Hang on here...

You are blaming this on an installer right off the bat.

The o.p. never said wheter he even had a dealer.

The central cannot verify where the signal came from.


Bottom line.. he has a poor central station, and possibly a poor dealer.

The mystery signal could have come from a "DIY'er" ar a pro, though like
many others i would lean more towards a diyer. or a lick and stick tech. A
pro would have tested the system and found the problem immediately. the
signal was sent in the middle of the night, another indicator that it
wasn't a pro. most of them work during the daylight.
