I still see intermittent delays in only one sensor location. I’ve swapped in another sensor from a different door and the intermittent delays still occur. Therefore it does seem to be a location issue rather than an individual sensor issue.
Did you relearn the new sensor into the same zone number? What zone number is currently giving the trouble?
Back door is the trouble location
Ah, alright, just wanted to be certain it isn’t possibly related to that prior issue. It wouldn’t be. (that’s zone 62)
As a test I would try a surface contact on that door if recessed are giving trouble.
Another option, which would be more effort, but might be the best idea if that spot is being especially troublesome, is to use a wired sensor connected to a wireless transmitter.
The original sensor for that zone was a surface mount (PG9303) which worked without issue. I replaced with the recessed contact for aesthetic reasons. The wired to wireless transmitter would require the transmitter to be in plain view? I’m thinking of a sensor with an aux output that would wire to a recessed wired contact. But perhaps there is a better way?
All in all, I’m ok with the intermittent delay, mostly because even with the delay, the panel seems to acknowledge the sensor opening.
I’m thinking of a sensor with an aux output that would wire to a recessed wired contact.
Yes, that was what was meant by the suggestion of the wired sensor to the wireless transmitter. The transmitter can be hidden as much as possible, wherever you can get the wire to, although that’s going to depend on the location whether or not you can hide it.
Circling back to this-- the issue still persists to the point I feel I need to work on a resolution. Based on photos I took of the install location during building construction, it appears I’ve installed the sensor directly into a very large header over the door frame. Maybe this is causing an issue with signal transmission. Ive decided to install the sensor on the vertical edge of the frame (a few feet off the ground) to see if that resolves the issue. If not, I will probably install a wired contact, snake the wire through the wall and attach it to a wireless sensor with an aux input. I believe I could hide the wireless sensor within the interior plantation shutters to keep the clean look.
This issue seems to be resolved. Moving the sensor out of the 3ft thick header above the door and into the 3 or 4in stud/door frame allows the signal to reach the panel unimpeded. I have not noticed any signal delays as of yet.
Thank you for following up and confirming! Glad that worked for you.
Having the same issues and both my sensors are installed in the top headers. Did moving them provide a permanent fix? Any issues since?
Yes, moving them permanently fixed the signaling issue. They’ve worked perfect for almost a year now.
