SS III How to test Glass Break
Installed my upgraded system SS III and like it!
I installed the Glass Break and it shows it in the system.
How do you test the sensor once it is in operation?
I tried the old way of pushing the test button and clapping hands but does not seem to work with the new GB sensor
Thanks,

Frustrating. New owner of system. Nothing happens when I clap hands right in front of the Glassbreak sensor immediately after setting Test Mode via keypad then pressing sensor button. No part of the "clap test" instruction at https://simplisafe.com/blog/glass-break-sensors ( simplisafe dot com /blog/glass-break-sensors) seems to be correct, including that the "little amber light" on the sensor does not appear to even exist. Where can I find correct "clap" test procedure, or is there no such thing in current version of this sensor?
Also, how to open it to access the "sensitivity switch found under the battery"? (Even if that switch doesn't exist either, I'll eventually need to access the battery to replace it. I found this simplisafe video https://sprcdn-assets.sprinklr.com/2088/29da5f45-60cd-44ec-b4ed-db22c2eace27-2798433329.mp4 on the support page https://support.simplisafe.com/articles/motion-sensor-gen-1/how-to-replace-batteries-in-simplisafe-devices/63447c1beb3c8e382dd025f6 but not sure it is helpful or current and I don't feel like risking cracking it by trying to force the back off.)
Links to simplisafe documentation is appreciated if it is good and current. If it isn't or it doesn't exist, any help from the community is greatly appreciated.
BTW I know the sensor is set up ok: when Test Mode is set via keypad, pressing button on sensor generates a "test signal received. Living Room Glassbreak Sensor" event as shown in the "Timeline" in the app.
