Low Battery Warning (or lack of)
On the SS3 system, I was under the impression that a 'Low Batter Warning' is supposed to be sent from the base station when any of the devices' batteries on the system are low. Recently, I had two entry sensor batteries and a water sensor battery die. In each of those cases, all I got was a message on my phone indicating that the device lost communication with the system. This is not something that I want to happen when I'm away from home. Is there a problem with my system or is this the way it's supposed to behave?

I too wish it would give an earlier warning, or at the very least, repeat base station announcements. But if it helps, when you get those errors, the first thing to check is dead battery anyway, lol. Fair warning, sometimes those warnings will come at 3 am or sometime in the wee hours of the morning when you're sleeping, so unless you check your keypad display or log in to your dashboard, you won't know the battery is dead, or, "not responding". (btw, if you get text alerts, you'll also get them for sensor errors). Just make a mental note/habit to check your keypad display every day.
