One of my Elk's wireless sensors just stopped reporting its state. I always says Normal.
This sensor is inside a security cage. Whenever the door was opened, I had a rule that would trigger a discreet anouncement (time of day).
What I dont undesrtand I why the M1 never noticed that this sensor was missing - why it insists that the corrrect status is Normal.
Initially, when I test-installed the sensor I assumed that the cage would isolate 100% of the communication (because of all the metal) and the panel would trigger a trouble, but this didnt happen, so i just got it working.
So what I think that really happened is that the sensor battery got low, but the sensor trouble never reached the panel because the sensor was inside the cage. Now the sensor battery is dead and the sensor cannot report the status to the M1.
What worries me is learning that the m1 cannot determine the missing sensor unless the sensor reports the trouble. Have you found anything similar?
