Why Us?

In early December I ordered your Control Products Intermediate Freeze Alarm; it came in good time, but it was defective. The program would not read a “0” in a phone number. When I called about it, the representative said he would send out an immediate replacement since I needed before going away for two weeks at Christmas. It came in time; I returned the defective unit; and I was able to set it up myself. Now here’s the good part: I hadn’t been away one night when I received an email from a friend who had agreed to take an emergency alarm call, saying that she had received a call in the middle of the night. She notified the oil company as instructed and they came to check the next day. What they found was not a problem with the oil burner (the reason for buying the alarm) but that I had inadvertently left the door from the house to the breezeway ajar in my haste to put suitcases in the car. Thank goodness for the freeze alarm, which was located not too far from the back door! I had left it set for 45 degrees, and it saved everything: plants and pipes, and it kept out anyone tempted to intrude. The icing on the cake was no charge from the oil company.

So many thanks for a great product and great customer service!

Hi Garnet,

The package was on my door step when I got home form work on Friday. I setup the two base stations and the Hand held and everything works great. It is exactly what I was looking for and everything works crystal clear. I havent tried the sensor yet, but Ill set that up this week. Thanks for your feedback, information and guidance.

This is Greg from Tennessee, I received the alarm on Wednesday and hooked it up right away. It works great and the antenna wasnt even extended for me to get reception. I just wanted you to know that I am very happy with this system and appreciate all your help.

Thanks again,

Just writing to let you know how great the driveway alert product is! It has worked flawlessly since I got it almost a year ago. I had a proximity type before that and it did not work well at all (and it was always ringing when the deer were about). But this hose type is perfect. Ive recommended it (and your company) to several neighbors.

Just wanted to let you know that I have thoroughly appreciated the property paging system I ordered from you in October. It has worked flawlessly. I am hard of hearing and never knew when someone was coming in until they were right on me or at my door. Now with the vibrating pager I never get surprised. I really love it!! My mom is hard of hearing as well so I have just ordered her one for Christmas. When she drives in to visit she has to search for me for five to ten minutes (I work outside on about 20 acres) or eventually call me up on my cell phone to find me. Now I am approaching her as soon as she drives in. She is been really impressed with it. I cannot wait for her to open her Christmas present. No doubt it will be one of the best presents I have ever gotten for her.
Sincerely,
Casey

Thanks so much for the excellent device. It is great- just as my friends had described.
Have a nice weekend.

Hi,
Just wanted to say how please we are with this driveway alarm. We have had it for over a year now and it has worked extremely well, no matter what the weather; from extreme heat in summer to extreme cold in winter. ( Occasionally in high winds with things blowing around, it will set off a false alarm..totally understandable) Since we don not have any windows at the driveway side of the house, this alarm is perfect for alerting us to visitors. They are often surprised to find us waiting for them at the front door. :-)

This is just a short note to say thank you very much for all your help in our recent purchase of the WMA3000 driveway alert.The purchase, payment and shipping went extremely smoothly, and the unit works very well as described. In short, we are very happy!! Again, thanks so much for your great assistance. it really is great to see that SOME companies (such as yours) are still run in such a friendly and efficient manner. It makes the whole buyer process a joy instead of getting a feeling that your a nuisance!
All the best,

I have installed my unit and it works wonderfully. I could not be more satisfied. I will be back to order more. My brother will be ordering one, I think today, and I will be needing another for our hunting lodge this spring. There is no doubt in my mind that your sensor is superior to all others. I have had experiences with three different makers , all failed.

Thank you! I received my order today. Great service!
Btw, the Dakota Alert is excellent!! Our lane is approx 800 feet long, up a hill, around a bend and through the trees. Our chimes ring everytime someone drives in. It is great.
Best regards,
Cathie

Thanks for returning my call this morning. Your explanations and information were most helpful.
I just ordered another TH106 and an FGD0101. Good support generates more sales!

You most certainly are welcome to use my testimonial. Again, let me say..Your system worked flawlessly from the moment I set it up. I am ecstatically happy with my purchase. *smile*
Thank You very much.

