Phantom target when I'm just beyond the edges of the sensor angle range #228
Comments
I wonder, does this phantom target move at all? |
Yes, it does. It will hunt around a bit, just like a "normal" target does where it's re-estimating the centre of the movement. It will try to follow me if I'm moving, but it's a very small window where this issue is happening, so it will lose me pretty quickly. |
Does it happen when the installation angle is 0? |
Yes, it does happen with installation angle of zero. This issue was also happening before that update. I hadn't reported it because I wasn't sure at that point whether it was my automations which were the issue. After I started using the dashboard map it's a lot easier to visualise what is going on. |
At first your issue looked similar to what I have, especially when you've said about this getting happen when you're leaving area, because that's the only thing I suspected in my case. But then again you've said the phantom moves and I don't think my does. |
At the very edge of the angular range I'm getting the presence detected on the wrong side of the sensor. So if I'm standing at roughly 60-65 degrees, where the sensor has lost sight of me, the sensor starts showing me as being somewhere in the range of -45 to -65 degrees.
In the screenshot attached I show where the sensor is showing the target, and showing my approximate actual location as a red circle.
After I realised what is going on I've tested this on both my EPLs in different locations and it seems to be a problem on both. At first I thought there might be something small moving causing the issues. But after moving the sensors around and retesting I believe I've ruled that out. The sensors will consistently show targets in completely empty parts of the room. I've tested this is very repeatable once you know roughly where to stand.
The sensors appear to work absolutely fine with everything actually within the sensor range, and I can see targets on the maps moving as expected. This is only happening just beyond the sensor range, but unfortunately this means my automations are triggering incorrectly.
