Re: Failure rate of window / door magnetic sensors

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep. The problem was it was a builder system and ADT can hit the homeowners
faster than we could even though we were the builder's low voltage
contractor. ADT get's info from closing reports, we can't afford that...and
somehow they were also getting phone numbers before they were even
listed...dunno how, maybe they bribed the sales people.

On this particular one it didn't matter, because after all the brew-ha-ha
blew over the homeowner realized what idiots they were and I got the sale
anyway. ADT never got to install anything...because they weren't "allowed
to" ! According to them WE were suppposed to go and fix it before they would
install (the homeowner thought this was dumb too). If they were smart they
would have installed their equipment and waited a couple of days to go back
and fix the switches, but they didn't...so we got it.

| Why did the client have ADT come in?  Sounds like the customer got
