Can you change the volume of the alarm sound, or make it silent and still have the dispenser work normally?

No not on this one. Sorry the purpose of this is for someone to hear it and know their meds are ready to take.

I don't think it is very nosie. The noise happens only when the dispenser gives food. You can hear the motor and the food hitting the tray. I hear it only when my house is quite.

Yes, there would be an issue. It doesn't turn itself back on, so your alarm would only play from your device's internal speaker. Also, every time you turn the thing on, it resets the volume. Very frustrating.

Not sure about hooking the zwave up but the alarm can be silenced by pressing the mute button.

yes, you can change the volume. you can set the timer for rest and workout. there is only one sound, and it is a high pitch beep. great for noisy gyms!

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.

I don't think you can change the volume of the beep, but you can turn it off. In the Power Panel Personal Edition software, you can enable or disable the UPS's alarm and enable or disable your computer notification sound (from your speakers). Of course, you'll need to let the software run on startup for the notification sound. But if you do this, you could disable the UPS alarm and still get sounds that you can control through your speaker volume or the PC's mixer app.

I test it occasionally by dipping the sensor/lead in water. The alarm sounds. I remove the sensor/lead from the water after a short time, and the alarm silences within a few additional seconds. It seems as if the sensor/lead is rather hydrophobic, so it rapidly ceases signaling when the water is no longer in contact with the sensor. I like that feature.

According to the paper that came with it, you press either the sounds or the volume key to stop the alarm,. I tried it, but it doesn't work very well. The tune usually doesn't last very long, but there is one tune that goes on and on.

The only way I have got the alarm function to stop was to hit mute but I imagine it would eventually stop like the alert beeping function does

There is no way that we are aware of to make the alarm louder. You might want to contact Garmin directly.

There is no way to adjust the volume of this alarm. It is all or nothing, and would definitely be too loud. However, it is possible with this specific device to only blink the light. It shows up as a fader (I use it with Nexia) and setting it to 1% will only make the light flash with no audible alarm.

Yes the alarm noise can be easily turned off. The greatest feature is the noise level indicator can be adjusted so as our staff work on lowering their conversation volume we can continue to set the level lower to have the lights change with no alarm.

Seem as they are all broken I don't remember. There is a on off switch for sound so I just wanted a visual. I never used the audible alarm. But like I said, none of them work as all failed.

You appear to have a defective alarm, it should sound as soon as it comes into contact with moisture. Try one last test and this time use water instead of moistened paper and see if it makes a difference. If not you need to contact Amazon and return it. Good Luck

Not so fast people. *Most* of the time this unit is pretty quiet, only producing a very low steady hum. However, it *can* get annoyingly loud (3-4 times its normal volume) where it's sort of vibrating the plastic pieces of itself together. Topping off the water level sometimes helps a little, but most of the time it makes no difference. (It does the same thing right after a fresh cleaning too, so it's not an issue with debris.) When this happens, you can tap it / nudge it / smack it and the vibrating noise will cease - USUALLY. But sometimes it won't. There have been times where I wanted to smash it to bits with a hammer to make the noise stop. The only thing I've found that you can do to quiet it down is to completely open it up like you're cleaning it and pop the pump assembly loose and reseat it. It helps to barely press the pump down onto its suction cups, which is now what I do when I clean it. Before, I used to press the pump down firmly, which seemed logical but only increases the chance the unit will vibrate loudly. It seems like they ought to have put rubber seals between the plastic pieces where they meet or at least on the little studs the pump sits between or something, although I'm sure that would've increased the cost. Oh, I have the unit sitting on a thick, soft, rubber mat too. It's not sitting directly on a hard surface that would exacerbate any vibration noise.

With the added iHome app, you can dim it as much as you like. I am having some issues with the app though because it doesn't let me use the lower volume for the music part of the alarm. Since I use the white noise quite loudly to go to sleep to, this makes the alarm pretty loud when it goes off. There may be a way to fix this issue, I just haven't found it yet. If you don't go to sleep with sound or don't mind a loud alarm, it wouldn't be an issue for you.
