Truly sorry this happened to you...
I agree with the above don't change your programming to get around sensors not sticking. Fix the sensors. Check em and fix em and chalk the false alarm up to a test of your system where everything worked as designed, use it as an opportunity to think about what you and your family would do if it had been real, and try to take comfort in the system working and you now having a plan to deal with it.
Maybe also think about bolstering your security, how did they get it, reinforce that and other weak points, maybe even document all of your belongings for insurance purposes, etc. Even if you only take small actions it can help you and your family gain back the feeling of control and some peace of mind...
