Smart door and window sensors

Ideal for enhancing an existing security setup or starting a basic perimeter alert system for any living space.

Smart door and window sensors send an alert when a door or window opens, either through a hub or straight to a phone. They suit anyone starting a simple home alert setup and make an easy add-on for someone who already owns a security system.
