in a security profile like this:

Just make sure that the profile which enables or disables the sensor is active when you want it to.

ok, but is there a possibility to enable the motion sensor even if the homebase (and the linked cameras) is disarmed? (not active)

Well no, ‘disarmed’ disables everything. You can create a profile which only has the motion sensor enabled.

yes an additional “custom” profile added to the schedule is the only way to do it.
thank you
