But then 12 hours later, the bad status code is back.
All I had the guy do was replace a battery and a sensor and add in a new key fob remote - the other one is the old one I already had. And they BOTH do it. So he definitely messed something up.
So they're sending someone out... in 2 weeks.
Meanwhile my wife gets a call from their automated system 2 - 3 times a day to let her know that there is a non-problem with hers or my key fob.
The alarm still works fine and everything but it's kind of annoying that the technician left the alarm incorrectly configured and I have to deal with this crap for another 2 weeks. Wife is also kind of annoyed with the phone calls.

I would try and replace the batteries in both key fobs. I had the same situation years ago and just replacing the batteries in all three of the key fobs took care of it. No problems since.
