## What is Alarmi?

Alarmi is a mobile alarm system for your pocket with which you can protect your iPhone and many other things from theft or unauthorized access. 

Alarmi is ready for use in just a few moments and can be used whenever a conventional, permanently installed alarm system is too inflexible, too complicated or too expensive for you.

This is what Alarmi can do:
> detects movements and noises
> activates and deactivates automatically
> alerts you on your Apple Watch or on a second iPhone
> controls external alarm devices via Bluetooth (siren, alarm light)
> enables tracking of objects
> works completely in the background

Here's how you use Alarmi (some examples).

# ON THE BEACH
Beach idyll with towel, umbrella and lots of sand: But who will keep an eye on your phone, your car keys or your wallet when you go swimming?

Put your iPhone in your beach bag along with your valuables.  When you go swimming, lock your iPhone. If your beach bag moves and your iPhone is not unlocked, the iPhone will generate a very loud and distinctive alarm sound. The alarm sound can only be turned off by unlocking your iPhone. You will also receive a notification on your Apple Watch or on a second iPhone.

# ON THE MOVE (e.g. sightseeing, shopping).
Alarmi can watch your purse or photo gear. As soon as your photo backpack or handbag moves away from you, you will receive a notification on your Apple Watch. An alert sound will be played on the (remote) iPhone or a voice message you pre-defined will be played. The location of your luggage is continuously recorded.

# HOTEL OR VACATION RENTAL.
Want to know if someone is in your hotel room or vacation home? Activate the noise monitoring! As soon as someone is in the room, iPhone will sound an alarm and send a notification to all devices linked to your Apple ID.
 
# IN YOUR CAR
Your beloved YoungTimer is 30 years old and doesn't have an immobilizer or alarm system? 

Maybe you still have an older iPhone in the drawer (Alarmi works with iOS14 or newer and iPhone 6s or newer). Your alarm starts when you leave the vehicle (with Apple Watch) or lock the iPhone. When the vehicle moves or sounds are detected in the vehicle, you will receive a notification on your Apple Watch or other iOS device linked to your Apple ID.

# IN THE MOTORHOME OR CARAVAN.
Renting a mobile home without intrusion protection? Or you have an older camper for which the purchase of a professional and expensive alarm system is not worth it?

The theft and burglary protection for mobile homes and caravans works similarly to the "# IN YOUR VEHICLE" application example described above. For mobile homes or caravans, however, it is advisable to use another battery-powered alarm. Alarmi can be connected to a radio-controlled Bluetooth relay for this purpose. With this relay you can control sirens or signal lamps. For motorhomes, you can even cut off the fuel supply for a simple immobilizer.

Compatible Bluetooth relays and alarm sirens can be found on Amazon for a few euros (a list of compatible models can be found in the app settings under the menu item "Information on compatible relays").

NOTE:
If you want to receive an alarm notification on another device, the second device (Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad) must have an internet connection and the same Apple ID as the alarming device! To receive alarm notification on iOS devices, download the additional app "Alarmi Client" from the App Store.
