Your home's second layer of security

The foundation of any robust security setup starts at the perimeter.

While cameras watch the outside, smart window and door sensors act as an immediate, invisible tripwire for a property.

By utilizing highly reliable, sleek, and affordable options from leading brands like IKEA (VALLHORN / PARASOLL), a home can be retrofitted with intelligent sensors that track every entry point without impacting interior styling.

Instant Mobile Notifications

Traditional alarm systems only help after a break-in has occurred. Smart contact sensors are designed to provide immediate situational awareness the second a boundary is breached.

If a window or door is opened while the system is armed, a high-priority alert is sent directly to a mobile phone within milliseconds, detailing exactly which room has been breached.

Automated Siren Triggering

These sensors link directly to an audible smart alarm system. Forced entry will automatically sound a loud siren to startle the intruder and alert neighbours, while simultaneously pushing video feeds from external cameras to the phone app.

The Evening Lock-Up Routine

One of the most common security lapses is simply forgetting to close a window after a warm day, or leaving a door unlatched. When sensors are tied to a central smart hub, the system handles the thinking automatically.

The smart hub can be programmed to run a silent check at a specific time every evening or exactly at sundown.

If the lounge window, utility door, or a side gate has been left open, the system will send a gentle reminder to the phone: "The kitchen window is still open."

Garage Door Timers

Sensors can be configured with custom timers—if the garage door remains open for more than 15 minutes, an automatic reminder is sent to prevent a property from being left vulnerable.

Hidden Benefits of Smart Contact Sensors

1. Slashing Heating Bills If a window is left wide open while the central heating is blasting, energy and money are wasted. Sensors can be linked directly to smart radiator thermostats (TRVs). If a bedroom window is opened to let in fresh air, the heating in that specific room turns off automatically, turning back on only when the window is securely shut.
2. Protecting Valuable Spaces Sensors aren't just for exterior boundaries. They can be placed on internal doors, such as medicine cabinets, alcohol cupboards, or home offices containing sensitive paperwork, ensuring a notification is triggered if unauthorized hands try to open them.

Intelligent Sensor Scenarios

Expert Calibration and Integration

For contact sensors to be effective, they must be perfectly aligned, securely mounted, and properly grouped into "Home", "Away", and "Night" modes within a smart hub.
