Covering outbuilding

Without monitoring the only notification you get is the base siren (or extension siren). No email, no text/SMS, no app control.

What sensor(s), specifically?

I'm a little surprised it doesn't work at all though. Granted I have SS2, but presuming you have SS3, that's supposed to have even better range. I have an entry sensor in an outbuilding 63 paces from the house. My paces are just short of a yard. The sensor works unless the temp drops way low, as in well below zero, then occasionally I get lost communication with the sensor error.

@bcontento I would agree with whoaru99 being surprised as my daughter has a SS3 system in a house built in 1906 with very thick plaster walls and 3 sensors I put in her garage in the backyard work fine.  By chance, do you have aluminum siding? is there any electrical lines or appliances near the base or between the base and garage? Suggest you also try moving the base to see if you get a connection.

Thanks for the replies. Not sure why I didn't get an alert that there were replies.

I remeasured the distance. It's about 50 yds from the window where the base station is in the main house to the outbuilding (yes, aluminum sided I believe). It is in Minnesota, so it's been in the single digit temps and teens most of the time during setup.

@bcontento the distance to my daughter's backyard detached garage to the base is further than that but its vinyl siding. If a clear line of sight from the base to the garage...suggest this. If you have an extra entry sensor, start near the base with the system in test, hit the test button on the sensor and base should say "entry sensor". Have someone near the base and start moving out. Make a note when the signal is lost, and then call SS, provide details and troubleshoot. ie move the base etc.

Post here your outcome.
