What about interior doors setting it off? Can I leave windows open a bit?

Activator RX-9 is sensitive to changes in pressure and would therefore be sensitive to the slamming (or forceful closing) of any door. Leaving a window open a bit shouldn't cause a problem unless the window was closed forcefully.Hope this helps.

No you cannot leave windows open, even a little bit as the device works on the movement/pressure of air, leaving windows open even a tiny bit will make the air current fluctuate and set off the alarm. Providing the rest of the house is air tight, i.e. no external windows open then it it alright to leave internal doors open. The alarm works on air pressure throughout the house, when the air is disturbed or changed even slightly the alarm activates. Just in case you have pets, you cannot leave them in the house while the device is plugged in as their movement would set it off.

You can set it so that the interior doors won't set it off. Yes. And the windows can be open, yes. Make sure that you can get your money back in case you can't get it to work for your home. I feel it works for smaller homes better. And you have to play with the sensitivity a bit to get it right but it should be worth it.

In my day to day use the door is usually closed, as there is no optical drive behind it and I use USB extenders connected to the back of the machine. But I imagine, if you were to use an optical drive regularly or the USB ports I can see it becoming a bit annoying. Also in my opinion leaving the door opened greatly impacts the aesthetics.

Yes, that would definitely set it off. I have it on a window, and you can't open or close it carefully enough to not set it off. But then that's why there's an off switch!

The picture is a bit deceiving - the doors actually slide into the middle position to allow access, not open outwards. So if there are ever issues you can just leave the door "open" but without getting in the way. If that doesn't work for you - the doors are not too bad to get off.

I don't think so,because you have to open the window up so that you can put the exhaust host coupling where the exhaust host(extension/white host,see kit) is connect.Then you can not lock your window.I live in the 14th floor,so that's OK for me, but if I live in first floor I will not feel safe,is up to you.....

I have mine Inside with my window hold it in place. So it all depends on how your windows are built, not all windows are the same.

I have used mine a couple of times inside just to test how much fuel I would need to cook. There is an odor that I would think would become unpleasant without an open window.

I believe it says to do it on the inside. I'm sure you could do it on the outside, but when I used it, I used the seal on the inside. It does work as advertised. I will say, I had to work a bit to get it off in the spring though. I think this year I am going to use this but I'm still going to use the plastic on the windows. I still felt the coldness, but it's probably because the windows in my apartment are just really old.

Yes. You can open and close the door from anywhere. Also I'm getting prompt alerts whenever door is open or closed.

No you don't need to open your windows. It will stay cooler if you do close them. You can use it in a some what closed area, but it does have a filter in the back that needs to pull in air to run. I use it in all my rooms.

The only thing I do is leave the software open. I will minimize the window and pulled it up when I need it. Otherwise that is it.

Yes, you can. We don't typically do this because our windows are older and we don't want people to break into the house, but if you have windows that you can lock when they are open then this isn't an issue.

I don't see anyway you could disable it from the inside. It would have to be keyed entry on both sides for that to work. Sorry. :(

It adheres to the window surface fairly well so opening and closing should be OK. For adherence and to preventing spilling, the door and window would need to be handled gently.

There are 2 metal latches on the inside of the window that are spring loaded and will lock shut into desired position. So when the window is down you cannot open it from the outside.

To reiterate what the other said, you do not have to install the doors. You should though. If you're worried about overheating, they can be left open and it's open in the back.

You can raise and lower your window just fine but it can make a loud squealing noise as the plastic rubs the window. I'm concerned that over time this could scratch the window or the tint so I don't do it very often. Also, the rubber seal between the door panel and the window is now bent downward on one of the windows. I don't know if that will ever be an issue. Either way, these door panels are well worth it. Protects from slobber and nails.
