I actually use this item a bit differently: My Gran is high fall risk/dementia and I use this in her bedroom to alert me when she gets out of bed in case I'm not in that area of the house. Installation is simply putting a nail in the wall and hanging it.

The alarm has 2 volumes: loud and holy crap you just gave me a heart attack loud.

Price is cheaper than what I paid for mine ($18).

I think I'm mainly going to use it as a tip off my mail is here so I can rush and get my package from Woot.

I love mine. I use it to alert me to when cats are using my planter box as a litter box. On semi-cloudy days, this will trigger every few minutes as clouds cause changes in shadows.

One nice thing about this is the receiver will also operate on rechargeable AA cells. AA batts are the same length as C cells and the drain isn't that high.

I own one of these already and it's crap. Would probably work fine inside the house (like suggested for granny), but as an actual "driveway" alarm, it's not worth the money. I had to go out and buy another because it wouldn't work.

FWIW, we have been using the same product sold by Harbor Freight for about a year and happy with them. The plastic has started to fade in the sun and I don't expect these units to last long. we have 2 detectors on the same channel at each entrance of a U-shaped drive. On cold (in Southern California) they can be triggered by condensation evaporating. Animals also set it off.

They "list" at $30 but are always on sale to some degree, we regularly get a coupon for $12.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
