Is there an alert tone function that will sound when a sensor is triggered with the siren alarm turned off? If so what is the relative loudness ?

There is a "home" function, that will sound, without activating the external, optional, siren. The built in tone is not very loud, if you were sleeping a few rooms over, it would not wake you. This is why the external siren is a must have, it is quite a bit louder, but honestly, for forty bucks, it is not very impressive, decible wise. This unit is only effective to alert people in the house, as far as hearing anything outside the home, it is not loud enough to scare off an intruder. If I was to buy again, I would look elsewhere.

There is a gradual volume control that allows loud to soft. You also have about 25 different alarm sounds to choose from. Works great. Also the base and sensor can be 100 feet apart and still work. I have tried others and recommend this one!

You have to also have a z-wave alarm (and a SmartThings hub). SmartThings sells one on their website. If you have both, you can program the alarm to go off when the sensor opens during a schedule that you set (i.e. evening only, weekends only, whatever)

hello, the system has sensors, that you install where you need them, when you activate the alarm, if anyone tries to enter thru your door or window, the siren goes off , and it is loud enough to scare anyone off, not to mention alert your other neighbors, you can set it up to call your cell phone, or the local police dept, just make sure that you ok it with your police dept, every city has different rules. good luck

I can't understand your question "if the alarm is not disabled" (you probably means armed ?). the internal siren is 90 db loud.

if you touch the alarm when it's on it will go off and will scare the crap out of the theif before he can turn it off it is very loud. i have placed it to where it can't be seen so there is no chance of anyone turning it off with out alerting me.

all sensors sound the alarm on all speakers. So if you have 2 sensors you can just use a single alarm speaker.

I test it occasionally by dipping the sensor/lead in water. The alarm sounds. I remove the sensor/lead from the water after a short time, and the alarm silences within a few additional seconds. It seems as if the sensor/lead is rather hydrophobic, so it rapidly ceases signaling when the water is no longer in contact with the sensor. I like that feature.

No! Only the sensor alert. But if you're within range you'll definitely hear it; it's very deafening. So don't place the sensor too close to your ears. It works very well.

UPDATE: Craig, While I have not yet installed the Water Siren, I see no provision in the manual for disabling the 90db audible alarm. As Michael suggests, you could use duct tape, or you could stuff an old bucket with rags and invert it onto the Water Siren. From the manual, you could call Control Products Customer Service at 1-800-880-6000 and see if they have better advice or a product that better meets your needs. / Pete

Yes, I've paired my ZCOMBO smoke/CO detector. It only sends events (Test, Smoke, CO); you can't trigger the siren remotely.

It's pretty high pitched. I have trouble hearing it. It would be a great alarm if "alert" was lower frequency and a bit louder.

Sorry I don't remender if it had audible alert. I return it because it didn't like it's function. Bought a Magellan Switch

No it does not make sound. It is only the Sensor, it would need to be connected to a Security system with a separate alarm

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?

To silience the beeping sound when tripped, cut the cable going to the speaker in the main unit, but this will silence the main unit as well and you will need the remote siren to have sound. I don't know of a way to do it by programming. Hope this helps.

I have sensitive ears, so the alarm was so loud to me that I didn't just let it go to see if it reset itself. I just shut it off physically. Hope that helps.
