Claim 11:
12. A method implemented by a premise device for monitoring in a premises monitoring system, the premises device comprising at least one switching element that is switchable between a first position and second position, an electromechanical switch in electrical communication with the at least one switching element, the electromechanical switch being triggerable to a closed position by a magnetic field, an alignment indicator in electrical communication with the at least one switching element, the alignment indicator being configured to indicate the electromechanical switch is aligned for monitoring, a sensor in electrical communication with the at least one switching element, a power element in electrical communication with the sensor, at least one switching element, and the alignment indicator;
the method comprising:
in response to the at least one switching element being in the first position:
electrically connecting the alignment indicator and power element to the electromechanical switch;
electrically disconnecting the sensor from the electromechanical switch; and

in response to the electromechanical switch being triggered to the closed position by the magnetic field, emit visual, audio and/or haptic feedback based on alignment of the electromechanical switch for monitoring.
