Custom range missing
Not sure when this disappeared. but under the Motion Sensor> Sensitivity there was an option for Custom where I could manaully adjust the sensitivity range. This was a huge benifit as it allowed me to fine tune when the light would turn on due to activity. Now it is either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.
Please add this feature back. Thank you.

@Carl No, those setting are there. What is missing is the 'Custom' range. It allowed me to dial up to 25 feet in 1 foot increments for the sensitivity.

As checked with our team, that is the current Motion Sensor settings now. As we found the real effect of adjusting the range is pretty limited, and instead of inputting a range value setting High/ Middle/ Low sensitivity is easier for users.
Do you find the current sensitivity settings not work properly or as expected, do you think more sensitivity levels will help in your case?
I recommend going to feature request board and share your idea there, popular threads with more comments could get a chance for team (re)evaluation.
Thank you.

@Solla-topee I find it very odd that anyone getting involved in home automation would find any of this difficult. It was not as if the custom range was the only option. Users had four options to chose from, Far, Mid, Close range along with Custom in the app. Please add the Custom range option back along with the current Far, Mid, and Close range options. This was the reason I bought the product in the first place. If TP-Link is not able/willing to add this back then I will be forced to stop buying your product and invest elsewhere.

Hello @TPVader2000
as I understand that, the difficulty is how motion sensors accurately reacts to the value and also the change is perceptional to users
So far i do not see a plan to add that back anytime soon, I will record your feedback for further consideration first.
