Is anyone having random false alarms? Last week a motion sensor went off twice in the middle of the night. I unpaired it and reconnected it but it did not fix the issue. The next, day I switched my w motion sensors around and I have not had a false alarm since. Not sure how or why. Then tonight I had a false alarm on a door sensor with no one touching it. Is there known sources of interference that could be messing with the system?
Hey @Armored813 ! False alarms can be caused by Motion or Contact sensors that are not setup or installed correctly. Frequent causes of false alarms include:
- Not including entry/exit delays
- Not mounting devices securely to the wall
- Environmental factors, such as mounting a Motion Detector across from a heat source
- Incorrectly setting the Motion Detector motion sensitivity settings
- Arming in Away mode when you’re at home

Yes! We have had 2 false alarms in 2 weeks. Both stating motion in our family room. We have mived the motion detector away from the heat source for the room but alas…we just got notified 5 mins ago that our alarm is going off. No clue at thia point.
One of my motion detectors false alarmed early this monring. It was installed a year ago. No changes to system or environment. Why it went off this morning is a mystery. The room was empty. Void of all motion. No pets. I did check the battery level…it is fine.
