Does this work on command with an on/off switch? What if I want to open the door to go out without the alarm?

This device does not have an on off switch. It uses a metal pressure plate that slides in between the door and the frame. You have to maually disarm the device.

This alarm is for you to use while you are in the room with it and the door you are putting the alarm on is closed. There is no "on/off" switch, but all you do is put the pronged, active end of the alarm back into its casing. When your are back inside your door you easily place the alarm back in an active position. Hope this helps. This alarm is very loud and gave me a sense of security while traveling.

Does not work with an on or off switch. It has a 2 pronged extension that fits between the door and door frame. When it is set the prongs are together, but when door is opened the prongs separate and the alarm goes off. To set you pull the prongs out of main unit and place in between door and door frame and it is set. Sounds like a legitimate alarm and somewhat loud. I am happy with the product.

It does not have an on/off switch. The contacts are the on/off. Touching no alarm, open the alarm sounds. You have to slide the contacs back into the base to oven the door... For the price it keeps little kids from going out the back door and into the pool

No, it doesn't work 'on demand'. If you want to go out, just carefully slide the blades out of the door casing, being careful to hold the blades together to avoid the piercing alarm sound, and just slide the two flat blades back into their place on the alarm itself. You could keep the very small plastic band that comes around the blades and use it to secure them when not in use but the band is almost too small to keep track of. We take Doberman with us every time we travel. Good for when someone is at home also. Enjoy the Doberman!

It has no on/off switch. You have to remove the sensor wedge from between the door/frame before you open the door. It is easy to use. I use this item at night because my husband has Alzheimer's. I will use it during the day when I feel it is needed. I am happy I purchased the item. hope this helps you.

The unit itself is based on on-off switches. It's a very basic technology. For the door switch, think of it like a set of tweezers on a wire you slip into the door crack. When the tweezers switch comes apart from the door being opened, the alarm goes off. Since the unit is base on on-off switch technology, there's no drain on the battery other than what you use.

YES. You can lock it out or just turn it off. There is a hold button which stops the timer and you just close the door by any means you already have. Or just turn it off if you prefer. The one downside is that it can close with you outside if you don't hear the alarm. So you should have a way back into the house either a hidden key, a wireless external keyboard.

If you arm it in the away mode, it will have a delay so you can enter and exit. However, if you want it to immediately go off, put the switch on the side of the unit to "stay" and enter your code while the door is still open. Then close the door as you leave, and then it will immediately go off when you enter.

No. This locks the door from inside . Door opens in and basic use for when u sleep.. or just. Extra safety. I think you would bee better off with a door alarm and or motion alarm.. siren is loud and some will call your cell if activated. Good luck chris

The barking stops as soon as there is no motion detected. There is capability to manually set it. The setting remain when power is turnoff and then on. I use a WeMo switch to remotely turn in on and off. However this works only if you do not install batteries. Hope this helps.

Yes. The only slight draw backs are that some times pressure on the pad can set it off as well. Once you set the unit...if you unplug it, apply too much pressure to the pad, it will sound the alarm. (False alarm) Just reset the Chummie (Top button) when this happens and you are ready to go.

yes it does but I usually switch it off when I leave the house so the switch for on /off doesn't work sometimes

It has off switch, chime, and alarm. For the door I'd suggest chime, then switch to alarm at night

Yes. Be sure the sensor contacts separate when the door opens. The alarm will work any time the sensors looses contact.

the alarm will work whether you have power locks or not. it doesnt care if the door is unlocked it just cares if the door is open or closed. if you want to use the keyless entry part of this unit you will not to install actuators in the doors to control the locks.

No. The window alarms have a 3-switch slide button on the left hand side of the larger unit. The up position switches it off and the middle and lower positions are two different types of alarms.

No - install on the wall and when turned on with fob it's alarm is motion activated.We used it to alert us when dad was getting out of bed. He had Alzheimer's.

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'm pretty certain this only works as a second control. But since most of the DYI alarms are keypad + system all in one box, it allows me to hide the main one in a closet and just use the touchpad near the door.

It works when power is losted. I believe you can plug anything into it and the minute you lose power the alarm sounds. The question is does losing the light bulb cut the power??? I don't believe it would.
