Does it have a speaker that I can place inside my home (so that I can hear it from inside if the alarm goes off)? Can the alarm be remotely turned off (from inside my house)?

There is a remote that you place in the house and yes that will go off along with the alarm on the unit.no it can not be remotely turned off. I don't thin any of the alarms can. Its part of the code so you have to go look at why the alarm went off.

It has a remote you can place inside your house. You do have to run outside if it goes off. I've had strong winds set off the alarm and so I don't have it on all the time.

Can this thing work as a silent alarm? I want to use it so that I know if someone is walking through the hallway outside my office, but I want it to be silent on that transmitting end and be notified by the remote. Does anyone know of a product like that which I can use that is discreet and won't scare the crap out of my co-workers?

Sounds defective. I dont think there was a way to silence the alarm otherwise.

The sound has three settings. Off - only the LED"s light. Announce - is a beeping. Alarm - is a siren. You can not adjust the volume. You can put tape over the speaker to reduce the volume.

No, it doesn't have an alarm. It simply stops working. It is nearly silent when it runs, so I doubt you will hear it when it stops. I love mine!!

It has an on/off switch and 2 settings for the sound, lo and hi, mine doesn't work on lo, I kept it anyway since I prefer to be woken up, if there is someone lurking around my house.

This was my plan when I purchased this device. Yes, it will play through the speakers but unfortunately there's a timeout setting on either the phone or speaker that will disconnect on idle (I think it's 20-30 mins) So it will be disconnect itself by the time the alarm is set to go off. I'm still pretty happy with it, my nightstand is less cluttered.

There is a "home" function, that will sound, without activating the external, optional, siren. The built in tone is not very loud, if you were sleeping a few rooms over, it would not wake you. This is why the external siren is a must have, it is quite a bit louder, but honestly, for forty bucks, it is not very impressive, decible wise. This unit is only effective to alert people in the house, as far as hearing anything outside the home, it is not loud enough to scare off an intruder.If I was to buy again, I would look elsewhere.

You cannot turn this device off remotely. And it is not capable of differentiating between your motion and motion you want it to alert you to. I say, "Tiny, be quiet!" and walk over and tap the top which silences the unit for a couple minutes. An alternative would be to find a way to put a sheet of glass between you and the device - my unit doesn't seem to sense through glass - but then anything else on the other side of the glass would not be sensed either.

The sensor can't be turned off. Once set and the alarm is turned on, if the two pieces are moved away from each other the alarm will sound.If an attempt is made to open the sensor it would be moved away from its counterpart which would fire the alarm.As a side note, we use ours for a sleep walking child who has left the house and it works perfectly.

Part 1 - You need to contract a monthly service and add "Total Connect" that allows email notification / remote control your alarm from anywhere. Part 2 - If you do not have that I mention on part 1 you can still monitor the alarm when you are inside your house (turning on/off from bed using your iphone if you buy also the U$ 0.99 app from iTunes).

We love this alarm, but do carry it with us if we are very far from the kitchen. If you mean could you hear it in the garden while the timer was in the house the answer is no, but my husband has a hearing problem and he has no trouble hearing it in the house. You could carry it out with you or even put it in your pocket while working in the garden. It is by far the best we have used.

Yes, the alarm still goes off if the door is left open. I just tried it tonight. The door closed when the alarm went off. When you open the door the alarm goes off. The alarm is a high pitched beep. I have high frequency hearing loss and cannot hear it in the next room.

It does not appear to have an alarm. I never looked into that feature until this question arose, but I did not find an alarm setting in a quick perusal and there are no alarm buttons on the unit itself. Further, a search of the .pdf manual for "alarm" found zero hits.

Not quite sure how you are using this. It only sounds when you "open" the door. You have to break the magnetic connection by seperating the two parts for the alarm to sound. There is no volume control. It is pretty loud.

I think the speaker is just below the sensor on the front. Perhaps that is where you would apply something. I'm still trying to wrap my head around wanting to muffle an alarm. Isn't the point of an alarm to be loud?

YES. You can lock it out or just turn it off. There is a hold button which stops the timer and you just close the door by any means you already have. Or just turn it off if you prefer. The one downside is that it can close with you outside if you don't hear the alarm. So you should have a way back into the house either a hidden key, a wireless external keyboard.
