The only issue reported was yesterday. My housekeeper left a note stating that when she opened my entryway window and then armed the system, it did not give a sensor open warning. However, when I replicated the exact sequence, it notified me immediately. I am uncertain if she merely missed the audible alert or if it did not announce it as reported.

I updated my system to 1.5 yesterday. No problems with the updates to the base and keypads.
However, since the update my Siren isn't working properly.
If I set my system to Away the Siren chimes as it should, but if I open any entry sensor to exit the house, the Siren stops chiming.
This didn't happen before the update.
I removed the Siren and reinstalled it, but that hasn't helped.
It stops chiming every time I open a door to exit.

The siren stops beeping if you open any door to exit the house after setting Away mode. I was told it is a known issue that would be fixed without another firmware push.
I'm not sure how that is possible.

Is anyone aware of any issues that have been introduced in this patch that might make me want to avoid it? I am always resistant to updating things that seem to be working fine.

Base Station = v1.5.8
Keypad = v1.4.20
Have attempted to download and update keypad more than five times. The download gets to 7% to 9% and then fails with the following error message:
"Update failed. Make sure this keypad is close to the base station and try again later.'
Called tech support and was told to reboot the base station by unplugging it and removing the rechargeable batteries for a few minutes, reinstall the batteries and plug the base station back in. No problem there. Attempted the keypad update and again it failed. Removed the batteries from the keypad. After a few minutes, reinstalled the batteries in the keypad and let it link up with the system. Attempted the update again with no luck. WTF?!
Does anyone have a solid solution to getting the keypad up to date with the base station? Updates over WiFi are so basic that this should be updated without issue. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The first update pushed (ever - nearly two years ago) of mine failed - twice. The solution for me was to have the Keypad TOUCHING the Base Station during the download. 1-2 inches away, was too far. The proximity issue may not be the same for everyone, but it was my experience.
It will not hurt to give it a try.
