Description of SwitchBot Door Alarm Contact Sensor - Enhance Home Security with Wireless Window Alarm & Door Sensor, Alexa Compatible

[Window & Door Alarm Sensor for Home Security] SwitchBot Contact Sensor can detect the opening/closing of doors and windows, guarding security of the elderly, children, and pets. With the built-in light sensor, it will automatically trigger the Switchbot Bot to turn on the light when someone moves when the environment goes dark. The magnets need to be aligned with the bottom of the body, and the distance between the two components needs to be less than 1.2 inches (30mm). [Detects People Leaving or Entering the Home] With the built-in motion sensor, Contact Sensor will know whether you are leaving or coming home, making it possible to trigger the different actions you set in the "Scene" in the SwitchBot app. When it detects you leaving home, the appliances will automatically turn off, and when it detects you coming home, the appliances will automatically turn on. (SwitchBot Hub Mini required). [Easy to Install & Place It Anywhere] Thanks to the small and wireless design with long battery life, you can install Contact Sensor tool-free and get it set up in seconds. Place it on a medicine box to track whether the elderly are taking their medication, or place it on your pet's cage to know if your kitten has slipped away. [Part of the SwitchBot Ecosystem] Connect Contact Sensor with other SwitchBot products and set up a ”Scene“ in the SwitchBot app. When windows are opened, the SwitchBot Bot will be triggered to turn off the Air purifier automatically. [Remote Alert Notification & Voice Alarm from Alexa] You will receive a door-open alert notification on your phone if a suspicious person enters the house while you are away. Alexa will start a voice alarm to scare off any burglars, ensuring your apartment security.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Good

Works best with household sensors and alarms

Works as expected. I have it on the apartment door and on the front door. I also have a mini hub and some switches on my breakers. He warns me every time the door is opened. Love it. Would buy again

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Easy to use and useful

This sensor is easy to install and use. Just follow the instructions carefully. I mounted it on the front door. Even though I live in a safe community, this sensor still gives me a greater sense of security. In addition, it seems that if you connect this sensor to other Switchbot products, it can also help to automate many other settings. I think I will learn more about their products. We are truly entering an intellectual age!

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Good but not great

Very limited Alexa integration

Alexa integration (requires your hub or mini-hub) limited to open/close contact sensor. No other functions are supported. You can't start Alexa Routines with a contact's touch button, proximity sensor, or ambient light sensor. I was particularly disappointed that the button wasn't supported because I was hoping this device would replace the Echo button I'm starting the process with now. This touch sensor can really only be used to trigger scenes created with the Switchbot app to control other…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Another great addition to the SwitchBot family!

This is a great little gadget from Switchbot. It is easy to install and instantly detects a closed or open door. This works great in the Switchbot app and was recognized and set up very quickly. I installed it at the top of the front door and it was incredibly easy. Just peel off the 3M tape and stick it on. and then it is installed. I can now use the touch sensor in the Alexa app using the procedure to link it to other home automation software! This way it's pretty easy to program the…

Pros
  • Very Good Price
Cons
  • Incredible Piggy Bank
