It Happens Every Year....

[Bill Husler]

This week-end you say? Darn, I won't be able to confirm or deny that  
until next Month (business trip). I have one door sensor that stopped  
reporting in a couple weeks ago - I replaced the batteries and saw  
nothing in the debug log, so I replaced the entire sensor and still  
see nothing in the sensor log. I haven't been paying enough attention  
over the years, but there is definitely a periodic "funk" about the  
RF at my house.
