Does the window sensor have an on/off switch? My teen has been sneaking out at night, I just want to make sure she cannot disable the sensor.

No, there is no on/off at the sensor. If she tries to take it off or anything like that it will seperate at set it off. It works like a charm. Use the alert channel #4

no .... only dusk to darkness , and it only senses Body motion . ( if you are in the car it will not turn on till it senses body motion , when you get out of the car )

The only way to override the automatic light-sensing "off" switch is to put tape over the sensor. It would stay on all the time then.

I didn't see a switch on it. Covering the sensor with tape should be simple to do. Can't remember if there is a wire you could disconnect on this one. Usually there is. - J.M.

The instruction manual says: "To disable the motion sensor and keep the light continuously on for the night, flip the wall switch off for 3 seconds and then back on. To reset to Security mode, flip switch again off for 3 seconds and back on. If you leave the light on all night it will automatically turn off at dawn and reset to security mode." I didn't install the light with a wall switch and don't use this feature but have no doubt that it works. I have two of these lights and find them very bright. Don't stare at them or you'll see spots!Cheers,Paul.

No, only the fan has sensors. Light remains manual. I have all three features (main light, night light, and fan) switched for easier control. The night light is enough light to prevent trips but not overly bright.

If I recall, there is a sensitivity setting. And no, there is no away a car will set it off. Its detection range is limited.

no. It only sends a zwave radio signal that tells a controller the door is open or the door is closed. (ok, it also sends a battery charge condition too), but you can't turn it off, or disarm the sensor itself. Any arming or disarmming would be with the zwave controller

You would need to have some sort of receiver that would let you know when the door opens. As for your teenager being able to turn this off he or she could remove the battery from it (the device is visible on the door) and they could also turn of the receiving device if they had access to it. Hopes this helps and I'm sorry I was so long in answering your question but I was out of state.

There is no "off" switch. The unit is always on but "activated" only when the door/window is open/closed.

No. There is a small red light that is on the sensor. It blinks when activated. No visible light like a night light,

There is no on/off switch on the sensor. The sensor needs a manual switch installed in the sensor electrical feed circuit to turn it on and off and well as to override the photo cell.

I have mine on a switch and it works well, but it will only come on when it is dark. I like that because it doesn't matter if one of the kids leaves it switched on, it will turn itself off at daylight. If you want it come on in daylight you can put tape over the light sensor or open the housing and bypass the sensor in the wiring.

Hmmm....I'm not sure of a way to 'turn-off' the sensor other than pull the battery. What the engineer in me would recommend is to obtain a second magnet: Place the main sensor on the house wall and use one magnet on the window itself for 'window closed' then place the second magnet on the same window in the position you want to use for 'window open'. Here's a nice second magnet: Magnetic Sensor Home Door Window Entry Warning Switch By using a second magnet, you will not have to remember to reprogram the main control panel (if that's even an option).

I am not sure if it can be turned off, however, I have mine installed with a wall switch to have the option to turn it on and off when I so need to or leave it on if going away for a period of time then it will be using the dawn to dusk feature (sensor). Hope this helps!
