Not much there. I removed the sensor and readded it. Set the alarm on
for the first day (today) around 9am, and went to work.

Around 10:30am, the online monitoring site reported

Sensor Tamper Alarm: Zone 3 at 10:25 AM on Wed, Nov 28

I have to say this about my NextAlarm/Simon 3 Adventure... I'm not
impressed with the Simon 3, to me it will likely go back if i can't
get that motion sensor to work right. Also, the keychains have been
setting off another error about :

Supervision RF Loss: Zone 5 at 3:01 AM on Wed, Nov 28

All that said. NextAlarm seems to be a pretty brilliant business Idea.
Their site gives you real time information about the status of the
alarm, and it provides an RSS feed you build an alert around. They
even offer a $5/mo and free level of service. They have online
support, but it is very limited. If I can just get the simon 3 to stop
doing false tripping I might just keep it.

Anybody know of a simple wireless alarm with a remote dialer �-meaning
it's dialing wireless so I don't have to run a phone line to it? - �I
know there are rj11 devices that do this.

I usually stay out of these things as I've done with you so far, but
sometimes it just gets to be too much and I just can't resist.

If you'd have hired a competent installer in the first place you
wouldn't be going through this. What you're going through is just the
chance you took when you decided to do this on your own. I doubt that
there's anyone here who can help you. It sounds like one of those
"experience" things that one runs into, when trying to do something
they aren't equipped to handle.
Call a few local installers and see if any of them are willing to come
over and straighten out your installation. I'm sure they'll find a
number of things wrong that you think you did right and it will be
well worth whatever they charge to have a working system. You've tried
it the hard way. At the least, why not let some one reassure you that
you have everything right. After all, I'm sure you did this with a
purpose in mind, which I presume is protection of your family and
possessions. After all that you've invested up till now, why not have
the satisfaction of knowing that it's going to do what you started out
wanting to do.

Also, if you thought you were getting a bargin in monitoring fees, how
does it feel now, when you can't get any help? It all ALWAYS boils
down to

Ya get what ya pay for. This Simon system is a tinker toy. That
is .......... If you'd hired an alarm installation company to install
a "real" system and was being monitored by them, you wouldn't be going
through all this *** now. Your alarm system ( what little you have)
would be low on your list of priorities and you could be off doing
something that you are more capable of doing.
