Had a customer's glass break sensor go off every night at 3 AM for a week
Honestly, it was a new install in a downtown loft with those big windows. The sensor was a DS1101i, and it kept triggering the central station. I checked the gap, the wiring, even swapped the unit. Ngl, the fix was dumb. The window frame was expanding just enough from the overnight temperature drop to stress the glass. I ended up moving the sensor to a different pane and adjusting the sensitivity way down. Has anyone else had a sensor be that sensitive to thermal movement in a modern building?

My old apartment's wooden door would stick every winter morning. It's wild how much modern materials still move with the temperature. Your fix makes total sense for those big glass walls.

It's crazy how even concrete expands and contracts enough to crack sidewalks. Nature always wins in the end.
