Can you set this not to sound the alarm when water is detected? I only want text alerts, not the audible alarm.

Yes. Remove the cover from your Pitboss and locate the box containing four small toggle switches on the left side under the battery compartment. Move switch number 1 to the down position. Now turn your unit off, then power back on to reset. Your audible alarm is now off.

The water siren can indeed be connected as I have done so; I also have a second water alarm independently wired although I think you could splice them together if desired; I am not sure about the motion detector

Yes! oddly enough it's super loud that way. back side flat down. You can set it to announce every hour or set a timer as you like. Don't get it wet. it hates water I found out the hard way but was lucky and put it in the sun for a day and it started to work again. But I had to reset everything.

I strongly believe it WILL sound give your proposed scenario as long as you have adjusted the sensitivity level correctly. A tip: if yhe alarm seems like it is sounding too quickly/falsely, it is likely that water is trapped along the thin metal ring inside the circumference of the blue round part. A quick shake or two will remove this water. Also, I used a silver marker to make a couple of reference marks so I could better adjust it. One on the outside if the light blue top and another corresponding one on the outside of the black adjustment ring. Then you can easily see where you are in terms of sensitivity.

I personally use the bird sounds as the audio alarm but from what I can tell the best way to accomplish what you want is to turn the alarm volume down all the way. Then the light alarm will still do it's thing but the audio alarm will be very quiet/silent.

I believe that there is a "cut off" that will put the unit to sleep for a period of time (determined by YOU) after 3 or 4 wrong codes entered. There is a Z-Wave capability that may be able to send a text to the homeowner if the wrong code is entered too many times, but I don't believe it would actually cause a burglar alarm to sound. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately yes. That is one way to vlear the unit after an alarm. According to the manufacturer when you plug it back in the alarm (which is different from the wetness alarm) indicates that it is active. Hope this helps.

There is a battery powered small alarm in the filter unit...intended to beep when the filters need replacement. If you don't want the alarm/reminder, just take out the battery. Have had this unit now for four months after a kitchen remodel. Love it! Small under the sink, and great tasting water. Suz in Tucson.

If by silent alarm means nothing is felt, heard, or seen when you want it to alarm then YES! :) Unfortunately, this does not have any alarm nor any type of audible or mechanical notification. It is a trade off for having a device whose battery lasts up to a year.

Yes you can set it to the nature sounds to wake you and it will slowly get louder. There are three options to use for the alarm. Nature sounds, beeping and the radio all gradually get louder as they are on. You can set how loud you want it to get too.

I don't know what you mean with "new audible alarms", but with the version 1.2.0 I have you can set the minimum and maximum thresholds for all measured parameters and, if they go outside the limits, the digits are highlighted in red and a vibrating alert is shortly activated. The alarms can be disengaged from the main screen. I'ven't found the way to set an audible alert, but as for pre previous answer is probably possible.

There is an Alert setting that will sound a siren-like sound when there is a weather alert. Normally we turn ours off of that setting so we don't get constant alarms unless it's a BIG event or something has a high probability of occurring at night.

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.

I think the speaker is just below the sensor on the front. Perhaps that is where you would apply something. I'm still trying to wrap my head around wanting to muffle an alarm. Isn't the point of an alarm to be loud?

Hi I don't think so. I have this alarm also and I do not know any way to mute the alarm. Thanks for asking Frank

Yes - but when one alarms - both alarms. The Freeze Alarm does not distinguish between the water and motion. I would love to know how to independently wire the water alarm as John Pickering mentioned below. As of right now, I just intend to disconnect the water alarm for the summer.

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.
