Flux 2 Response Device

We have been looking forward to buying the Flux 2 Response Device from Ghoststop.com and we finally got ours.

It can detect motion and based on green or red lights show you which side of the device detected motion, varying tones to indicate distance of the motion, and it also has a temperature monitor to let you know if the temperature has gone up or down. It can detect motion at varying distances ranging from about 1ft to 7ft away from the device based on the mode you set it. It has a rechargeable battery which should last about 10 hours on a full charge, and it can also be powered via the MicroUSB port for continuous operation.

Taken right from Ghoststop.com’s website this how you interpret the lights and sounds.

  • Blue pulsing lights = Flux is scanning for changes (no changes present)
  • Green with scaling short low tone = motion on the left side of the device
  • Red with scaling short high tone = motion on right side of the device
  • Green with long high tone = temperature drop
  • Red with long low tone = temperature rise
  • Response lights will remain on for 20 seconds to indicate that a response has recently taken place. This is in case you do not see the initial response. This will reset after 20 seconds unless it is interrupted again.


Setting it up is easy, make sure it’s charged first and select a location with nothing in what Ghoststop calls the Area Of Influence (based on the range you set it to). When you first power it on, it lights up blue, then will start flashing a color to indicate the range you have it to. When it’s base lined itself the LEDs will start to slowly pulse blue indicating it is ready.

When it detects motion, it lights up the side which it detected motion in the “area of influence” Green for the one side, red for the other accompanied with varying tones to indicate how far away from the device the motion was that it detected. The side which detected motion stays illuminated for 20 seconds after motion which it detected has stopped, but the tones stop immediately. If no motion has been detected for 20 seconds, the light returns to slowly flashing blue.

Due to the shape of the device the motion sensors are angled slightly upwards, which makes it’s perfect for setting on the ground.

This seems to be a perfect setup to do question and answer sessions which you can ask Yes/No, Male/Female, Over/Under type questions.

Here’s a quick test of it in a controlled environment.

Now that test is all well and good, it’s easy for any motion sensor to detect a sold hand, but how would it do with something less solid like vapor? Well it seems to handle that perfectly. You can see it detecting various amount of vapor on each side at different distances.


Conclusion: The Flux 2 response device looks like it’s going to be a welcomed tool in our toolbox.
