False Alarms
We have gotten three false alarms from this specific sensor. I think our dogs' tags have been setting it off because we haven't broken glass. Two of the times we weren't even home and the dogs, according to the cameras, were just lounging.

Alarms at all loud noises
Don’t buy it. We had to disable the two we have as it alarms at loud noises.

Doesn't trigger - we got burglarized.
DO NOT TRUST THIS AT ALL.Forget about the false positives. We were burglarized. Thieves broke the large master bedroom window. They never opened a door. The glass break sensor did not trigger. The alarm did not go off. They got away with a 20x20x30" 100lb safe (to show how big a hole they made in the window). During installation I tested it with YouTube glass shattering videos, as recommended.I'm not sure if the vibration glass sensor would work better, but anything is better than this device.

I just set it off with a sneeze
I love the Abode security system, but this sensor is poorly designed. In home mode, I'm just sitting here this morning, drinking my coffee about 15 feet from the sensor, and I sneezed. This set off the alarm system, which woke up the whole family. I know false alarms can be a problem, with pots and pans clanking, etc., but I was really surprised to trigger it with a sneeze. At a certain point, it just becomes unusable. The unit does have a sensitivity setting, so a reasonable approach might be to have one setting for away (high), and another setting for when you're home (med or low). Unfortunately, the unit has a design flaw in that the sensitivity is set with actual DIP switches, so there's no hope that software could ever implement such a scheme. Again, the system itself is fantastic. Just skip this sensor.

False alarms regularly
It trips even with no sounds in the room at all. Good way to p*** off your neighbors.

Can’t distinguish sounds
This is a terrible product, and potentially a dealbreaker for the Abode system if monitoring a sliding glass door (or large window) is an essential part of your security. This is tripped by any sound with any frequency. Setting down a coffe cup lightly, sliding cardboard on the phone, opening a cabinet. I guess the positive side is that it’s not going to miss actually broken glass.

Not Reliable!
Spend over $300 on the system and mine failed after 3 years according to Abode customer service. Looking for another reliable system.
