Can you set it to where just the windows and doors are protected while you are home but change it to do the motion also while you are gone?

Yeah, it's built to do that. There is a 'home' and an 'away' mode. You just assign which triggers you want to be active for each one. For mine I have doors and windows only when we're at home and when we are out the away setting will trigger the alarm with doors windows and the motion detectors.

Yes the alarm has 2 setting Home where only doors and windows are activated but motion sensors are inactive and you also have arm away where now beside doors and windows but also motion sensors are activated.

By default, all the door/window contacts are in Zone 1 and the motion detectors in Zone 2. When armed Away, all contacts and sensors will work. When armed Home, the detectors in Zone 2 will not work. Good feature.

You set actions for away/home/disarmed on the zones and not the sensor. You place up to 10 sensors in any of the 10 zones(100 total sensors). Each zone has an away setting a home setting and a disarmed setting to either enable or disable the sirens for the zone. For example you have a fire alarm(zone1), a motion sensor(zone2), door sensors(zone3) and window sensors(zone4). You want the fire alarm zone always armed for all 3 modes(away/home/disarmed). You want the motion sensor zone 2 enabled only for away and disabled for home and disarmed. You can configure the zones that have window and door sensors to be enabled for sirens when Home/away and disabled for disarmed.

Yes. I have this system. When you are at home on the remote press the house icon button. This will activate the doors and windows while you can move around house freely.

Yes - there's a home setting as well as an away setting. Home is the window and door sensors. Away is for all devices - so motion detectors are active. Any detected movement would trip the alarm. I've had mine go off now twice - but not sure what set it off for sure either time. I may have to tweak their position slightly to avoid false alarms.

You can leave the door off. You have to completely assemble this item. Yourself.

yes you can from the top were your motion detector is.The top pact can be move from side to side. I hope this help! it is a little tight but it can be done..

no ... the system is very limited and i had to devise an external electrical circuit to actually use it. there is a remote key device which you can use to deactivate for entry. the main problem is that there is only enough sensors for one window plus one door and no hope or expanding the system beyond that. in other words, if you need to protect three or more entry points -- two windows and a door -- or two doors and a window -- etc -- you're screwed.

Somewhat. If a home is lined with radiant barrier or other metallic insulating material it will not work. Near a window allows it to function some.

I think there is at least 2 if not 3 different settings that you can do. Each setting is a certain distance away from the base. the farthest s/b able to have person outside the house while the base Is still inside

the sensors that is attached to the door cannot be turned off because once you remove the guard strip its always sensing. You can only turn off the base unit from inside the house in which if you have more than one sensor which is maximum of four sensor, all of them will be off. Unless you reprogram it from the base unit but in my opinion is such a hassle to reprogram.

Yes. You select the location and install it. It's on the door glass permanently so you can not relocate it at a different time.Rusty S.

Not in my opinion. But there are enough advanced features and customisability for the techie user. To create a scene like that is as simple as a few clicks of a button. You would set the door sensor as a trigger to control when the AC shuts off. I use a Nest thermostat as a trigger to arm the house when Nest goes into away mode, then it runs on a schedule to trigger away mode during the weekdays when the house is empty for sure.

Not unless your Windows settings allow it to. What you are talking about is a Windows setting.

Yes, I have mine set up that way. It would help if you had something to keep the window in place if it's not heavy enough (I use a sliding window lock that screws in).

Yes you can, I have two sets for my front bedroom windows with no problems, but I would recommend that if you are placing them in a window that is easily reached that you also use a security bar or some other means to keep the screens from being forced open.

No. Glass will mask the motion as much as a wall. I tried it through my French door.

Turn it off, only set it when you are sleeping, home alone and doze off or leaving

No. The motion detector is super sensitive to any movement. If you were going to go out without your pet, you would have to turn the motion detector off. Otherwise, your pet would set off the alarm. GL

The short answer is yes, if you code the sensors properly. The system sensors (window/door/motion) used together can be coded for what the company calls the power zone setting. This setting is used for the Pet Immune feature.

Yes you can remove. If you DIY while installing you can easily take it off when you move.
