There are several factors that affect pet sensitivity, but at this time I remember only 2 in addition to size.Mike said:On the pet immune that was referenced, is that only for BIG dogs, or in general? I, for example have 2 dogs (20 and 30lbs) should I expect trouble?
If your pet likes stepping in your furniture the sensitivity increases proportionaly to the height of the furniture. If you are pointing at stairs, it will be easier for the sensor to detect a pet that is high in the stairs.
Second is pet temperature. This depends mostly on their fur. I have a persian cat with very thick hair that do not trigger the pet inmune sensor even when she steps in the stairs, not only because she is small, but also because she appears too dim to any IR sensor. The thick hair simply does not let the heat escape.
