Possible Solution to Malfunctioning Motion Sensor

DESCRIPTION

 

I've had Xfinity Home for one month and experienced two false alarms triggered by one of the motion sensors while in the Armed Away mode.  I discovered on the Xfinity Home app that motion detector values are provided. The detector in question showed 32 degrees, 0.00 volts, and N/A for signal strength.

 

I tried doing a live chat on the Home support website and one of the first questions was, "Have you tried reinstalling the Home app?"  Knowing the Home app has nothing to do with a malfunctioning sensor generating false alarms, I ended the discussion thinking I could find a solution faster than someone reading computer-prompted questions.

 

SOLUTION

 

I opened the sensor and removed/reinstalled the battery.  The sensor now shows 79 degrees, 2.90 volts, and signal strength of 100%.  I'll try using the Armed Away mode again and hope for no more false alarms.

 

If anyone who has more knowledge with this can add anything, please post a response.  Thanks!
