Is the sensor sensitive to movement from pets?

yes the motion detector is sensitive to pets you have to adjust it trial an error

Lol. Yes. They're very sensitive. You can adjust motion sensitivity, though. Mone triggers for insects, so mice shouldn't be an issue.

If the animal happens to pass in the motion sensor's field, yes, the light will be activated. Even plants moving in the wind activate the light.

Never thought about that part, but I would assume you could turn the sensitivity all the way down so it does not detect movement.

You would need to place the receiver outside the path of the animal. There is no sensitivity setting. I place all of my alarms 24" to 30" above the floor, in a place the animals can not access. Hope this helps.

This is a motion detector, yes it will read through most outside walls and bark when someone approaches, however, if there is movement around the unit it will react then too.

Yes. But it may prove annoying as, if the dog is in and out constantly, it would be going off each time as it is sensitive to motion. If the dog is housed and infrquentlly goes in and out of the door it would be fine, I think.

Yes, this is a motion sensor alarm. It will probably pick up motion from your dog, unless you set it high enough that it doesn't cover the area all the way to the floor.I don't have any pets, so I can't say for sure, but I believe it will sense the body heat and motion of your dog.Hope this helps you.

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.

The motion sensor is pretty sensitive. I have two dogs so I put it up on the counter to avoid them setting it off too much.

Anything that moves within the sensor range will set off the alarm that is the whole point of a motion sensor. Yes it is sensitive to small animals, som cats are pretty big when they stretch out. So, my answer is yes, yes yes. good luck. You do have the option of pointing the sensor where the cants won't be if you have location in your home or garage like that. Hope this helps. PS I love the motion detectors over the window alarms as you can cover so much more space with one unit and easier to install.

I have a LARGE dog - and it does go off when I have my dog out on my patio (where I have the unit). I have to block it while he is out there. It is sensitive, but NOT too much so. Haven't had any 'false' rings.

I have my set at our side fence entrance, where our dogs like to welcome "Dad" home after work. Yes, the dogs running up to the fence have set off the sensors. These are big shepherds, too.

The motion sensors are designed to ignore animals weighing less than 40 pounds. I have an English Springer Spaniel who weighs about 43 pounds and since my sensors are mounted near the ceilings, she does not set them off, however, she does not get up on any furniture. If you need any more info, I suggest you call SimpliSafe. They are very responsive to all inquiries.

Yes, you can adjust the sensitivity. And for me it keeps dogs out of my yard and also worked last summer in keeping bears away from my garbage cans.

Ours responds to cars, people and large animals such as deer. It does not seem to read squirrels, tree or shrub movement. But that said I wouldn't have trees or shrubs close to the sensor. We trimmed a red bud to be sure its limps didn't interfere.

Your going to need the other motion sensors, they are "pet" friendly and are designed to not go off with smaller pets. I believe that is another package with those units, they are only about $5 more each.
