Yes, you could leave the window open and still arm the house. If the sensor at the window is open when you arm the system, the alarm will not trip on that sensor until it is closed and then opened again.

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 agree with Steve's comment too. What is the time between kicking back on? If you have to many windows and doors open in the house the heat will quickly flow back into the house. Doors and most of the windows should be closed, leave a few windows slightly open an inch or two.

Why doesn't this have settings? I would like a LOUD alarm when I unintentionally left the door ajar. Last night, someone left the door open and the upper shelf was hot in the morning because the light was on all night. Having it on a tilt won't matter if there is something blocking it from closing. I would hate for my door to be intentionally ajar - putting in groceries, cleaning frig - and have a continual chiming. Others might like this if they want to know when people are raiding the frig, lol. Anyway, these things need settings.

There are 2 metal latches on the inside of the window that are spring loaded and will lock shut into desired position. So when the window is down you cannot open it from the outside.

You can collapse it so it isn't standing up in case of strong winds. If you live in an area with year-round moderate weather, you should be able to leave it outside, but I do recommend collapsing it when not in use.

No an adult can not open from the outside. We had a major storm come through a few weeks ago and I went outside to make sure everything was moved so nothing would take flight. Well apparently I only had the lock half out and it simehow managed to lock as I was outside. I tried my hardest to get in side. Rain was pouring and I finally talked my 5 year old into getting the lock back out just in the nick of time. Talk about a close call. I definelty feel safer about someone trying to get in.

yes you have to open the window. there is a 8-10 inch high panel that fits in the window and you attach the exhaust pipe to that. When you close the window, it holds the panel in place (not perfectly). you should check out Home Depot -- I was there recently and saw they have newer LG models -- smaller , sleeker and cheaper.

No, it does not have to be open. You will still be able to open and close the window if you'd like, though. The perch sits on the window ledge - it does not touch the actual window.

No you can't leave it unlocked, once you shut door it locks, you use key overide you have to remove small circle cover and place key

No, you can close the window openings on the sides and back but the front stays open. I also thought that I would want one that totally closed but that would be more money for one that does. This was a nice alternative to having an umbrella up that would blow over. Two adult beach chairs and a cooler fit nicely!

You have to be able to run the straps through the van at the top of the window. If you can do that with sliding window. If that mean leaving the windows open to do it better hope it doesn't rain or it's not too cold. You'll have to make that call yourself. But the straps stretch from one side to the other and the be cinched down tight, with no slack at all.

Yes. You can open and close the door from anywhere. Also I'm getting prompt alerts whenever door is open or closed.

I'm sorry. I meant to respond to you sooner. Yes you can leave the door open but you may have to squeeze by unless the door opens all the way back. My cat loved this thing and it's very neat and strong. It doesn't take up as much room as the towers that set up in corners. I got the bigger one, put towels on the floor of each level, and sprinkled a little catnip on each floor to get my cat to explore it. I think it's a great invention. I hope this helps.

I bought some stops from home depot that screw into the window. so yes, you can. It's not wonderful but it works so far. I guess if someone wanted in they could just manhandle it.

I always open a window and point it about 20 to 25 feet away from where I live to a house next door. I am thinking that it would work without getting up.

Possibly - depends on how stuck the window is. The pole is rather strong and if you have a place to "grip" - it might work. Without a handle, you could press against the top of the pane-frame joint and then for closing just pull down on the top of the window. But if it is really stuck - like most of my windows - pushing against the pane-frame joint sufficiently might just break the window.

There are flaps with Velcro at the bottom to close the windows or you can roll them and tie them up to keep them open. There is a square mesh window on the backside also.
