A few days ago, I noticed some of my motion sensors, door/window sensors and PalmPads had become erratic; some working 100% to others not at all.
After re-starting HS, rebooting the computer and checking all the antenna connections, this morning I turned on detailed logging in ACRF2 and found unrecognized signals coming in every second drowning out almost everything else.
The last rime this happened, it was a forgotten palmpad which had gone rogue. I started there, removing batteries to try and eliminate the noise. No luck.
Next, the motion sensors... one at a time. Still nothing.
Finally, I turned to the DS-10's. After removing the batteries from about half of them, I found the screamer. I'd ignored the low battery alarm some months ago. ACRF2 had tried to warn me about it, and several others recently. The DS10 was transmitting constantly even though it's indicator showed no activity.
Had I heeded the battery warning in the first place (this calls for an event), I could have saved myself more than five hours of frustration and the time taken to re-code all the motion sensors and DS-10's I'd disabled in the process.
Lesson learned: Always pay attention to those battery alarms.
