Title: False Alarm due to dead battery
Post by: rt on July 12, 2005, 02:59:39 PM
Hi,

This morning around 5:00AM my X10 alarm had
been tripped. When I went to check it out,
it was one of my motion sensors that had
been tripped.  When I cleared the system,
the light for that sensor on the console
was flashing as if the Motion sensor hadn't
reported in the 90 minutes(or however long
the timeframe is).  It appears the
batteries are dead in the motion sensor.
Why would this cause the alarm to sound?
Any other time the console light would only
flash?  Anyone else ever experience this?

Thank you,
