When a sensor's battery dies in our system, if you don't replace it -right that moment- it loses its sensor ID because it depends on the battery to store it in memory, resulting in us having to pay upwards of $130 for an ADT guy to come out and reprogram the sensor.
And, if this happens to any of the sensors, the main alarm unit will take it upon itself to inform us every 8 hours, setting off the main siren for this purpose as well.
Yeah, this happened recently (2nd time in a row), and looks like one of the sensors actually doesn't work anymore, so now one of our motion sensors isn't actually on the system anymore (removing sensors from the system requires ADT guy, too).
