Do you have to have a smart phone to use, will this lock set off an alarm that can be heard from the door lock itself &amp; not have to go thru a phone?

The lock does have a built in alarm with siren. You can program it without a smartphone and the lock works without a smartphone.

For it to call a phone number you do, alarm will still work with out phone line, it just can't call out. Amazon does have wireless phone jacks that plug into power outlet that work pretty good if you have a room with out a phone jack.

The lock alone will not do this but if you had another device such as a wink hub or similar device you can. The wink device is very basic and you can trigger an event and it will notify you when the door has been unlocked. You can also remotely unlock or lock the door. The only drawback to the wink for this is you cannot distinguish what code was entered. So if my son had a different code than my wife I could not tell who unlocked it, just that it was unlocked. There are other hubs that allow this, one from staples does and I am being toD wink will support this soon.

This unit does not have anyway to connect to a wired or wireless switch system for doors and windows. It only senses a human being physically walking around in the room that unit is located in. Then it does one of two things. #1. Sounds it's siren and dials a phone number(s) and plays a recorded message to alert the dialed party(s) that the alarm has been tripped. Or you can keep the alarm silent and still have the unit silently dial a phone number(s) and play a recorded message to alert the dialed party(s) that the alarm has been tripped. That's it. With an OBI 100 VOIP Telephone Adapter for about $50.00 and VOIP phone service from PhonePower.com for $35.00 per year and using Google Voice (free) to ring my various phone numbers, I have a very inexpensive, very reliable and very effective burglar alarm system for my home configuration. There is another model that has a remote control that might be more convenient for some people or when installing and working with units in multiple rooms. Hope this information helps.

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

No it doesn't. The alarm goes off and you can hear it anywhere in the house so you run to turn it off LOL

No. The Bluetooth function doesn't sync up with the alarm. You can have your phone hooked up via Bluetooth to play music though. But the alarm only has tr radio, standard beeping, and vibration.

Thanks for your interests. If you just want it for alarm purpose, you do not need to connect it to a phone line or internet. When you want it to call, you need to connect it to a phone line.Hope the information helps you a lot.

yes, you will need to bypass alarm.. also, you will need to put a spare key in the box i think.. make sure you buy it only if you have two keys with chip in them..

I tried to use without alarm but foind it would not dial without the 9 volt battery installed. I suppose you could disable the speaker or cover it with tape.

Dear Paul,Thank you for contacting us. This alarm can be used for either self monitoring or for professional monitoring. It just needs to be connected to a land line or voip phone service.Sincerely,Andrew

Hi, it can be used with alarms that have a phone jack and the dialing out feature. Thanks.

No, it is one way communication between lock and pager. The pager will sound if the alarm goes off, but pager does NOT communicate with lock.

You can only lock it from the outside with the key, but that defeats the purpose of the digital lock doesn't it. You have to turn the lock before you go out, or open the door and turn it. I can only guess that there is alarm system involved here.

YES. You can lock it out or just turn it off. There is a hold button which stops the timer and you just close the door by any means you already have. Or just turn it off if you prefer. The one downside is that it can close with you outside if you don't hear the alarm. So you should have a way back into the house either a hidden key, a wireless external keyboard.

Hi Dr. Richey, My particular unit is connected to my iPhone 6 and has an alarm on/off setting. But I have not turned it on during use yet.

In order for it to call out if an alarm is tripped you have to have it connected to a landline. Once it connected though, you can program it to call a cellphone. (I've had a few false alarms and got calls on my cell). Hope this helps!
