I'm a little confused from the answers. How close does the unit have to be to the sensors? Will the sensors transmit through walls and floors?

It works from my basement to the 1st floor (wood floor construction). In this case, the total distance is about 25'.

Depending on the layout and composition of your walls, the sensor can be placed up to 80 feet from the telephone dialer. The sensor just needs battery power (included) no electricity. The wireless signal will go through walls and multi levels.

The farthest I tried it was about 25'. For me, it worked thru one wood floor. If you are asking about multiple floors and walls, or thru materials other than wood (such as metal or concrete), I can't' tell you.

Yes...it will not work through walls. Anything will impede that range such as being in a pocketbook, in a drawer, etc.

Hi Bruce, I have one about 30 feet away going through two walls and it works well. sometimes when I get near the remote I mess up the signal on that one. I have a second remote that is about 40 feet away with only one wall between and that one is rock solid and does not fad when I get near it. I also have one remote speaker one floor below and about 30 feet away and that one is also rock solid. I have not tried them outside since I use them to play audio stories to my blind wife in her bedroom and living room. If I am working in the basement, I listen there.

I have all my sensors inside barns that are 200ft. from my house and it has worked well. Don't know how they would do if they were outside in the weather.

I have a cinderblock house covered in stucco and 50's plaster on the inside. My garage is stucco also. I have a sensor inside my garage and the main unit can still read the sensor through both of them and about 20 ft away. clear open area this will do 100 ft no problem.

I have two that are about 50 feet apart and on separate floors. They connect. You will get less reception the more walls you have to go through as well as how thick the walls are. There is no designated distance because of these variables.

Well, not really. The sensor must connect to the hub over a short-distance wireless link. The hub then handles the tasks of alerting or controlling whatever the user has programmed. The hub must be connected to the internet for any information to leave the premises.

I only use this for my tv so my wife can sleep. But I am able to walk into other rooms and still here it I would say about 30-40 feet between walls. It was the best I found as a transmiter.

We use ours to receive a signal from a business that is a 1/4 mile away. Straight line of site. Don't know about going thru floors

It is not very accurate and it basically has to be in view of the motion sensor. It won't work thru walls and it has a range of about 30 to 50 feet

It is best if the sensor is placed where nothing will break the line-of-sight between the sensor and the receiver, like a car, metal building, etc. The unit will sometimes NOT WORK AT ALL if placed where anything metal, especially things affected by a magnet, can break the line-of-sight between the sensor and receiver, but if the sensor is placed really close to the receiver, sometimes it works OK. I would not chance it to work if the vehicle was passing between the sensor and receiver. Hope this helps.

I was able to use the device successfully at a distance of approximately 30 feet between the sensor and the alarm, one floor apart. And this was in a house made of concrete reinforced with steel, which is the way we build here in the Caribbean.

That's a really good question! I have no idea. Depends on where the sensor is.

It all depends on the construction of the buildings. The instructions advise against placing units in different buildings or in unheated spaces. My basement unit will network with the ones on the second floor. By line of site, they mean an electronic signal must be able to make it. The units don't actually have to be optically visible to each other.

it doesn't work through walls, the range depends on how good the batteries are works good between 8 to 10ft

Yes, the signal will go through walls. It does not have to be a line of sight. It needs fresh batteries often to keep it working all the time. I estimate I am putting in new AA batteries once every couple of months. David

The base unit operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM band using 802.11 b Wi-Fi, which is rated at a range of 125 ft indoor; 460 ft outdoor. So it sounds like you would be pushing the limit. Depends on how many walls, floors, windows, trees, etc. it must pass through and how dense they are. You won't know till you try.
