Low battery and system interference

Hello! I was getting a low battery warning on an entry sensor so I changed the battery with a brand new one but the message of a low battery is still there. Also on my pin pad there is a notification saying ‘interference detected - signal interference detected’ nothing has moved in our house from their location (distance from router). Any ideas?

Welcome to the community @Pulpfrau!

Regarding the battery issue, it is possible that the app had the old battery status cached. Force quitting the app on your phone or tablet, then reopening it should clear that message. If not, you can always log out and back in to the app and that should do the trick.

The error you're receiving generally is an indication of wireless interference, usually stemming from another device nearby. Have you added any new smart home devices to your house or any internet-connected devices in general over the past few weeks?

How do I force closing the app?

I put a new battery in the front door sensor and it still isn’t working. I have had this problem before and I cannot believe how hard it is to make it work again. Please help.

Hey @leliakramer​ it sounds like you are off to a solid start. Have you tried checking it in test mode? I'll attach the how-to video below. If the button responds in test mode, you will know that the sensor is communicating with the base. If it's not responding when opening and closing the door, attach a photo of the setup, and we can go over that next.
