still can't get the alerts to go off even though it's set to the correct zone. sometimes you get what you pay for.

Pretty common for alarm to just not go off. I like the look and displays, but completely unreliable!!! Alarm sometimes won't turn off and you have to take the batteries out.

Has never worked "right" and alarm goes off in the middle of the night!

The outside sensor does not send a signal. It has been charged and the channels synced with the receiver. Annoying

Way too many false alerts! Really annoying

Added 2 of these to try to stop our vehicle alert's false alarms but still having the problem.  May not be as bad as before have to wait and see.

I am really excited to have this, but I am still having trouble getting it programmed...hoping that we can get it figured out.

I cannot figure out how to deactivate the alarms. I can turn it off when it is ringing, but I can't turn it off for the next day. The best I can seem to do is turn the volume all the way down so I can't hear it. The manual says: Press and release the desired Alarm Button as needed to preview the alarm and to toggle the alarm ON (indicated by the alarm icon) or OFF (no alarm icon). I can go through all the settings fine, but no amount of button pressing, or button holding seems to "toggle the alarm ON or OFF", the alarm icons stay lit no matter what I press, or for how long. Looks like its going back. Anyone else with this problem?

Works great when you 1st fire it up, and during continuous use.  After you let it sit for an hour or longer, the first alert either doesn't go off, or goes off with a chime that wasn't programmed.  And that chime that was not programmed was an ultra quiet option that doesn't actually alert you.  So the time it was most important that it work, it didn't.  But it worked all the times it didn't matter if it worked or not.  It seems to work for other people...  not for me.

Taking off several stars because there appears to be no way to turn off or configure alarms, sensitivity, etc.  If your power supply is subject to even tiny fluctuations, this device will send out a loud, shrill alarm all hours of the day and night.  And the low/medium/high sensitivity option?  Worthless.  Sleep well!

Constantly drops from network. IF I get it reconnected (a big IF), it doesn't alarm when commanded.

Sometimes goes offline. It's not my ISP because everything else works.  The alert does not tell you which sensor was set off.  I have two door sensor and one motion sensor.  My alarm went off one night and when I went to investigate, both doors are closed and locked.  My motion sensor is in the basement so maybe a rodent or spider tripped the motion sensor.  The siren is not loud at all and it seems to reset after a minute or so.  Otherwise those issue, it's been working great as a alert system, it's not a security system.

Peace of JUNK! No alerts during bad weather. Now it started blasting amber alerts!!! Amber Alerts ONLY! We picked this model so we could program out of Amber Alerts.

The instructions are very difficult to follow for me. Why? The buttons are VERY multi-function and I found it difficult to master which to press. I am a simpleton and found the instructions difficult to master.

One thing I wanted to do was, simply, have two stations. P01, P03, P05, P07, and P09 for one of them; and P02, P04, P06, P08, and P10 for the other. That way, on alarm mornings, a simple flick on AL2 would pick either. Very very difficult to set up.

Anyway, at some point, I ended up with a three-digit countdown NOT AT ALL described in the instructions. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to go away. Entirely frustrating.

Also, swapping between alarm modes (buzzer,music, none) and alarm day selections (one day, weekdays, all week) prooved awkward *for me*. As I said, I am a doofus.

In my opinion, too many functions are crammed into too few buttons.

I have this radio set for my county, but it doesn't pick up half the notifications that my phone does through my FEMA app. So I'm not sure if I'm happy with this or not given that it doesn't give me very much information.  It could possibly be a user error but I don't believe it is.

I received one as a christmas gift. Works great except for actual security alert! The issue is time of detection and time delay. On my front door someone could actually break in before i could react. Then same personbought second for Valentines Day not realizing the time delay issue. I chose not to say anything BUT the second DOESN'T notify with Alert at 2nd location. A bummer so we may be returning.

I could live with the fact that the instructions were not clear, which caused me to call tech support, wait 20 minutes, and then find out that you needed to register an account before attempting to sync.

I cannot live with the fact that in this day and age, that the device cannot sent alerts via text message.  I spent another 10 minutes waiting to chat with a representative on-line, and then discovered that utilizing an e-mail such as phone#@vtext.com, will not work as they currently do not have a way to allow you to verify your phone number's e-mail address via a text message.  This is apparently a feature that many have been asking for, but is not clearly specified on their site or in their literature.

Unfortunately, I will be returning this and look to purchase a detector that supports text alerts.

5 month update

I wound up keeping as it was a hassle to return.  I like being able to check temp/humidity, but have yet to have a water alarm condition to see its effectiveness.

Also recently had a 16 hour power outage due to storm (with heavy rain), and once power was restored, it took 12 hours before I received a phone alert and e-mail that my device was off line.  Seems like a recipe for disaster if I was away and didn't know that the power had been lost for 12 hours.
