Does this have door chime? If so does it have to be armed

Hi Sullivan, Yes, this alarm does have the door chime function. The door chime only sounds when the system is disarmed. When it is armed, the alarm will sound. If you have any other questions, let us know. Sincerely, Andrew

No it does not. I cannot recommend this unit, especially if you have children in the house. The unit stays on when the door is open, a real hazard.

No. This device sounds an alarm when it is tripped, i.e., when the door is opened. It is adhered to the door and doorframe with velcro, so it is not a secure device. It is a very fun toy, however. It didn't fit well on the entry door to my son's bedroom, so we put it on his closet door.

It doesn't really work like an alarm that you arm & disarm. It's purpose is to remotely notify you that a door is opened. It doesn't make a noise at the door, only at the wireless signal receiving unit located elsewhere. I'm frequently at the other end of my house upstairs, so I use one on both the front & rear screen door to alert me of the door being opened. It works great, I set mine up this way over a year ago and I've yet to even need to change any batteries.

Yes, you can leave a door or window that has the module on it open when the alarm is armed. It senses a change in position. We have some windows into which we have placed rods so they can be opened only a few inches and will occasionally leave those open when we arm the alarm upon leaving our home.

Yes. There is a test mode which when activated chimes when any alarm is triggered (window, door and motion detector).

Not sure which add a chime you have but the RC3733D I have does not have a battery, it plugs into the wall and receives it's signal from the transformer attached to the house main door bell.

No. It will chime only once. If the door closes and opens again it will chime again.

No, unfortunately it DOES NOT! That would be a welcome enhancement. It has a very loud doorbell type ding dong, and an annoying "line ranger" tune! I muffle the pager at night under a pillow on the floor near my bed. You can hear it all through the house!! On the positive side, it is sturdy! I've dropped it several times and it still works!!

The system makes a chime noise when you open doors. It does not speak the name of the sensor. It makes no noise when you close a door. It does not work with non-SimpliSafe sensors.

I do not know. However I do know that this thing eat up batteries like crazy. We barely used it a few times and it goes out of battery besides reception for it is not well either. I had to place the chime not more than 2 meters and the outside button we had to stick it to the door.

The chime uses two metal chimes and can be wired to only use one chime if you needed a secondary doorbell like a backdoor.

Yes. If you slide the button the button on it's side, you can turn it off before you open the door, or change it from alarm to an entry chime.

Chimes - there are more than one sound available. By adjusting the pushing button device, I was always to have the backdoor "chime" and the front door "ding dong." I hope that makes sense. To do this, read the instruction manual about how to set the chimes.

YES, it does. The other person who responded is incorrect. You have to program your system to chime, and it only works on a limited number of sensor slots, but it's very simple to do.

Yes. It plays the full chime/song for front door and only 1 or 2 chimes/notes for back door.
