He doesn't have any doors.  He was here a while back with the same
problem.  He was given the panel by a friend but only got the motion -
no door contacts.  (K.White, let me know if I got any of that wrong)

We tried to help him turn off AutoStay but I guess we didn't get it.

I think the answer now would be to buy a door contact (5816) and program
it in.  You don't really even need to put it on a door - just activate
it so the motion will arm.
