The alarm is triggered when the door is opened. Will the alarm turn OFF when the door is closed?

No, when the alarm goes off the only way to stop it is to enter the code or take out the batteries. The battery compartment has a set screw so it's not easy to get into.

If you are using the alarm as an open door notification and have it set to go off each time the door opens, the alarm stops as soon as the door is closed. We put it on the door to the pool so we would know when that door was opened. It helps protect against small children getting into the pool area unattended.

Yes...the design is when the door is being opened the alarm goes off regardless of which side of the door somebody is. If you want to open the door from the inside just remove the door stop and open the door.

Yes, the alarm will go off when you pick baby up. This lets you know it's working. It will give a warning beep when you do so which allows you enough time to get back to the monitor to switch it off before the real alarm goes off, it's super easy to disarm though, one of the angel wings you slide up and down to turn on and off. Super easy: you get the hang of it in no time!

It will automatically turn off after 1 hour. AFAIK you can't change this behavior but you can extend it to two hours if you set 2 alarms, one hour apart from each other.

If I unplug the unit, the alarm goes activates. If I plug it back in, the alarm goes off. Hope this helps.

No it does not. The alarms are not linked so the only alarm that goes off when a window or door is breeched is the alarm from that specific unit, not the base unit. Thanks!

it has a separate connection to use the reed switch in installations where you do not need insteon wireless connections. So depending on your alarm, it could trigger it when the door moves to open.

Since the reason the alarm goes off is that the "connection" is opened I don't see what difference it would make if the window opened in or out. It works like two magnets...when they are touching the alarm is silent, when they are "opened" or separated then the alarm goes off. Very loud!!! Friend put one on door on his boat, forgot about it, went out weeks later and scared HIMSELF when the alarm went off!! You can turn it off when you don't need it. Installs easily, takes about 2 minutes. Hope this helps.

There is no alarm or anything like that, but it does shut off. If you are near, you can hear it click off. Hope this helps

Yes, it will set the alarm off, arm away with motion detectors on, home mode with motion detectors off, and disarm.

It only turn on after the door has been closed...there is a button in the crack of the door that is suppose to be triggered when the door closes.....if it doesn't reach the button, then sometimes it won't turn on.....

No. If chime is turned on, the control panel will beep. If the alarm is armed then the siren will go off. But the contact itself makes no sound.

You set the alarm to sound for a certain amount of time(for my mother I set it to stay on for 1 hr). After the hour is up the door stays open until the next alarm goes off. For my mother we had 3 alarms that went off in the course of a day.

The minute the person gets up or attempts to turn over this alarm goes off. If you raise any part of your body that is resting on this it will go off. It is sensitive. I hope that answers your question.

no the alarm sensor will allow us 8 seconds after we push the bypass, after that it will sense the door is open and go off. When we have parties I usually remove the battery, due to the reason we are outside all day, and it allows my guest to come in and out of the house.. :) Hope this helps

You have to move it for the alarm to trigger. Opening the door won't do it, but closing it will. You can adjust how sensitive it is, and how long it takes to arm after turning the key. So if you move it, it will start beeping and if you don't disarm it, it will trigger the alarm. Don't know how long the 9V battery lasts, because I just got mine a few weeks ago.

The alarm emits a light beep when activated (turned on) and the same when deactivating it. When it detects movement it emits a LOUD alarm that will awake anyone in the house. I used it to detect movementOf a walker used by the patient. I leaned it against the walker so that it fall over if the walker was moved. It worked like a charm.....
