I got the sensor I ordered online after about nine days; I never got a tracking number.
You're supposed to be able to use the app install new sensors, but I had problems. When I tried adding equipment, it listed the previous two sensors I added and had me agree. It wouldn't detect the new sensor, so I had to call Frontpoint to sort it out. They were able to add it within a few seconds, but the app had already renamed those two older sensors to their default names. Now I have to go back in and rename them.
As far as the actual kit, it is installed on my handgun safe under the bed. I set up a three minute "left open" notification, just in case. Un/fortunately I actually walked out of the room after leaving it open this morning and tested that it does indeed work. The handgun isn't the only thing in there, that's why I had it open. With a crawling kid, it's a good reminder to stay vigilant. He's not usually allowed in our bedroom, but you can't be too safe.
That reminds me... the panel spells safe out as S-A-F-E instead of saying the word, despite it being in their sensor name drop down. The CS rep said some words don't have speech programmed, which is pretty lame.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
