Wifi window detector

So far, working better than expected. I recently converted the lights in my basement to smart lights. This is a utility basement for laundry and storage. So, just a few overhead leds conected to one light socket where I added a smart socket. I found it to be a pain to remember to ask Alexa to turn the lights on before heading down there so I was looking for a solution. This door sensor is perfect. I have it on the basement door leading from by kitchen. When I open the door, by the time I get down 2 or 3 stairs, it has already turned the lights on for me. When I come up and close the door, it shuts the lights off. Setting it up was pretty simple. I think that's partly because the SmartLife app works very well and typically finds any new device. But it connected on my first attempt and so far hasn't given me any issues. Honestly, I was worried because it didn't need a hub and the price was very good compared to similar options. I'm very pleased with this.

The good: - The device makes no sound - The magnet pull is abysmally weak, so while it's nothing that you need to push/pull through, it still works - 2 AAA batteries - easy to replace - The notifications and alerts *generally* work reliably - It's relatively small. I feel it cold be smaller, but adding in the AAA battery compartment, it makes a bit of sense that it's not The bad: - Requires an app. Not necessarily obtained through third-party sites. I actually got the app first before the device. - Adding the device to the app is a bit painful. You'll likely need to do it twice (to familiarize yourself with the process the first time) unless your phone is setup to grant absolutely all permissions to everything immediately - Alerts work, but by default, it's the most obnoxious and urgent-sounding alarm... for a door being opened/closed/low battery. NOTE: This uses "alert notifications" not "notifications", so on glorious Android, this can be altered to your liking pretty easily so that you have a distinct, calmer, alert notification sound for this app - There's a flashing light. I understand that it needs to have some level of direct communication, and it's small enough to cover with tape or something, but still. When I get things that start beeping and flashing, my first goal is to prevent them from beeping or flashing The Ugly: - The app refuses to work unless you grant location permissions - PRECISE location permissions. This is apparently a one-time thing, as after setup, you can remove the permission. The app cries about it, but will continue to work. - You cannot connect this bluetooth/wifi device with only bluetooth. You need to give it (via the app) your wifi password. - Many features you'd expect, like alternate notifications outside the app cost additional money on a subscription basis. I'm fine with just the app notifications, personally. Get a notification forwarding app if this will bug you. - If you are looking into this product because you want to stay away from Tuya, I have some bad news for you. - Made in China

It’s great for a very basic set up. The notification is thru your phone only. Setup was fairly easy. Not sure yet how long the batteries will last, but the phone app does show battery level. Linked it to Google Assistant and the app doesn’t show any info for the alarms, but the hub does show the battery life and the window status as open or closed. The alarm sound is based on your phone value only. The alarm sound does not play thru Google Nest or Google Mini so compatibility is very very limited to seeing the battery level and window status only on the hub only. Quality works for the price point and connectivity seems good so far. There’s about a 10 second delay from the window being open to when the notification and sound comes thru on my phone. I’m not sure if you get more features with Alexa but was really hoping the alarm sound or an announcement could be made thru Google so that was a little disappointing by the compatibility features.

No instructions with products and unable to them on line in company’s web site ; communication with company does not help in support section nor help section , nor get a reasonable response to submitting a “relevant ticket”.

I use this to monitor the comings and goings of an elderly family member who lives alone. The best things about this device are it works, it doesn't need a hub, it's inexpensive and it's easy to sync the device to the SmartLife app. It's a simple solution to monitor the door. On the app, you can choose to get the audio alarm and notification on your phone when the door opens and/or closes; there's no sound from the device itself. You also get a record of when the sensor is turned on (when the door opens) and turned off (when the door closes). The cons are you cannot independently adjust the alarm volume on your phone and you have to buy the services for SMS or Phone notification.

This Wi-Fi door sensor gets the job done and works flawlessly once you get it set up. Installation was straightforward and quick, but I found the setup process a bit confusing, mostly because the instructions were poorly written. A clearer manual or better-designed app would definitely improve the experience. That said, after navigating through the initial setup, the sensor has performed perfectly. It’s reliable and responsive, and I’ve had zero issues with Alexa integration. The door open announcements work seamlessly, which has been incredibly helpful for monitoring my elderly grandmother, who sometimes gets up in the middle of the night. Overall, this sensor is fully functional and dependable after you get it up and running. If the company improves the app and instructions, it would easily be a five-star product. Still, it’s a great purchase if you’re willing to spend a bit of extra time on the setup.

Works great

Really good and easy to use BUT it stopped connecting to my wifi after a while and now I can’t get it to connect again pls fix this

I sensori sono facili da collegare con il tel grazie alla sua app, una volta montati con l'app aperta ho dovuto schiacciare il tasto reset per riuscire a collegarli, una volta accoppiati funzionano subito, basta settare le funzioni di allarme dalla sua app per decidere quando deve partire l'allarme (che fa suonare il tel e non il sensore), inoltre l'app tiene registrata la cronologia delle aperture e chiusure delle finestre o porte di ogni sensore, unica pecca, sono un pochino lenti a far scattare l'allarme, per ora ne ho due e sembra funzioni tutto bene, in caso contrario modificherò la recensione.

Had something like this before from another manufacturer but it failed when the batteries ran out. Decided to replace with a different manufacturer. This device also uses the Smart Life app which was an important specification to me as I wanted to avoid using another proprietary app to manage all these devices. Easy to pair up with the 2.4ghz WiFi and all done and dusted in a matter of minutes. Works well and is a tad faster to provide notifications to my phone when compared with my old sensor which was 2 years old. I opted for using these to monitor my home as they are not expensive and can easily expand using many different sensors from a wide range of manufacturers.

Die besten Türkontakte die ich je hatte, Batterien rein die Kontakte richten sich von selbst ein, W LAN etc.

Ne fonctionne plus après une semaine

Wie immer schnell und gut verpackt geliefert. Mit dem Auspacken, einsetzen der AAA Batterien und Installation der Smart Life App ging die Einrichtung der Sensoren (inklusive Namensgebung) super einfach und schnell. Habe dafür ein Gastnetzwerk eingerichtet (da man die SSID und Passwort in der App eingeben muss), funktioniert 100 prozentig mit leichter Verzögerung. In der App kann man die Sensoren unter SET auch für Open und Close mit einfachen Schiebereglern aus und einschalten. So kann man wenn man Zuhause ist auch mal ein Fenster (Tür) öffnen ohne Alarm auszulösen. Würde ich immer wieder kaufen.
