Doorbell motion sensitivity
Just installed ring doorbell. Set the sensitivity to people. We have a small flag (8 x 10") about 15 feet away. I get a motion detection even with the slightest breeze. I went in to change the sensitivity settings and it appears it is not a sliding scale but has predetermined positions. Set it to the first position past the far left and still having issues. Please advise.

C@RSaunders Thank you for taking the time to share those screenshots here. Have you tested the motion detection without the Motion Zones editing screen up? Having the Live View open or editing the Motion Zones is going to prevent the Ring from detecting motion as it would under normal circumstances.

ROf course, I don't expect motion sensitivity to work with the app open. I stand for 10 secs, to make sure there is no detection, then open the app, go to the screen, make the screen shot as you asked, and then close the app. Then I walk to the next place, wait 10 secs, to make sure there is no det

Wow, I'd like to get some of that. I have sensitivity set to max and I have to be within 3 feet of the doorbell to get it to trigger.Do these settings actually do anything? I have AC power to the Ring, so I have settings for frequent updates and maximum motion sensitivity with the Motion Verification turned off. Still no events are generated.
