Yes, you can leave a door or window that has the module on it open when the alarm is armed. It senses a change in position. We have some windows into which we have placed rods so they can be opened only a few inches and will occasionally leave those open when we arm the alarm upon leaving our home.

Yes, you can leave a window open, and even close it after arming it. It will only trigger when the sensors are separated....not when the are put together.

We went through the wall in our basement. You would have to leave a window open if you used the window.

Yes you open the window more than height of the screen, you place the screen into the window and adjust the width to fit. Finally you close the window down onto the top of the screen. This gives you an open window with a screen for windows that don't have screens. None of the windows in my house have screens or even the ability to add screens. It has been a life saver until we can save up to replace the windows. However, as you have surmised, you will have to remove it when you want to close the window. I usually just place it on the inside window sill and expand it so it stays in place for next time I want to open the window.

Depends......the entire unit is made of a heavy material that make it impossible to see in or out......however the front and side windows have flaps that can be folded down to let fresh air in......which can be seen through from inside to outside.....and if opened at night.....can be seen through from the outside into the RVI love mine

No you cannot leave windows open, even a little bit as the device works on the movement/pressure of air, leaving windows open even a tiny bit will make the air current fluctuate and set off the alarm. Providing the rest of the house is air tight, i.e. no external windows open then it it alright to leave internal doors open. The alarm works on air pressure throughout the house, when the air is disturbed or changed even slightly the alarm activates. Just in case you have pets, you cannot leave them in the house while the device is plugged in as their movement would set it off.

Unless you have an AC unit, I do not see how this will prevent someone from gaining access by removing the mesh, and manually removing both pieces from the outside facing window.One will be facing outside, for the intruder to unscrew himself.

Yes that's what pulls the heat out. Without that the heat has no where to go but back into the room. It does not go outside of the window. You just have to be able to have the window open with the hose at the base of the window like where you have the screen. I hope this helps because it works very well.

No you need to screw it to the top ...but it could be screwed to the window and close the window on top of the screws... The window will be open 1/8 of an inch

I keep dogs out for a couple of hours but I do not have to leave. Instead I would do the rooms and close the doors. Bring the dogs to another level. After that level is done then I would bring the dogs to the finished level and get the next level done. Summer, of course, I can open the windows.

Really? To b honest I don't think I have ever opened the back window. I usually just go through the front in and out. Is there a reason to have the back open to let in varments?

Not currently but you can configure an alert to tell you the door is still up after a period of time, then you can close from the app if needed. Sounds like a great feature request though! Sounds easy enough.

No, you can close the window openings on the sides and back but the front stays open. I also thought that I would want one that totally closed but that would be more money for one that does. This was a nice alternative to having an umbrella up that would blow over. Two adult beach chairs and a cooler fit nicely!

I always open a window and point it about 20 to 25 feet away from where I live to a house next door. I am thinking that it would work without getting up.

Yeah, it's built to do that. There is a 'home' and an 'away' mode. You just assign which triggers you want to be active for each one. For mine I have doors and windows only when we're at home and when we are out the away setting will trigger the alarm with doors windows and the motion detectors.

If you mean can you close the window with the fan in it, then no. You'd have to remove the fan to close the window. I hope this helps.

How big is the total area? I have a 10-12' window, opens on each side. I put alarm in the middle and banged on the side window, didn't do anything, so I hit it harder and it went off. Was scared to keep hitting the glass but if window was smash it would make the alarm go off. We have to turn the alarms off in big wind storms cause they will go off from wind/gusts. Only have had to turn them off 1 time from wind. Alarms are loud.

Depends on the window. My window will not fully close, because it has an edge that extends out hitting the padding. I just close it onto the carpet and stuff a towel at one corner where the pad does not extend. In another window it will close all the way. If the 2 L brackets that are used with the pad for placing in the window were a bit longer, I would be able to close the window. Pad does not need a window sill to work.
