Window Sensors

---

Did I close the windows and doors at home? We’ve all had that sinking feeling at some point after leaving home that we didn’t close them and it always seems to strike at some really inopportune moment. With all key entry points and windows equipped with contact sensors and by having the Element Pro's app installed on your Phone or Ipad/tablet, you’ll be able to see at a glance whether you actually closed them, anytime, anywhere. If your alarm is set and a window gets opened or closed you will be notified and our alarm monitoring company will be quick to react.

There is a huge variety of different window and door sensors: 

• wired and wireless 
• surface mount and recessed
• some with terminals and others with solderable leads
• big ones and small ones
• and those that actuate only when the magnet is ½” close 
• and others where it can be several inches away

Depending on which stage of construction your home/business is in we can help decide which sensors best fit into your home.

A big part of any home automation/security system is the contact sensors that let you monitor the state of the windows and doors. A contact sensor is a simple electrical switch that is operated by an applied magnetic field. When the moving window or door is closed the magnet is close enough to magnetically actuate the reed switch and cause it to change state. When the window or door is open the magnetic field is no longer sufficient to actuate the reed switch. This gives indication of the open/closed state of the window or door.
