1. A method for operating a security system controller, the method comprising:
receiving supervisory signals from a first wireless security sensor at a first supervisory rate, which when received, repeatedly confirm to the security system controller that the first wireless security sensor remains operatively coupled to the security system controller;
receiving a first security sensor alarm from the first wireless security sensor indicating an alarm condition detected by the first wireless security sensor;
in response to receiving the first security sensor alarm from the first wireless security sensor, changing the first supervisory rate to a second supervisory rate, wherein the second supervisory rate is a higher rate than the first supervisory rate;
determining when the supervisory signals are not received from the first wireless security sensor at the second supervisory rate, and in response, the security system controller issuing an alarm associated with the first wireless security sensor;
in response to receiving an acknowledgement of the alarm condition, changing the second supervisory rate back to the first supervisory rate for the first wireless security sensor; and
receiving supervisory signals from the first wireless security sensor at the first supervisory rate, which when received, repeatedly confirm to the security system controller that the first wireless security sensor remains operatively coupled to the security system controller.
