good night friend, I need to know if the alarm can be activated and deactivated by sending a text message from the phone cell.

You can do that with a phone call to the alarm, but not with a text message

yes that is how it is suppose to work but I sent it back. Couldn't get the phone portion to work right.

The FOB has a button that triggers the alarm on your phone. The TAG does not.

No .. You have to use cell. This is not usable without alarm.com and it's app.

When the alarm signal goes off, and cannot be reset. Also, when this happens you have to buy a new unit. This just happened to me, so I can speak from experience. Good luck.

Yes, when you set it up you have that option. What I don't know is how to set it up so I can stop the incoming message by picking up the phone--think that's a problem with my phone setup, not the machine. I have splitters, used to work with old machine, but now I think have to rearrange the splitter situation.

Alarm is easy to set but it does not automatically go off the next morning without you activating it the night prior. Once you turn off the alarm in the morning it will not go off the next morning. This is not as smart as an iPhone or other alarm clocks.

no only the main unit cant text you a sms text message after you have programmed your cell phone number into the main unit the main unit will text you when a sensor has been triggered an it will text you the zone that has been triggered so you will know what door or window or sensor has been opened you will have to add the smoke alarm to the desired zone that you wish an when it is triggered it will also text you i have 2 smoke detectors an they both work very effeciently an are very easy to add on to the main unit

Yes it is possible. You can also configure the system to conact you in the even of an alarm. (no monitoring service provider needed)

Hi I don't think so. I have this alarm also and I do not know any way to mute the alarm. Thanks for asking Frank

I believe that there is a "cut off" that will put the unit to sleep for a period of time (determined by YOU) after 3 or 4 wrong codes entered. There is a Z-Wave capability that may be able to send a text to the homeowner if the wrong code is entered too many times, but I don't believe it would actually cause a burglar alarm to sound. I hope this helps.

It should not be a problem. The alarm only makes outgoing calls and only if the sensor is triggered by a power outage or a cold temperature. It would be very unlikely an incoming call that your answering machine would pick up would occur at the same time that the alarm would be making an outgoing call. If you get a call from the alarm it will ask you to press a key to acknowledge the alert and avoid repeated calls about the alert.

Yes. My 90-yr-old mother only wants to hear the date and time. She never uses the alarm function. She presses a button on top to hear date and time.

This system cannot,but the GSM system can use GSM cellular technology that allows Text and Call notifications for alarm events as well as the ability to arm or disarm your system with a text or a call.

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.

Thank you to everyone who answered, it seems if somebody activates the alarm, it will not shut off until someone kicks the door down and rips it off the wall
