Title: sensors dissable when cold
Post by: Pastor Pedro on December 22, 2004, 01:20:53 PM

When the outside temperature falls below
freezing, the sensors disable in the garage
as well as the house front door, but not
the back.  It is strange...replacing
batteries, etc., doesn't produce a
change...so far.  Any suggestions?

You may want to try a set of Lithium
Batteries as they can take colder
temperatures, but the sensors may not be
rated for below freezing conditions. I know
other items like wall switches and modules
have a rating of 32F on the low side.

Thanks, Brian.  I'll try them in one, and
do some checking on different sensors.
Have a great day!
