How does it know when you are about to wet the bed?

It has a ONE silly trumpet sound. One tone alarms are known to cause auditory accommodation. You will find information regarding 'Auditory Accommodation' on Google.

It clips to your undies and then it sounds the alarm with only 4 drops of moisture. So they do get up and go to the bathroom and then they have to change thier undies. He doesn't have to change his bedding, just his undies.

No alarm knows when the child is going to wet, Only when the wetness gets to the sensor can the alarm know and turn on. For children who have no control about voiding their bladder, I would suggest putting on some sort of diapers OVER the briefs and sensor to catch extra urine that may soil the bedclothes and bed.

No it doesn't, it has a blue "lid" that tells you if the water is too hot. Be careful, my baby used to play with this and the paint came off easily.

I know this is going to be an odd answer - but our lovely cat doesn't like when dad is out of town, well her way of expressing her displeasure is by peeing on his side of the bed during the night. The few times she has done it we have had nothing soak thru to the mattress itself.

I am not sure. My sensor is only 1 foot away and it turns itself on. It also senses moisture in the humid northeast and will sometimes turn on when it is raining outside and the windows are open. It probably will sense moisture from shower, but it may take awhile to work it's way over to the sensor.

What do you mean help with bed wetting? I wouldn't use it as a potty training or preventing bed wetting tecnique. But to put on your mattress in case there is an accident, it works just fine. My three year old has at least one accident a month, all we do it strip the sheets, wipe the plastic cover down with a washcloth and good to go.

I don't know that you have to, but we generally try to. Otherwise, the trigger might get inadvertently pressed and you're going to have water all over your bathroom.

No, it is on the bottom of the cup that you use to measure the amount of water to use. Just turn the cup upside down and you will see it. :-)

You control when it is on. You also control the direction and the volume of water good deal.

You should use this device when your feet are dry - before a bath or shower, not after.

Try pressing the button on top and checking the sensor area for moisture. If it's attached to moist or wet underwear then it will alarm. You can also unplug the sensor from the box.

In addition to the above, keep in mind that water has to pool around the cord. Not a lot, but you need a blob of water about the size of a dime crossing between contact points on the cord to set it off, so it may not detect dripping water unless it's on the floor where the water ends up.

No, it does not. It does recommend using a waterproof mattress pad for protection, though. I picked up one for about $30 for the full size bed. Very comfortable topper, by the way. Love mine.

To a certain it is. If you're working with a ton of water for more then 5 hours it seem to have the water start soaking in a little bit but not actually getting you wet.

No because the clip with the sensor needs to be directly to the underwear because it feels wet and so it activates the alarm and, this is my opinion, the boy or girl needs to feel the sensation of wetness.

It installs like a standard Z-Wave device, include it to your controller and set up a rule to alert you if it detects water. The water detection is accomplished with two metal probes, meaning it would need to touch the water.

I have my sensor placed on the floor next to my mothers bed. It took some trial and error to get placement right but now when anything goes off the top of the bed, foot , sock etc. the alarm sounds and I look at the video monitor to see if she's awake or if need to go in.

When it is in that position it is for when you are soaking the inside with a cleaning solution. It also hangs the other way to drip dry
