There's no requirement to use all (or indeed any) of the 'Smart Tech bundle' and it has no affect on claims: it's frankly more of a marketing thing than a security solution. The indoor motion sensor might well be tripped by pet movement and generate spurious alerts in the paired app.

The motion sensor sits on a small rocker, that it also connects to via a magnet.

You can adjust.the motion sensor  up, down, left, right so can easily as I have done have it at a height looking down hallway, so it does not capture cats walking along the hallway at floor level.

Saying that though,  if a cat walks through like most motion sensors it will not detect them so must have some kind of mass limit like other motion sensor pair do.

Of course, a large dog may be more difficult to not capture, but not sure any motion sensor works really solves that one.

 

Both the indoor camera and doorbell have an activity zone that works well.
