-- Xfinity Internet has introduced Wi-Fi Motion, a newly released feature designed to add motion detection capabilities through the existing home Wi-Fi network. This functionality utilizes the Xfinity Advanced Gateway to transform the home network into a motion-sensing system. By analyzing disruptions in Wi-Fi signals between the gateway and compatible connected devices, Wi-Fi Motion creates motion detection zones within the household environment.
Wi-Fi Motion does not require any additional hardware or sensor installation. The feature is powered entirely by the interactions between the Advanced Gateway and stationary Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as televisions, smart appliances, and gaming consoles. Once set up, motion within these signal pathways is detected as variations in the Wi-Fi signal, allowing the system to register activity and notify the user accordingly.
To activate Wi-Fi Motion, users must have the Xfinity Advanced Gateway, model XB7 or newer. The gateway must be connected to at least one stationary Wi-Fi device to function properly. Up to three devices can be paired to establish separate motion detection zones within the home. The feature is not automatically enabled and must be manually configured through the Xfinity app. Once active, the system can be customized by adjusting motion sensitivity levels and setting time-based alert schedules to suit specific household routines.
Wi-Fi Motion supports filtering to reduce false alerts by identifying and ignoring non-critical motion sources such as pets or inanimate objects. These customization options aim to enhance the feature’s accuracy while minimizing unnecessary disruptions. The service generates motion alerts that are viewable in the Xfinity app, offering an additional method of home monitoring for individuals who want increased awareness of movement in their living space.
This feature does not replace traditional home security systems. It does not offer professional monitoring, emergency response integration, or camera-based surveillance. Wi-Fi Motion serves as a supplemental layer of in-home activity awareness, reliant on the positioning of the gateway and associated devices. Effectiveness may vary depending on the layout of the home and placement of equipment. Optimal performance requires deliberate setup and configuration.
Xfinity Internet emphasizes that Wi-Fi Motion is privacy-conscious by design. Data collected through motion detection remains accessible only to the user and is not transmitted to Xfinity. Users retain full control over activation and deactivation of the feature, with motion tracking occurring only when the feature is actively enabled through the app.
Wi-Fi Motion is available to eligible Xfinity Internet customers at no additional charge, provided the home setup meets compatibility requirements. The rollout of this feature reflects the broader role of home internet services in supporting smart functionality beyond basic connectivity.

Xfinity Internet continues to develop tools that integrate with the evolving needs of connected households, offering services designed to complement the digital lifestyles of modern consumers.
