Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?

Might try moving it to the opposite side of the driveway.=20

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=
ry to stop the false alarms?=20

Thanks.=20
