I want to purchase this system without paying a contract. I don't want to use the automation or its apps. I just want it for the speech alerts and to know when door is opened

The system will operate locally only without contractual monitoring. To use the monitoring functions you must purchase the correct cell card for your area. Before I purchased monitoring I trained the family in a local only configuration. I have it announce all doors and windows through the control panel. The system performs flawlessly. I don't think there is any option for a remote speaker to announce doors, etc. so place the panel where you can hear it. It gets fairly loud. I have additional "bell" tones before the basement door announcements since I can't hear those doors being opened from the interior of my house. I can hear the announcements throughout my ranch style house with the panel in the dining room.

It's free. You can do it by going to windows update. The computer will eventually ask you as well

We had to go to a installer of alarms and remote starters for them to program it to my vehicle. They didn't charge me,and it only took them two min.sorry not a better help.

No fee. Mine is tied in with my alarm system and for that I pay a fee. The perk to tying it in with the alarm is my ability to unlock it from my phone. The code to unlock it works no matter what.

Not entirely certain. The automation features are definitely independent of alarm monitoring and it will function as an alarm keypad. To use the remote services, I had to get the panel MAC address tied to alarm net. I saw on one of the DIY alarm sites that someone has been able to access this panel remotely through their router without an alarm net subscription. This panel does have a static IP address on my network

The lock doesn't require any monthly payment, however what you hook it up to may.I use a Vera home automation system which does not require any monthly payments. The Vera is a DIY system and it works very well. As long as you are handy with electronics and computers the Vera is a very good choice.

The only way I am aware of is to look at the app. I do not see anyway to program it to alert you the door is open.

The system will sound an audible alarm with or without you paying for monitoring (as you said, cell call). The system will not communicate with you remotely such as text & email alerts, remote operation via the smart phone app, or contact local police & fire without you paying for monitoring (again, cell call). SimpliSafe has an explanation of what each level allows you to do on their website. I think there's only 4 levels of service to compare, free, $15 mo, $20 mo, $25 mo.

I understand that you can setup your alarm system for txt messages not for emails, I rather use the app total connect to verify my alarm status.

No, but there is a link to the programing software. It is a quick free download with an easy install.

There is no registration fee but some third party programing that it takes to make this receiver deliver programs requires purchasing a key or code to use when setting up. If you are going to use as a true fta receiver it is free to air.

There are a few paid options like InControl Home Automation, but there are also free options like HoneGenie.

You need to buy the Liftmaster gate way then you just download the free app to open and closed and also check the status of your door.

They offer a speech text service you can purchase after the first free year or something like that. I did not use their service because I use Motospeak for free with my Motorola phone. I only had this device a month before the metal speaker came out and was lost forever making it useless. I replaced with a Samsung Bluetooth.

I don't have a landline either. Go tohttp://alarmsim.com. No monthly fees, just prepay for minutes. & it does not expire. Worked great for me.
