Keypad lights up for no apparent reason
I thought the keypad only lights up if you touch it.
I don't mean while setting or disabling the alarm.
I mean that on occasion when I look at the keypad from a distance in another room, I see that it is back-lit. As if I had been standing next to it and touched it in order to light it.
After a while it goes out.
Why?
Ghosts?

This is the first time I've had anything like this happen. I've had my Simplisafe security system for a year now, and I've had 2 keypads that never gave me any trouble. They were on point every time.
So this behavior is very odd. Again, the bedroom was completely dark, the ceiling fan was going, and the drapes were pulled, so there were no street car lights or tree limbs that could have made shadows appear or disappear. And there's no wiring in that exterior wall either.
I would love some answers.
My only thought is that maybe someone is trying to remote into my system? I realize it does operate off of radio frequencies that are federally protected. But criminals can crack those if they want.
Just a thought. Very disturbing, especially given that it's happening after midnight!

I have the same issue with the keypad turning on.
No its not a ghost,
its not heat,
its not light,
its not wind,
base station is line of site say 20' away
I have just set the panel in power save mode but I am not sure why I need to do that for proper operation of the keypad.
I am going to try rebooting the base station next.
It did not do this until the last firmware update. it has gone through two sets of batteries in as many months. not good.
SS do you have a FIX ?
