I felt like just a number. They definitely were rushing me through the process. They need to put people in their installation team that is not only tech minded but ALSO has good PEOPLE skills. Still incomplete

They claim yo gave a life time warranty on their equipment. But, when a sensor went bad, I found out that its the life of the sensor. So, you have to buy new sensors at $30 a piece when they fail. False advertising!!