Dear Sandra,
The Dakota Wireless Probe Alert WPA3000 I ordered, arrived yesterday morning, just as you said when I ordered. Thank you for the excellent, quick service.
I installed the unit shortly thereafter and it works just great! Seriously, I had purchased a relatively inexpensive IR device previously which never did work. This system worked the first time I tested it. Just as advertised.
I live on a Farm in the country and recently blacktopped my driveway which had previously been gravel for 35 years. Since paving the driveway, neither my wife nor I would hear vehicles coming down the lane and were often surprised by folks at our door. The alarm I purchased from you works flawlessly and we are both very happy with this alarm system. It may sound silly, but I am ecstatic about how well the system works and the adjustments (tones and sound level) that are available.
Thank you so very much for an excellent product, that does, just what it is supposed to do. *smile*

Michelle,
I received the radios today and they are perfect, thank you for the excellent service.

Hello,
I received both the Dakota 3000 driveway probe system and the motiondetector attachment and I am so happy to say just how asy they are to install and how good they both work. Already today, we were alerted to a motor scooter coming into the driveway and the UPS delivery truck. Since we can not see our driveway from our living space, the driveway monitor is a life savor and lets us know when someone is coming to the house. Thanks again for your help in ordering these items and the super fast shipping.

Thanks Michelle,
The delivery was amazing, I received the items last Thursday. I think I only ordered them on Sunday.
Thanks again, the driveway alarm is up and running.

Well, I received your Wireless 1000 Entry Alert System yesterday, and I installed it in my garage last night.
The system works great. I have it monitoring a vertical fan shaped "curtain" that covers my entire garage door opening. No matter what I did there was no sneaking past the alarm, but because the "beam" is very tight you can walk right up to the garage door opening from either inside or outside, and it does not false alarm. Excellent!
Thanks,

Hello: We bought a Dakota alert 3000 a couple of weeks ago, and we love it! We have a very long driveway, and have needed something to alert us to visitors, and the Dakota alert 3000 fits our needs perfectly. It was easy to install, and is simple to use. Our only regret is that we did not buy it sooner.
Thank you,

"Thanks Margaret - it arrived the next day - you folks do an outstanding job!
I will get this latest addition set up at our cottage and will get back to you on a couple other purchases we are considering -I have purchased two and "sold" several Freeze Alarms at work and to relatives - all are very pleased with your product -
Thanks again -"

"A couple of months ago I purchased the Sensaphone 1104 Cottage Sitter for my vacation home on Cape Cod. On Sunday morning, Dec 26, 2004, 1:31 AM, while in New York for the holidays, I received a call from the Sensaphone indicating that I had lost power during a coastal snow storm. Power was to remain off for almost two days, but each call to the Sensaphone gave me peace of mind that the cottages temperature was being maintained above freezing. My only concern was that the units batteries would fail and I would lose contact with the unit. However, despite low battery indications, the unit continued to provide status updates throughout the crisis."

"Thank you for your help! We received the Freeze Monitor this morning. You were the only business I contacted that could get it here when we really needed it. I really appreciate the great service."

"I did receive the freeze alarm that I ordered for my parents; thanks so much for your help with getting this lined up for me. In fact, it was here the next day. I have been so impressed and utterly pleased with each of my buying experiences with Absolute Automation. I really appreciate the great customer service! Thanks for following up and have a great holiday season!"

"Thank you so much for your prompt shipping of the warranty unit. It was received on Friday, September 13,2002. .............. Thanks again for the concern and professionally way this situation was handled. I will be sure to pass that along to the other people that are interested in purchasing a unit."

