RE: Different false alarms

["Paul" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

The only environmental factors are the bugs and warmer weather. Do PIR
related false alarms happen more in warm weather??? Other sensors have not
caused a problem (smoke and door sensors). Not sure about the double knock
bit though.

Hmmm ,

It's quite concerning that these are all on separate zones - and
have only just started - makes me think something 'global' has changed -
possibly your little bugs - have a peek in a sensor,  but again this would
normally manifest itself on one zone first. Try dropping the sensitivities
a
little - if this changes things then it points in a certain direction. Does
the weather have any effect on this ??
It is possible that the panel could be causing issues - are the
faults consistently on PIR's or has any other type of zone tripped ever -
assuming you have other types - are the offending zones in any way related
(
if you have any expansion units on the alarm for example).  I am not
familiar enough with Comfort to know if there is a 'double knock' facility
available on each zone - I suspect there is and I think this is what you
want to try setting rather than the perimiter zone approach - although
perhaps this is how Comfort does it.
