 Works as intendedAug 22, 2009
By A. D. Krauss
First of all, to use this you need a Control Center GE 45129 Choice-Alert Wireless Control Center.
A few things to note that were not apparent until I bought this and a Control Center:
- the motion sensor can connect to the Control Center in two ways, either in one of the first three Zones (1, 2, 3) or in the fourth Zone (4) and the Control Center has a different behavior in these two categories.
- In Zone 1, 2, or 3: the motion sensor can only operate in Alarm mode, not in Monitoring mode. Other sensors apparently can be setup to either Alert, Chime, or just show an indicator light for its assigned Zone based on a switch on the Control Center (the switch has settings of Alert / Chime / Off); this setting is applicable when the Control Center is disarmed (not in AWAY or HOME alarm mode). But the Motion Sensor DOES NOT work in this way - it ONLY WORKS in AWAY or HOME alarm mode, when assigned to Zone 1, 2 or 3.
- When assigned to Zone 4: the motion sensor triggers an Alert only, which ignores the Alert / Chime / Off switch. The Alert cannot be silenced, only muted once it starts.
Since the alarm is overkill for what we want (monitoring our sleepwalking child), we plan on keeping it in Zone 4, and unplugging the Control Center without batteries in it to shut if off during the day. The Alert itself should be sufficient to wake us up.

 Not DependableOct 25, 2009
By Golf Man
The motion sensor was not capable of transmitting a signal to the control center which was located only 60 feet away and only one exterior wall in its path. The wall consisted of vinyl siding 2 windows and a fiberglass door with glass in it. My advice is to buy a more powerful motion sensor which undoubtly will cost more but will be dependable.

slow to set off alarmJun 14, 2010
By C. Smith
this motion detector works really well at detecting any movement but then doesn't set off the alarm for about 30 seconds, all the while beeping as if to give an intruder directions to the home unit so he can destroy it before the alarm actually sounds. the time between activation of the motion detector and the alarm needs to be shortened.

Wish It Worked Like GE Says It DoesFeb 05, 2010
By Fred
I bought two of these motion sensors. After initiating communications between the sensors and the base unit I found two disturbing things. First, they do NOT communicate up to 150 feet - I was lucky (after moving the base unit around a dozen times) to get about 35 feet with fresh batteries with nothing more than two drywall walls between them. Not very useful and this forces you to put the base unit in potentially awkward places. Second, as far as being weather-resistant? I found that they stopped working when their temperatures dropped below 35 degrees. So, unless you live in Florida, my observations indicate that these are not useful anywhere but in a nice, dry, warm environment. I did find the construction of the sensors to be adequate. But I must take issue with the base unit... it's cheaply built and does not function exactly like the manual states. Further, YOU CANNOT USE THESE motion sensors in ANY mode except for "Armed When You Leave The House Mode"... so I have to question, what's the point then! Final opinion: not a well thought out product, cheap, doesn't work well, and well, you get what you pay for and I'm upset I wasted my time and money on these. They're pretty much JUNK.

You have to be kidding!Jul 03, 2011
By Anne Brenner
I purchased this product, the base unit, a remote, and a supplementary alarm. This product did not work at all. To start out, the base unit would not let me program a new code. I programed zones 1 and 2 for the motion detectors and tried the alert and chime settings. They went off whether or not the unit was armed. After about an hour, neither the chime nor alert worked and could not be reprogramed. The supplementary alarm worked because the remote panic button set it off but the motion detector would not set it off.
