The Nest Secure system has an option called open tone. When Open Tone is enabled, and the alarm is set to Off , the Guard will sound a friendly tone when someone opens a door or window.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. There is a setting for doors and windows to chime. And even two different types of chimes. However the chimes are rather quiet. So unless you’re near the base station, you won’t hear it. We tried it. We have a single story home and with the base station in the hallway, we could not hear it in the kitchen. Which was about 40’ away and around one corner.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, there is a chime when one of the sensors (door or window) has been opened. They mention this in their installation literature, with the comment that it is helpful when you’re home and the child is not always in your direct vision, and you wish to know if they wander into the back yard. The sensors also are motion detectors, but that aspect doesn’t function until the system is armed, so you don’t hear chimes every few minutes all day long.
