Before you choose

What Should You Check Before Buying?

Use these door & window sensors requirements to narrow your shortlist, then verify each requirement for the exact model.

  1. Measure the gap and mounting space on the frame.
  2. Check battery type and low-battery reporting.
  3. Verify which hub or alarm system accepts the sensor.
  4. Test the automation behavior for open, closed and offline states.

These categories address related jobs. Check model-level compatibility before combining devices.

Door Locks

Smart door locks add electronic access control to a door. The lock mechanism, door preparation and supported entry methods determine whether a model fits your installation.

Motion Sensors

Motion sensors report movement in a detection area. Detection technology, placement and reporting behavior affect their usefulness for lighting and alerts.

Sirens

Connected sirens provide an audible or visual alert when triggered by a supported controller or device. Trigger compatibility and power backup determine how the alert system behaves.
