Strong Protection
Where It Matters Most.
Your doors and windows are the most vulnerable entry points for intruders—and that’s where the Door Window Sensor 8 stands guard. With precise detection of open, close, and tilt movements, it instantly alerts your smart home system of any unauthorized access. Combined with Z-Wave Long Range reliability, the sensor ensures that no matter the size of your home, every door and window is monitored and protected.

Optimize Your Home’s Climate Control.
The Door Window Sensor 8 does more than protect your home—it helps create a healthier and more comfortable living environment. By connecting to your smart home system, it can automatically switch off heating or air conditioning when a window is opened, saving energy while you ventilate.
Keeps Your Rooms Healthy.
With its built-in temperature and humidity monitoring, the sensor also detects high humidity levels and warns of potential mold risks. It continuously tracks the dew point and notifies you when it’s time to air out your home again. And because it precisely monitors the actual opening and closing of your windows, you’ll always know if ventilation really took place—whether the window is open or the AC is running.
One Sensor. Endless Possibilities.
The Door Window Sensor 8 is more than a door and window protector—it’s a multi-purpose tool that makes your home safer, more secure, and more efficient. Thanks to its smart features and integrated 3-axis sensor, it can be adapted to a wide range of everyday needs.