Hi Absolute Automation, Early in 2002 we bought several Sensaphones and Water Bug detectors from you and we LOVE THEM! They have detected a burst pipe when the flood was minor, thus paid for themselves overnight !
Thanks, Lloyd :)

Dear "Absolute"
"A note of appreciation and thank you for the prompt delivery and excellent telephone service. I bought an Optex 1000 system several weeks ago and am completely satisfied with it...what I wanted to pass along to you was another application..........
My husband has Alzheimers disease, with the accompanying wandering urges, although he is too weak physically to get very far and falls a great deal. We have installed the Optex on the inside of his bedroom door so that every time he gets out of bed, we are alerted and can head him off. I believe that this has quite literally saved his life on several occasions. I have heard tales of other families who have installed elaborate burglar systems on every window and door at a cost of thousands........ I did a lot of research before purchasing, and there is nothing else like it on the market that I could find...the beauty of it is that the alarms sounds with me, and does not disturb him or frighten him with a loud shriek, although he does think that I am a witch for always knowing when he is on the move!!
........... I am spreading the word...the professional medical people who visit here at home are very impressed and will certainly recommend your company, it is great service, and the Optex.."
Thank you once again,
sincerely,

"The system has been installed since September 2001. It is working great. It is such a relief not to have any false alarms. My wife and I can rely with confidence on the system. Thank you so much for your help. "

P.S. ...even our pets depend on it. When it goes off they run to the window and look down the driveway in anticipation of visitors.

"Received my 1104 last week and set it up on the weekend, I am impressed! I now do not have to worry about my Spa / Hot Tub located at my cabin some 45min drive from my home. It was dead easy to programme and works very well. I have since told a friend about it and he is very interested in your products for his home while away. Thanks for getting it to me quickly so that I now have one less thing on my mind this winter and I can enjoy the Spa on the occasions I do get down there this winter........ thanks for the assistance in making this choice!"

I purchased a Sensaphone 1104 from you about 6 weeks ago. It works great, I have already saved my crop 1 time. I told a friend about the alarm. He is setting up and expanding a greenhouse operation right now. He said he was talking about getting something to monitor the greenhouse. I told him your Sensaphone works great.

I recently installed the Freeze Monitor int. and immediately had a chance to check its efficiency. That very night the oil burner went off and the temperature dropped. It functioned perfectly and called us.
David Gorman

Yes indeed, my package arrived today. I opened it up and everything looked great. Now all I have to do is get busy and install the unit so I have the protection this unit should provide. All of the components look to me to be top quality. I am impressed with the simplicity of the idea and the execution of the product by your company. Thanks again for providing homeowners like me with the added security that this provides for my investment in my home. This seems like a real bargain when I consider the nightmare of coming home to a flooded basement that I just spent thousands of dollars finishing.
I must say that I really appreciate the quick responses that I have received from you! Thanks again for your prompt replies to my messages!

Just wanted to let you know that my SU-WP4C is working excellent -- better than any other Driveway Sensor I have owned. It is half-way down my driveway trees in the way and all, but it sure lets me know when people are coming back to my home. Guess I have had it for 6 months or so -- still going strong!!

We have the infrared thingie. We were amazed at the delivery time.
Fabulous.

My 1104 arrived the day before the big blackout and only took minutes to hook up to my alarm system and program. The next day, at 4:17 p.m. the lights went out at work and 1 minute later the 1104 called from home to say “the electricity is off”!!!
Thanks

That is the Best, Fastest and Easiest order I have ever done - and I have been in UPS Telecom for 12 years. Thank you so much - I will be recommending your company!
Thank you, Jo Nelson

Wanted to let you know we received the unit and it is set up.
It is just great being able to check the temp in the house via long distance.
Gave your web sight info to our plumbing and Furnace
Company- so hope it generates some business for you.
Thank you so much for the fine service.

Thanks for the quick response. I received it on the 26th with a printed copy of a map stuck to it. I guess this must have been a new driver, because I received another package several days before. I am impressed with the price and your service. The shipping charge was also very reasonable. I have ordered from quite a few mail order companies and your service is definitely among the best.
Fred Stelter

Thank you so much. My driveway sensor is up and running and keeps me posted on who is coming up my long and winding driveway!!! Was recommended by someone I met just by chance. Another customer of yours from Thompson named Jack Carpenter.
Imagine my surprise when it was here the very next day!!! Thanks again.

Thanks so much for the excellent device. It is great- just as my friends had described.
