[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 366016, member: 6705"] We've now set things up so that even if Onyxx leaves... She cannot get back in. Between the fact that she does not have a house key anymore... We have changed the code to the garage... and the coup de grace is - no one sleeps anywhere but their beds now - and we have a motion sensor on the end of the hallway. It can only be turned on or off via a remote, kept under MY pillow - I wake easier than husband - and if the angle is adjusted, it sees that as motion (well, the room is moving around it, right?)... BUT... It doesn't go off immediately. It takes 30 seconds. Enough for me or husband to get to the remote - and enough for Onyxx to make it to the front door/back door/garage and show intent. Even if she manages to crawl under (high enough the dog and cats don't set it off), the open plan means it catches the front and back doors opening - or the fridge... She could crawl all the way to the garage, but she wouldn't be able to close the garage door. OK, so she leaves it open... And comes back, closes it from inside, gets to the hallway... And sets off the alarm. I figure if she can remember all the crawling after being out... I can only do so much!!! [/QUOTE]
