Door sensors require battery replacement in a week!!!

I've had first motion sensors and now door sensors that are chewing through batteries in a seek.  They came and replaced the problem motion sensor and now I have 3 door sensors, all of which are going through batteries in days or weeks.  I'm about ready to have the system removed this is such a pain in the butt.  I've had some of these components since we moved to this house 14 years ago and it seems the whole system needs to be replaced.

Hello user_ldo0qc, thank you for posting here in our Xfinity Community forum. We are here for you, and happy to assist. Based on the information you have provided, I am assuming your equip is rented or leased (14 years ago, we did not offer the equipment to be purchased. Now it is only purchased. We can see about equipment replacement, but at this point, it is also possible that a new plan and new equipment might be better for you from an updated equipment and money saving standpoint.

Did I miss anything from your original post? If so, please let me know, as I want to help you.

When I attempted to call and discuss the problem, the first CS rep I talked to told me she had to transfer me to the home security department.  The account is under both my girlfriends and my name and the first CS rep was able fo figure that out.  After being transferred to home security that CS rep couldn't find my name on the account and refused to help me, it had to be only my girlfriend.  We'll be terminating the service in the near future.

When I called my account information was checked.  Both myself and Alison [Edited: "Personal Information"] are listed as authorized users of the account.  The CS rep I spoke to at first was able to confirm that.  She had to transfer me to Home Security and the rep there said I wasn't on the account and couldn't talk to me unless Alison was able to get on the line.  Alison was at work so he couldn't help me.  I'm done dealing with this and we'll be terminating the service.  This has supposedly been straightened out on numerous occasions.  We've only had the home security service for 14 years and I've had it with the situation.

I completely understand the frustration, @user_ldo0qc. And I appreciate your willingness to share what you have so far! If you change your mind, our team is always happy to take a look and see what else can be done. Of course, for security purposes, we have to properly authenticate any user(s) reaching out before discussing account details such as service(s), equipment, billing, etc. I'm sorry this has left you feeling this way and wanting to leave. Again, we remain here if you'd like some extra help!
