I am going to have a gravel driveway paved. Would there be any advantage or disadvantage of installing the sensor wire under the pavement beforehand?

Before paving, I buried a thick walled pvc pipe across the driveway so that the ends of the pipe went beyond the edge of the driveway and were accessible. After, they paved the driveway, I fed the sensor into the pipe using a pole marked so I knew when to stop pushing leaving the sensor midway in the driveway. I adjusted the sensitivity and it works great and if I ever have to replace or repair it, I can simply slide it out of the pipe.

Can you hook up an additonal audio alert in a differnt location from the receiver?

Yes, you can have multiple senders and receivers ( w multiple alert sounds too)

Can the probe be located in a way tht only incoming vehicles are detected?

The probe detects vehicles up to about 10 feet (3m) away. You can learn more on how to position the transmitter at [http://dakotaalert.com/kcmsLite/assets/docs/DCPT_4000.pdf].

Is the receiver compatible with google home?

No, the DCR-4000 Receiver is only compatible with Dakota Alert BBT-4000, DCHT-4000, DCMT-4000, DCPT-4000, and UT-4000 Transmitters.
