I'm looking for a system where I can detect when a gate is opened. I want a sound inside the house so I know when the gate is opened.

Yes, it will do that as long as the unit is not too far away from the base unit!

I dont have a door/window alarm, but I dont see why you have to buy a separate receiver. You have up to four zones, so you would just set up the door or window detector to anyone of those you have open.

I'd use a sound-activated glass break detector in conjunction with a magnetic switch to detect if the door is opened without breaking the glass.

Can you explain your process a little more detailed? I'm not sure I follow you on the means of a door sensor.

Yes, it has a beep that starts several minutes after it's left open. You might not hear it in another part of the house.

Yes, I use a home automation platform called HomeSeer 3. It has a plugin that connects to the Insteon PLM. From there you can setup events to do many things including send emails. I have two of these sensors and put both on my garage fridge and freezer. When opened, I start a timer and if they aren't closed relatively quickly I send myself and email SMS text to my phone. This has saved the contents of our freezer several times as someone forgets to close it tight.

Yes, it is excellent for that sort of thing, you can put it on chime and a loud chiming sounds every time the door is open. On any door also.

No. This device sounds an alarm when it is tripped, i.e., when the door is opened. It is adhered to the door and doorframe with velcro, so it is not a secure device. It is a very fun toy, however. It didn't fit well on the entry door to my son's bedroom, so we put it on his closet door.

NO. Also keep in mind, fence gates are not a tight fit. Not only that, on a breezy day... your alarm will be going off every 2 seconds! You would be better off with a motion detector facing an area of none movement that would intercept any movement. Hope this helps.

Yes but subtle. I use it for hogs. Worked great along with a system that sends images to cell so I can know if I want to close gate.

It can alert you when it opens, closes, or stays open too long - you control the settings. I don't know what models it works with, but my opener was old 5+ years and it works.

We have two key pads. One for in and one for out plus remotes for each of our cars. There is a sensor available but it is very expensive and in my opinion less secure cause someone could jump our gate and manually trip the sensor opening the gate.

Yes I have two doors a window and a moton sensor all on one unit the receiver is in the living room. Then I bought a second receiver and put the same 4 devices programed in it, in the bed room. This way I can montor all 4 sendors in two places. The only problem is if someone leaves the door open the unit will sound until that door is closed. However it will still monitor the windows while the doot is open. There are 4 leds on the receiver and the door will flash and the window will flash, if thew are both open. I hope this helps. Ernie

Not currently but you can configure an alert to tell you the door is still up after a period of time, then you can close from the app if needed. Sounds like a great feature request though! Sounds easy enough.

You can physically close the gate and then release the lock and there is no sound at all. A normal push to swing the gate closed produces a click that does not seem loud to me.

The device does not notify you that the door is open or closed, however, you can log into the app and it will show you if it is open or closed and how long it has been in that state. Yes, you can then open and close the door with the app. I hope this helps. I find this android app to be very useful.Richard Beebe

You can create a rule in the program to alert you when the door is opened and or closed. You can have it alert you by email and or texts. Not sure about the notifications by manually lifting the door.
