I PAIRED IT WITH MY BASE STATION AND IT CONTINUALLY “WENT OFF”. I SAT IT FACING A DARK WALL AND IT STILL WENT OFF. I MOUNTED IT OUTSIDE ON A CALM DAY SO NOTHING WAS MOVING AND IT CONTINUALLY TRIGGERED THE BASE STATION WITH AN ALARM. I RETURNED IT AND RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT FROM AMAZON AND THAT UNIT DID THE SAME THING. i TRIED EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF. I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER AND TALKED TO A REPRESENTITIVE OF CHAMBERLIN, THEY SENT ME A UNIT AND THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I’M DONE.

If I didn’t already have one of these that works I would have only given it one star since zero is not an option. This one was dead on arrival so I sent it back for a replacement. I’ve noticed others have had these arrive DOA too. The one that I have that works seems to work ok but I haven’t had it very long.
I would suggest installing it in a sheltered location as they are not really weather proof and if it gets wet inside it probably won’t last long. The weather proofing in these units is very unusual to say the least and it does not work on mine because the cheap case does not meet the rubber bead on the inside of the opposing case. I sealed mine with a removable mastic tape to ensure that the internal components stay as dry as possible.
