Answer:

I have the SAME problem. I live in Washington State. When it gets below about 30 degrees, I get false alarms. My son's window always did it when the sun finally reached the front of the house. It heated up the front and caused an alarm. Another window sensor (the magnetic, hard-wired type) started doing it today. So here's what I found. I took a multimeter and measured the ohms resistance at the sensor while still connected in the window (today it was 18 degrees!! and started going off when our heat kicked on). The ohms reading when I tested it cold (appx 18-20 degrees) with the magnet next to it was 0.6 ohms. I thought it should be ZERO - as in NO resistance (a closed loop). So, I disconnected the sensor from the window, measured it again - same thing - 0.6 ohms. Then, about 20 minutes later - I tested it again - ZERO!! It had warmed up and showed what it should. So YES, cold weather can affect the sensors. I'm going to try and either replace it - or drill a small hole in the bottom and spray some electrical cleaner inside and see if it helps. I suspect that since the sensors are 11 years old we've had our window sills/tracks cleaned - there may be some moisture in there. Hope this helps!
If they weren't in our bed, yeah, I'd get up and go check. Most nights, if they're not in our bed, they're all in one bed togetherI'll sometimes walk in the room to find that one kid has his heel in another kid's mouthor somebody hanging upside-down off the bed, just waiting to fall and crack their skullI'd rather catch that right away than wait until the morning to find that I had a newly toothless kid who's sibling's heel was suspiciously bloody But sometimes they just screech and stay asleepI still check, just to make sure, and I cuddle them back to sleep if necessary.
Never heard him rap actually, but he was a fighter in Def Jam Fight for NYawesome game back then.
I live in Minnesota, where it gets really cold, and work at a company that responds to security system alarms at private homes. I have noticed that when it gets very cold (for example today, it is below zero), we get a lot of false alarms. The security system companies will not want to admit it, but somehow the cold clearly has something to do with this because these are all different systems in different houses, and the false alarms roll in every time it gets cold out. So, it may be the cold, although 18 doesn't sound that cold to me. Remember, I'm in Minnesota! Haha. But if that's really cold for where you live, that could be it. Possibly if it is very windy on top of the cold, it could be causing this if wind is coming in through one of the doors and making the door rattle a little. We've had this happen before a few times with sensors at the doors and once on a window. It sounds like you are home when you have it set, so it's on STAY mode? Then, it doesn't matter that you have a motion detector inside because it wouldn't activate anything in STAY mode anyhow. Hope this helps!
