Essential XL 2nd Motion Detection sensitivity

Having a hard time my spotlight keeps turning on and off detecting flying insects. Reduced sensitivity level and motion detection is set for people. Any suggestions.

Where did you reduce the motion sensitivity? It has to be in your modes and rules.

The People detection is only for Smart Notifications, not for actual detection.

I reduced it under the default mode settings of the camera. Rules not sure what that is. Am I in the right section for reducing motion sensitivity?

Default mode settings is the right place. But you should take the time to understand what rules are.
