Can this be configured to send an alert to your smartphone if someone opens a door or window, only when you are away from home?

No. Not unless u have some form of automaton system or software such as an ISY99, Homeseer or network interface.

With The appropriate supervisory controller - I.e an ISY994i - this can be configured to send you an email or SMS when the switch is activated. If you want to filter that for when you're away from home that's easy, too. The thing to understand is that this Open/Close sensor is only a sensor. It does not have that capability by itself and must be coupled with a smart device. Be careful - once you have that smart device you'll be automating everything in your home.

You could probably make it work but I wouldn't recommend it. It doesn't have an on/off switch so you couldn't open the window without it going off until the window is closed. The bypass button only allows a few seconds to open and close a door. Also the sensors are not really made for mounting on a window. I think there would better choices under window alarms.

Thanks for your interests. The window/door sensor can work as the glass break detectors. Because when the glass is broken, the parts of window/door sensor will be seperated, then they will send alarm to main device.

It will still work fine. In fact, you will only need to attach the sensor side since the magnet will cause it to stick to the door. Since the alarm only goes off when the door if open there will be minimal interference so long as you do not place the receiver directly behind where now open door is between the transmitter and receiver since the signal will now have to bounce around before being received.

You can not alarm the system if there is an open window/door unless you by pass that station. I't will give you a trouble light (yellow). You'll need to talk to your alarm company to do that.

No. It has no email ability.. And the door/window sensors don't work as a glass breakage. Not unless you stick one in the middle of the window..LOL And their other wrong answer. It doesn't need a phone line. At least if you don't care about not having it call someone. Then it will just scare them away.

Yes - there's a home setting as well as an away setting. Home is the window and door sensors. Away is for all devices - so motion detectors are active. Any detected movement would trip the alarm. I've had mine go off now twice - but not sure what set it off for sure either time. I may have to tweak their position slightly to avoid false alarms.

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.

No.It's not possible to set it to give out a chime sound in Alarm mode.The smaller piece goes on the door frame with adhesive.Unless you have a wooden door frame.

...yes, I have one installed at home and programmed it to call me, and also a friend, in case the alarms are tripped.

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.

Yes, just do not input your secret code, if the code has not been entered it will not respond to the door (window) being opened. It has to be "armed" with your code to either chime or alarm. Hope this answers your question. It will only "go off" you have entered your code.... This unit is very easy to use.

I don't think a geofence would work even if it was enabled, Personal Recipes only check for new Trigger data every 15 minutes. They would have to work with IFTTT to set up the channel as a Quick Trigger.

No, it only alerts the system. You can connect an alarm to a controlled outlet and switch it on automatically when the contact is opened or the sensor is moved

Not by itself. It's made to hook into your Insteon network. It can send a message to nearby light switches or you can get an ISY or other such home automation controller which can send email (or perform any number of actions) when a message from the detector is received.

you can toggle "home only" OR "home and away" OR "off text/email only", but i think the last one is based on the high priced monthly alarm fee.

I imagine it is possible provided the vehicle has a programmable device that can be set to communicate with the opener. I doubt it would work with a smart phone but today anything is possible. For me it was a replacement because of a close lightning strike. I think the other response give you a better idea as it worked for them.
