WiFi Motion is a feature in the Xfinity app that uses existing WiFi-connected devices to detect motion in your home by analyzing signal disruptions between the gateway and devices. The service requires specific Xfinity gateways, stationary always-on devices, and offers customizable sensitivity settings to filter out pet motion and adjust detection levels. Users can activate the feature through the Xfinity app, select up to three suitable devices, and configure notifications through Home and Away modes.
