“Photon's motion sensor can't detect motion behind glass.”
That’s a pity. Though probably the use cases behind a window usually have access to power anyway and wouldn’t need this.

> When placed in nature, Photon's motion sensor tends to trigger often due to grass or leaves blowing in the wind, which can cause Photon's battery to deplete quickly if configured to capture a photo when motion occurs. A future software update may provide a motion-sensitivity setting to help address this scenario.
So, not behind a glass and not outside a glass. Maybe I could place it close to my front door and check who rings to me and which cats pass by? I hope that software update will happen soon. On the other side, the demo images on the Mac app page seem to be all outdoor pictures, so I wonder if excessive motion sensitivity is really an issue.

FWIW I captured those using the time-based triggering (every 30 seconds), so the motion sensor was disabled for those photos.
