ᐅ Are there indoor motion sensors available that do not detect pets?

Using a building management system is definitely the right approach. Why make it more complicated? If you have LED lights, the electricity consumption in the hallway for those few minutes a day is negligible.

Yes, but it’s annoying at night when the hallway light turns on. We have to keep our bedroom door slightly open so the cats can go in and out.

And in our case, I never know whether one of the children is wandering around upstairs without permission or if it’s the cats.

It’s the same for us.
1. Because of the child and 2. because of the cat (if any door is closed, trouble).

I told you, integrate powerful pattern recognition :p

Presence or motion detectors can be adjusted. Simply reduce the sensitivity until the animal is no longer detected.

There are various ways to address this "problem." It starts with the sensitivity already mentioned, includes small animal suppression, and extends to using different types of lenses.

Additionally, of course, there is recognition of whether someone is sleeping or not, and naturally, different installation options as well.

However, motion detectors are rather basic and limited in their settings and functions. Presence detectors are much more useful in this regard.
