Honestly I don’t really get why people worry about timers on something like this. It’s not like it’s a space heater or something that could be a fire hazard if you forget about it. I just fill mine up in the morning and let it run until it sputters out on its own, no big deal.
I mean, I just keep mine on the bed most of the time, but when I’ve had to stash it away for guests it’s never been a hassle. The foam is so bendy it just flops into whatever space is left.
Hmm, I haven’t messed with the sensitivity slider much myself, but I can see why that would get annoying with the street traffic. For me, the false alerts haven’t been a huge deal since I mainly use it to check if the dog got off the couch, and it’s been reliable enough for that.
I keep meaning to mess around more with those zones but I haven’t really tested it that carefully. I just kind of drew a rough shape over a spot where a cat was always wandering through and it seems like it stopped, but I’m not totally sure if I got the edges right. Works fine for what I need though.
