Can I manually use this alarm to warning my kitchen workers of the presences of the Health Department Inspector in my restaurant?

Where is your restaurant? If you have to warn your people about the health inspector I don't want to eat there.

Get a tiger, tie a string to his nuts, and the other end to the back door. When you hear the tiger yelp, you know someone's coming in.

Why don't you just use the same alarm as the one you have that warns them all to hide in the freezer when they come to check green cards?

Si, it work very good when alarm go off my boys know to stop the roaches and put on hair nets! I never get bust!

No. And personally, if you have to warn your workers of the presence of a health inspector on the premises, you might want to deal with the issues that would cause you to need to warn them in the first place.

The only thing this alarm does is chime or alarm every single time the door is opened. It has no on/off switch. I can't see how it would help your cause. I would recommend an intercom with an alarm button.

Good morning. I regretted having bought this alarm. It was a waste of money and would have returned it if only I could at that time. I hope this answers a question in your mind about the reliability of this sensor.

Carolyn, I would think you could, I have mine pretty far a part so really can't answer your question. The sensor goes off quickly but takes 15-20 seconds to reset before the alarm goes off again. I also have a driveway alarm from Harbor Freight that is cheaper and they respond quickly and you can add another sensor.Sorry about the answer. I see what another posted. I've haven't had any issues with my alarms and really like them.

Yes you can set it to only alert you for specific watches/warnings/alerts and which counties you want these for.

Yes it is possible. You can also configure the system to conact you in the even of an alarm. (no monitoring service provider needed)

I don't recall it had an alarm, but I want you to know that ours quit working and the company wouldn't fix it. Maybe try a different company.

Sorry, no warnings. The alarm does go off for a full minute. I use mine basically as a thermometer. I have other timers.

You have to also have a z-wave alarm (and a SmartThings hub). SmartThings sells one on their website. If you have both, you can program the alarm to go off when the sensor opens during a schedule that you set (i.e. evening only, weekends only, whatever)

You can set up the control module to call the police directly but all they will hear is the system message (ie. Alarm sensor # was triggered). Also the calling method is landline and you will need to tell the police dept that you setup your system to call them if alarm is triggered. My advice is that you setup system to call you and then you be the judge to call the police of it's a real break-in situation.

Their is no alarm built into the switchYou could possible add an alarm thru a contact block. This is a 16 volt switch that simply breaks the connection if water is presentThe switch is designed for shuting down a furnace or AC unit if water is present. I have mine connected to a motorized valve that shut off my city water if water is present Good luck

We have experienced alarms when the wind blows and animals and insects will trigger alarm. We do not live on a public road so we want the auto alarms

Directly, no; indirectly yes. You'll need to contact the mfg tech support. They mentioned something about an alert service for a fee. The RadStat app allows control such as off/on, temp setting, home/away--normal thermostat actions. I think for the alarm (such as to note whether your heat has failed in the winter) you need to have the stat monitored, and I think some alarm companies do that too. There is chatter on their website forums about alarm.com.

All you have to do is push the test button.. I also disconnected a hose from my propane tank and that small amount of propane that leaks out will set the alarm off.

The best way to utilize this device is to place the sensor on a paper towel, that way the paper towel will "grab" the water and soak the towel which will trigger the alarm. This works great under a sink or in a metal water heater pan (since the pan itself conducts electricity and would trigger the alarm immediately, but not with a paper towel between it and the sensor). If your concern is that water might flow past/around the sensor, the paper towel is an easy way to ensure a larger area of coverage.

It will work as a door monitor. There is a beam of red light emitted from the unit. (Just like an overhead garage door). If anything interrupts the beam, it will sound an alert on the receiver unit. We clipped the receiver unit to our belt so that we could be in other parts of the house. If our patient (elderly, and a fall risk), got out of bed, the alarm would sound. The unit itself (the part with the beam), does not sound an alarm, just the receiver unit.

You have to use a monitoring service or it affects as a local audible alarm only. Make sure the monitoring service gives you access to total connect. That way you can program and control the system via the internet or your phone.

No. Just put your alarm system in test so you don't cycle your alarm monitoring company.
