Resetting Ring Alarm Motion Detector (1st Gen) After it Triggers

Motion Detector (1st Gen) has a built-in function called "dwell time." Dwell time means that after a Motion Detector is tripped it will need a three-minute period in which it detects no motion in order to "reset" back to its default detection mode. This prevents the sensor from sending out multiple alerts for the same motion. 

To reset the Detector, clear the detection area of anything that might create motion (such as you, your kids, or your pets) for a full three minutes.
