Systems and techniques are provided for motion sensor adjustment. A signal indicating that motion was detected by a motion sensor may be received. A status of an HVAC system may be received from a computing device that controls the operation of vents of the HVAC system. The status of the HVAC system may include times vents of the HVAC system are operating. Using the status of the HVAC system, it may be determined that a vent of the HVAC system located in an area visible to the motion sensor was operating during the time period in which the motion sensor detected motion by correlating the time period in which the motion sensor detected motion with the times the vent was operating as indicated by the status of the HVAC system. The signal indicating that motion was detected may be ignored as a false alert and no alert may be generated.
