If it concerns you, you might consider covering that PIR with some

I have today covered it with a piece of paper for now. The alarm is only
used maybe 4 weeks in the year so it was a pain having to disarm the
alarm etc to replace the batteries when rarely used.

The dog makes enough noise if anyone comes near the house when its
occupied. :-)


IIRC, enter "programming mode" & you have an hour to interfere &
change batts etc
? (with small crosshead screwdriver &
stepladder/chair :-) ).

Presumably you knew all this when you bought & installed the
wireless system?
