Does this turn off automatically due to lack of activity? (i.e. Would this stay on all night, paired, so I could use it as an alarm if needed?)

I'm quite certain it does not turn off after a period of inactivity. If it does, the time period is rather long.

The speaker's built in battery will move into sleep mode when there is no sound output for more than 1 minute.

There is an on and off switch on the bottom of the unit. I turn it off when not in use. Mainly used when driving because my car (2003) does not have the audio capabilities like today's cars. I have found that the pairing is strong if the phone and unit are always close to each other. If I keep the speaker on and exceed the allowable pairing range, the speaker may or may not pair again. The battery also has a certain length of life, between 6 - 8 hours depending on the use. I have never tried to use the speaker with my alarm, only Pandora.

It doesn't have automatic shut off. Will stay on until you turn it off or runs out of battery life. If you use it for alarm purposes, yoy may need ro keep ir plugged in to power supply.

Yep. I use that feature every night. Once you set the sleep timer though, don't touch other buttons. If you set it and then mess with volume or whatever, the alarm might go off because the other buttons seem to change the sleep timer over to an alarm instead. Just hit play and then press the alarm button twice and it will be a 30 min sleep timer. Not truly sure if it's random but it does play different songs every night. It just might be in order, not random.

My experience with it is after turning off it will immediately turn on again if there is detected motion. In fact if there is constant motiondetected, it will not turn off until motion stops for the period of time set on the device, i.e. 2 mins, 10 mins , or whatever the setting is.

The manual says Auto Shutoff occurs 6 minutes after no activity. I always shut it off after using so I've never tested that feature.

It is always on if there is power, sometimes it doesn't auto connect if it is on before in range but there are multiple phones that use mine so that May effect it.

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.

Could be several possibilities. Check to see if your battery is older or not sufficiently holding a charge and or that all the connections and cables are clean and tight. You don't mention whether your alarm goes off constantly however even if it did you would have to try a different sensitivity setting and you may still have to refer back to the above assuming the unit is not defective in some way. Disconnectthe alarm and see if your battery still goes dead. if it does then you have a short or another problem or possibly something i mentioned. Good luck.

You would need to unplug it do de-activate it. The settings remain in the system. I unplug mine when the lawn service is here or if I'm out in the yard working. However, my earlier review would change to a degree. I've bought 4 of the sensors and two of them did not work right or either the base has bad circuits. False alarms, no alarm, etc. Two work really well, the other two have not been satisfactory. It's a pretty good basic system, no sophistication at all. Minimally does the job.

If I unplug the unit, the alarm goes activates. If I plug it back in, the alarm goes off. Hope this helps.

OK, I'm confused. Does it stay on as long as it keeps detecting motion, or does it turn off after 10 minutes or so regardless if you are in range or not?

The sleep functions only when u activate it, no it isn't a one time set up. Unfortunately every time u use the sleep function u have to remember to set it, then again the functions isn't always used and it would a pain in the ass. Think about it every time u listened to music it would go turn itself all the time once it reached the time set for right? Hope I was able to answer ur question.

Sensors are always on. The master unit/receiver (alarm) can be muted. You would have to remove the sensor from the window, or door, (thus triggering the alarm) to remove the battery. Best to keep master unit in your bedroom. I have a sensor on my back door AND my daughter's window. You can set different beep quantities for the different sensors.

I lined it up, opened the door. When the alarm went off, I took the backing off and stuck it permanently. It works perfectly. Someone opened my door one night and I heard the alarm from upstairs. The intruder left promptly. Also, it alerts when children leave or enter the house, or leave the door open.

Do not use the alarm, but when it does go off it is like a buzz. Will wake you up if close.

With the added iHome app, you can dim it as much as you like. I am having some issues with the app though because it doesn't let me use the lower volume for the music part of the alarm. Since I use the white noise quite loudly to go to sleep to, this makes the alarm pretty loud when it goes off. There may be a way to fix this issue, I just haven't found it yet. If you don't go to sleep with sound or don't mind a loud alarm, it wouldn't be an issue for you.

As far as I've experience so far, it never turns off unless you turn it off. I left it on overnight one time.
