    you have to have a load on the ssr or it wont swithc correctly... most use a lightbulb to test but hopefully your ssr draws enough amps for the ssr to work... although you should get more than 3.3 v to the ssr... more like 24v when turning it on.. and you did wire the alarm correctly to the pid...
