Re: ESP "Infinite" Wireless Security Alarm

["Petem" <petem001@xxxxxxxxx>]

that's normal operation of the detector to save battery life..

the detector will report a movement then go to a coma state for around 4
minute then will come back to life and start monitoring for movement,if
there is no movement the detector will be alive until a movement occur,then
it will transmit the alarm and shot down for another 4 minute,that's to
prevent the detector to transmit every time you move inside your house will
the system is disarm...

of course if you have no door contact that mean that there is no protection
after leaving your house up to 4 minute after you left...
