The accessories coming out soon will be an external siren (even louder), external sensors so you can expand the YETI territory and flood, freeze, fire detectors. Let me know if there is something you'd like to add to the list - our engineers are crazy smart and love to add stuff!

I wish one of the companies would come out with a remote that would know when YOU are close to the trailer. I have to go to the trailer fairly often during the day and I don't like the idea of having to arm and disarm it every time. I would like one that senses the remote is in the area and just gives off a quiet chirp to know it sees you, then rearms when you walk away. That would be nice. also have a paging remote so you know instantly when the alarm goes off. Brew I have been looking at these systems for my work trailer.

I wonder if it senses breaking glass. Also wonder what accessories will be available.

It does not have a sensitivity adjustment, but it has been tested roadside near street construction and the trucks and equipment did not produce a false alarm. It's also unlikely that thunder could produce a false alarm either. On solid ground or in the back of a truck, it’s unlikely you would get these types of false alarms.

Thunder or a big truck passing nearby would trigger it. I wonder if you can adjust the sensitivity. If it can detect footsteps up to eight feet away, it may have a lot of false alarms.
