7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your eMACROS Smart Driveway Alarm, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No alarm/notification when motion is detected. | Sensor battery low; sensor out of range; receiver unplugged; app notifications disabled. | Ensure sensor solar panel is clean and receiving sunlight. Move sensor closer to receiver. Check receiver power. Enable app notifications. |
| False alarms (alarm sounds without apparent motion). | Sensor placed too close to moving objects (trees, bushes); strong winds; small animals. | Adjust sensor angle or relocate to an area with less interference. Consider adjusting sensitivity settings in the app if available. |
| Poor range/intermittent connection. | Obstructions (walls, dense foliage); excessive distance between sensor and receiver. | Reduce distance between units. Minimize obstructions. Consider a repeater if available for extended range. |
| App connectivity issues. | Receiver not connected to Wi-Fi; incorrect Wi-Fi password; router issues. | Verify receiver's Wi-Fi connection. Re-enter Wi-Fi credentials in the app. Restart your Wi-Fi router. Ensure 2.4GHz network is used. |
