I have no idea if this is even remotely close to what they have done but it is an example where a software change could fix a problem like this.
JSWolf it is like CTH says. The sensors have a range of output, call it 1-5. you can change the firmware to react differently to that range, and you change the timing of the reaction.

so if previously when the output was "2" the firmware did "action A" you change it to "action b" and have that change made only if the output remains 2 for a certain amount of time.
