T100 motion sensor and sliding gate
My Tapo T100 motion sensor doesn't recognise movement of driveway automatic sliding gate.
I want to make an automatic scene where lights turn on when I open the sliding gate to my driveway.
I positioned T100 in couple of locations pointed to sliding gate and in all of them sensor registers every motion except sliding gate.
Any suggestions?

The T100 uses a PIR sensor, which can only detect movement when there are significant changes in infrared radiation, for example, the heat changes when people or pets move.

@markosamarzija Perhaps putting something on the gate that will have a different heat signature than the gate material. If the gate is black for example, try something light colored. If light colored try something black. Maybe a mirror or even a bicycle reflector would work. If the gate is not a solid materal such as a wrought iron for example, hanging a sign or something might work.
