7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| System not connecting to Wi-Fi. | Incorrect Wi-Fi password, 5GHz network, or weak signal. | Ensure correct 2.4GHz Wi-Fi password. Move host closer to router. |
| No SMS/Call notifications. | No 2G SIM card, inactive SIM, no credit, or poor 2G signal. | Insert active 2G SIM with credit. Check 2G network coverage. |
| Sensor not triggering alarm. | Low battery, sensor out of range, or not properly paired. | Replace sensor battery. Reposition sensor closer to host. Re-pair sensor. |
| False alarms. | Improper sensor placement (e.g., motion detector facing window/heat source), sensitivity too high. | Adjust sensor placement or sensitivity settings in the app. |
