Can you activate the siren using your phone to scare possible intruder?

Yes but only if you have it connected to your home alarm system. Then by activating a "panic" code or button on your alarm system, this siren will sound along with any other siren connected also. If you have the panic option on your phone app for the alarm, then it should work also.

Certainly. However, keep in mind you need z-wave controller as a brain of system and gateway.
869681
sure. using a mobile app to control your z-wave system. its not a super impressive alarm. its pretty loud but not jump out of your skin loud.

You need a z-wave controller first. Then that controller which usually has a smartphone app will/can control it. In addition, be part of your alarm system.

Yes, the receiver (base unit) is in the house and has a selector switch to set the unit to a constant beep, to a siren or to OFF when a sensor is tripped! You in effect are not turning the sensors off, you are turning off the "monitoring" of the sensors.

Pressing and holding ARM and DISARM together for about 2 secs triggered the loud siren alarm, (equivalent to panic button on car keys or other alarm systems), but one major disadvantage is that remote does not send radio signals, i.e you have to point the remote at the alarm - which may not be always practical in situations where you want this. Suppose the alarm is in downstairs living room, you are in upstairs bedroom and you sense someone breaking in, you will have to get down, go close to the alarm, point at it and press both buttons with two fingers - think if that would be practical for you.

absolutely simple to destroy this simple device. however, the shrieking alarm is deafening...it could frighten a novice intruder to leave or awaken the owner. basic device, but to alert someone it is good. it might be good on a door of the house to know when kids are entering an "off limits" area or perhaps on the inside of a gun safe, etc...

You would need to download an Alarm app to use it. The alarm function runs through the device.

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.

Thank you to everyone who answered, it seems if somebody activates the alarm, it will not shut off until someone kicks the door down and rips it off the wall

Adam, as long as non of the tones are activated, the siren switch can be turned on. If the siren tones are active, the battery my die after a while.

Yes the external siren needs to be connected to the main alarm but I haven't try it yet and I am sure it wouldn't be any problem good luck

First off, the intruder would have to know where your control panel is to unplug it. The siren is VERY loud and if it goes off, it is a huge deterrent. As soon as the system is set off, the text is sent to you that it has gone off. If they do find the panel and unplug it, it has a battery backup so it still should keep sounding. Hope that helps.

The FOB has a button that triggers the alarm on your phone. The TAG does not.

It should not be a problem. The alarm only makes outgoing calls and only if the sensor is triggered by a power outage or a cold temperature. It would be very unlikely an incoming call that your answering machine would pick up would occur at the same time that the alarm would be making an outgoing call. If you get a call from the alarm it will ask you to press a key to acknowledge the alert and avoid repeated calls about the alert.

This is just a siren, not an alarm system. When power is applied, it makes a loud noise. And when no power is applied, it is silent.

Use the panic button if you have an intruder, or for some reason you have fear, & the alarm will ring.

No. The Zomm is the only device that makes the warning sound. A nice enhancement would be for the phone to make a sound.

If you did this it probably would set off the alarm and I am not sure you want to do this if you do not need to. It is a very loud sound.

It is permissible to connect the red wire of the siren to the hot wire of the car's alarm without harm, but in order to have the siren sound only when the car's alarm is activated, the black wire must be connected to the car's alarm wire that leads back to the car's computer, which I assume, initiates the sounding action or the car's relay box that the computer controls. That may be easy or hard to find. If you can find and gain access to the car's sounder - probably the car's horn, then simply connect the black wire to the wire leading back to the computer from that sounder/horn.
