Is the alarm wired to the mat or is it wireless? I want to put the mat outside my door and have alarm inside.

It is wireless, bought for a friend she has 6 of them and loves them her husband isn't well and uses them for him.when he gets out of bed she hears him.

it is not wireless. not sure which ones are wireless. Had a wireless unit that kept breaking up every time I moved the truck. Got tired of not seeing where my trailer hitch was

The alarm is rather loud so it should wake up a sleepwalker if he/she gets out of bed as long as the monitor is nearby or next to the sleepwalker. It won't go off if you turn over. It should be positioned under the upper-mid part of your back so that the most weight is on it. It will go off if you lift off of the pad but turning over doesn't seem to be an issue. Not sure about your dog but if the pad is mostly under your back, your dog shouldn't set it off.

It's wireless. You can put it anywhere in the room that has a power outlet. Mine sits right next to the entertainment center on the floor.

Trash it and get you a Chamberlain Wireless Motion Alert. I got 3 of them and they are working great. No digging holes to bury them in either :-)

It will detect/trip on any movement in its field of range. You can adjusted so it will aim high enough not to to cover the floor.Better yet, you can just set the alarm in "HOME" setting , just like if you're home , then the motion detector becomes inactive, just your contact alarm.

No its wireless make sure the sensor is properly plugged in to the usb port, it may also just need to be charged

no... it is wired. I was bummed at first that is wasn't wireless; however the way I set it up the wires aren't even visible.

Yes it is a motion sensor alarm. It is triggered in response to any motion. May be you want to put the dog outside while you are away or tie the dog in the house but let her move outside the coverage area.

No. Neither have wireless function, unless you mean "does it have to be plugged into the wall". The alarm box runs on battery power. The pad has a wire that plugs into the alarm box.

Mine worked just fine out of the box after I instaled the wires to my current alarm. I suggest you check to make sure the batteries are installeld correctly. I do not remember if there were toggle siwtches that need to be set to make it work but I think not. Check to make sure you installed the wires corrrectly in your current alarm. Absent that working, call the help number on your installation document. Good luck. I love mine.

You are correct that wired in parallel as many sensors as desired can be used. The alarm unit will go into alarm if any one of the sensors is triggered.

I used it near my sofa to avoid piss on my sofa legs, so my dog would stay away from the sofa surroundings. It worked, but my dog realised that after the mat was gone, he could get close and piss on my sofa legs again. I solved it placing the mat under my carpet. It is a heavy carpet, but placing it gently over the mat did not set it the alarm on, only when pressed. After the training time, I removed the alarm mat and my dog still was avoiding the sofa surroundings. So I think if your cushions are light, you could do it.

The mat has a built-in electric heater. I have it plugged into an outdoor outlet. It keeps the mat from being very cold but doesn't really heat the interior all that much. My cat like it though.

Yes. This unit can send and receive signals to all other wired alarms. In addition, it sends and receives wireless signals.

I'm shopping and feel very confused by this thread. Some say the alarm must be connected to a phone (which makes sense to me); others say it doesn't need to be connected. If it doesn't need to be connected, has it a phone in inside somehow that dials the preprogrammed numbers? I know how stupid that sounds but for the people who said "no", how does it call if it's not connected to a phone? I'd want it to call the police.

yes the sensor is a remote/wireless magnetic sensor. The magnet is a built-in portion of the sensor. There are instructions with you alarm system and also with this sensor that will provide info on how to enroll it with your alarm panel.
