PSA: A client's 'dead' motion sensor in Phoenix was just covered in dust
Last week I was on a service call for a system that kept having false alarms. The homeowner was sure the living room sensor was broken. When I got up on the ladder, I saw the lens was completely coated in a fine layer of dust from their recent remodel. I wiped it clean with a microfiber cloth, and it started working perfectly again. Has anyone else had a simple fix like that save a trip for a whole new unit?

My buddy had a smoke alarm beeping from a tiny spiderweb inside it.

That spiderweb thing is wild... reminds me of when my carbon monoxide detector kept going off from dust bunnies in the vent. Sometimes those sensors are just way too sensitive for their own good.
