Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?

If I put the sensor indoors, it works perfectly. It also works perfectly at=

The side opposite the sensor is a slight hill with grass. I have completely=

It seems to get false alarms for about an hour during midday on sunny days.=20=
So it seems the sun as something to do with it, but what? Any ideas I can t=

Thanks.=20
