Does the sensor only work when the window is open or does it work through viberation?

It is a magnetic switch, so it only works when the window is open. I doubt vibration would set it off.

The sensor is triggered when the magnet and case are physically separated - when the window is opened or closed.

No, it's not a vibration sensor, it is only triggered when the window is opened.

The window sensors only work when someone tries to open the window. Some systems also have 'glass breaker' detectors if someone tries to break the glass, but I don't like those as any vibration can cause them to trigger.

I use the multi-sensor with my SmartThings Hub to get updates on my iPhone letting me know if my garage door is open or shut. I know when my kids arrive home from school, or when anyone else enters through the garage door. I also programmed the sensor to let me know if the door is left open for a specific length of time.

That means your room is clean. Try to use hair spray near the machine. It should detect right away. The sensor is in the back btw.

No. You need a custom tune for that. There are ways to trick the sensor into thinking it is working.

Usually. About one time in 20 it does not and I find it still on when I wake up in the morning even though I know noone has been anywhere in the vicinity for hours. It also lacks a bit in sensitivity. Not much competition however.

Make sure that it is setup as a non wired sensor. If this setting is incorrect then you will see behavior like this.

Yes. It works based on the door opening either way as long as you can put the trip sensor in the door jam.

The GB does have a sensor. It does not pop up from leaves. The door sensor may need an adjustment.

Yes, it's called test mode but works just fine. It's meant to test a sensor but I leave it on all the time to be notified when my kids open a door. It's actually a dual chime like ding...dong. Not ding. I don't have a motion sensor installed though. If you are familiar with programming alarm panels you can configure the motion not to chime when in test mode.

It doesn't have a sensor and stops the rotation, but it cycles "empty"or idle. Hope that answers your question. (Sorry for the delay..)

It uses a passive infrared sensor. It doesn't detect motion per se, it detects heat or rather a rapid change in heat signature. It will detect people, animals, headlights, car exhaust, etc.

Yes. The alarm is triggered when a sensor changes state. So if you leave it open and don't touch it, it will not trigger the alarm

I think it senses vibrations, if you opened the window delicate enough it might not go off, heavy wind has set off mine before.

This is a door or window sensor. It is not stand alone it was added to my existing system.

Thats a very good question... The glass is not clear so I'm not sure if the sensor would be able to detect motion at all times.

It automatically sense the signal ( there is a delay though approximately 20 - 30 sec, some times more than that, less than a min), but it comes up automatically. In case it is not responding, switched off (remove the power supply) and re-connected, it worked ( I came across the situation, once). Hope it answers your queries.

Yes, the door sensor should work on all doors, as long as contact is made the alarm will arm.The motion sensor might be a problem with large clear balcony /clear doors, quick moving shadows or car headlight at dusk might set off the motion sensor. Keep the motion sensor away for large doors and windows and you should be fine.We have the unit for 3-4 years and it worked perfectly, because we have walked into the house few times without turning off it first and it scared us each time ;)
