They had free shipping with no minimum for T’day and black Friday. That was when you saw us all placing 5,6,10 orders for $7 each LOL
I see… I already placed one for 7 for $49. Cheap enough for me.
Now it is just hit or miss on who processes your order.

I also ordered 9 this morning and they have shipped. Same exact price. Can’t beat $6.06 with Ebates ($6.42 after tax) each isn’t bad.
@tommyincville - Try again!
Mine were all canceled.
The 9 that I ordered and have shipped, shipped from a store that is 25 miles from me.
I said what the hell, might as well try to order 9 more. At least then I would have enough to do all my doors and maybe 1/4 of my windows. Worst they can do is cancel it, not out anything.

Probably cause no one store around you has 9?
From what I’ve seen, shipping actually comes from the nearest distribution center with the inventory to accommodate the order. All of my out-of-state online orders have come from in-state distribution centers.
They split up my order, so you’re right. Not due to insufficient inventory.
I guess you should just keep ordering.
Merry Christmas to you all.
My second order was canceled, but I actually got email from them stating such. That is a first. So, I just resubmitted the order again, and hope someone else processes it.
Can I say that I hate you all? All of my orders were cancelled. 
Somebody send me some $8 Iris Contact sensors pls!
My order of 9 was cancelled. It won’t let me choose shipping now from the grove ok location or change the quantity.
Is it common for the Lowes motion sensor to eat batteries like crazy? I got two brand new sensors about two weeks ago. One of them started off at 66% battery. Found that weird, so I went back to Lowes to get a new sensor, swapped out the batteries, and returned the sensor I just purchased. New battery in my old sensor, at 100%. Good, I thought. Now 1 week later, no response from sensor, voltmeter reported 1.6V (as opposed to 3V). Start to suspect I got a bad sensor. I’m going to exchange the sensor tomorrow for another one. It’s a shame because I love the Lowes sensor’s responsiveness.
Are there other alternatives to the Lowes sensor? Is the ST motion sensor as quick as the Lowes?
Several months on my Iris motion sensor and the batteries are still strong. Even the ones on high traffic areas. Maybe it’s a bad one.
A bad device is always a possibility.
One possibility is that the sensor is in demo mode. If so it will chew up batteries.
Another possibility is a weak/broken mesh. When I had Osram A19 bulbs , the Iris PIR in that room was eating up batteries and also needed to have battery pulled at least once a week because it would freeze up. Removing the Osram bulbs solved all of the issues with the Iris motion sensor.
I’ve had an Iris motion that went through batteries in 2 weeks. Exchanged it for a new one and the new one is still on its original battery.
There is talk about a few possibilities…
1 - Some of the batteries are old start low and die fast.
2 - Over in the firmware update thread there is a lot of talk about zigbee devices getting their batteries drained…
3 - Bad luck?
I’ve been considering those possibilities as well. Honestly, from my experience with them over the past month, I have seen around a 30-40% failure rate (rapid battery drain) in Iris sensors. This has been more prevalent in the motion sensors and buttons.
With the buttons, I’ve seen around a 40% failure rate for buttons that are only used as temperature sensors and have never been pressed.
With the motion sensors, I have seen a 25-30% failure rate.
The contact sensors have been a bit more reliable.
Note: These results are fresh out of the box, with some seeing up to a 33% battery drain within the first 24 hours, and complete drain within 1-2 weeks. Keep in mind this is only the parsed battery reporting via ST (which is a stepped reporting calculation, not accurate battery %). Also, this is from an extremely low sample size and from distribution centers and stores in my state, which were likely selling from the same batches.
