About this item
- [Window & Door Alarm Sensor for Home Security] SwitchBot Contact Sensor can detect the opening/closing of doors and windows, guarding security of the elderly, children, and pets. With the built-in light sensor, it will automatically trigger the Switchbot Bot to turn on the light when someone moves when the environment goes dark. The magnets need to be aligned with the bottom of the body, and the distance between the two components needs to be less than 1.2 inches (30mm).
- [Detects People Leaving or Entering the Home] With the built-in motion sensor, Contact Sensor will know whether you are leaving or coming home, making it possible to trigger the different actions you set in the "Scene" in the SwitchBot app. When it detects you leaving home, the appliances will automatically turn off, and when it detects you coming home, the appliances will automatically turn on. (SwitchBot Hub Mini required)
- [Easy to Install & Place It Anywhere] Thanks to the small and wireless design with long battery life, you can install Contact Sensor tool-free and get it set up in seconds. Place it on a medicine box to track whether the elderly are taking their medication, or place it on your pet's cage to know if your kitten has slipped away.
- [Part of the SwitchBot Ecosystem] Connect Contact Sensor with other SwitchBot products and set up a ”Scene“ in the SwitchBot app. When windows are opened, the SwitchBot Bot will be triggered to turn off the Air purifier automatically. (SwitchBot Hub required)
- [Remote Alert Notification & Voice Alarm from Alexa] You will receive a door-open alert notification on your phone if a suspicious person enters the house while you are away (SwitchBot Hub required). Alexa will start a voice alarm to scare off any burglars, ensuring your apartment security.

SwitchBot is your simple switch to a smart home. With easy setup, we help you to create a comfortable home with innovative smart home products.
SwitchBot Contact Sensor can do more than detecting window/door open and closed, making your home much more smart and safe.
Sense door/window open and closed
With a detection range of up to 16.4 ft (5m), 90° horizontally, and 55° vertically, SwitchBot Contact Sensor detects your door/window open and closed. The magnet part of SwitchBot Contact Sensor needs to be aligned with the bottom of its main body, and the distance between the two components should be less than 1.2 inches (30mm).
*The data above is obtained from lab experiments conducted under 77°F (25°C)

Push Alerts to Your Phone
Connected to SwitchBot Hub (sold separately), The Contact Sensor pushes notifications to your phone when someone enters your home, when the window is open, or when your pet leaves the cage. It also works as an entry sensor for your safe home. With Contact Sensor on the door or window, your home security is taken care of by this watchful gadget and alerts will reach you in seconds even when you are far away. *Set in the app to stop your phone from ringing all the time you receive a notification.
Voice alarm from Alexa
SwitchBot Motion Sensor works perfectly with your smart home appliances as a security partner. Connected to SwitchBot Hub, Alexa will alert you when a burglar is entering your home. If a suspicious person enters the house, Alexa will start an alarming voice to scare off the burglar.
*Alexa and Google Home currently do not support Contact Sensor's light level sensor or motion features. However, this feature is currently supported by IFTTT. Only SwitchBot Hub 2 supports matter.

A smart way to detect
With a built-in motion sensor, Contact Sensor can tell whether the user is leaving or entering the home when attached to the internal face of the door. Your smart home will conduct all scenes that you pre-set via the SwitchBot app as per both conditions automatically.
*SwitchBot Hub required

Entering home
When doors are opened and motion is sensed, our device will assume you're leaving and auto-off your appliances when you're away. When nobody is sensed first and a door is opened, we'll know that you're coming back and you turn all appliances on in the same way.
*SwitchBot Hub required

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I installed this on my front door at the top, and it was incredibly easy. Just peel off the 3M tape, and stick it. and then it's installed. now i can use the contact sensor within the Alexa app using a routine to tie it into other home automation programs!
Using this, it's pretty easy to program your lights/gadgets within your house to detect when you leave/enter your home and automatically greet you or turn your lights on!
I can't wait to see the next set of Switchbot products!
Especially the contact sensor. 3 sensors in one device, ambient light sensor, open/close sensor and motion sensor. This enables a great range for automation. The only product that works well in the bathroom without any random turn offs. Really a great product.
I didn't need another hub. That's totally optional if you want really easy internet access or additional automations. But if you do have the hub, motion or button controlled lights and plugs are neat.
For the tinkerers, there are lots of passive BT options out there for support with third party automation software. It has worked really well with Home Assistant for me and I don't plan on buying any door sensors that support anything less than the SwitchBot Contact.

I could not set my phone to receive notifications or alerts if someone open my apartment door especially when I'm I will be notified. . And I'm still wondering what the Fresnel lens because the manual does not explain it they give you another QR code for more information.
However, it does tell you how to connect with Amazon Alexa device but the device is practically useless and could have brought a indoor camera for for a few extra bucks more for what I paid for. Don't Used this for Security It's Completely Unsafe!!!

Ou à l'inverse, de le déclencher quand la fenêtre est fermé et que le taux d'humidité dans la chambre est trop basse.

Come sempre Switchbot propone una confezione ben fatta, minimale, che si adatta perfettamente alla dimensioni del device.
Tutto il necessario è ben disposto nella scatola in maniera ordinata e facilmente raggiungibile. Oltre al device (composto dal corpo principale e la parte calamitata), troviamo un piccolo ma ben scritto manuale di istruzioni, 2 batteria AAA (il fatto che le includano sempre è significativo della attenzione al cliente), un pacchettino viti laddove non si volesse utilizzare l'adesivo preapplicato, una coppia di adesivi laddove si volessero sostituire (immaginate di montare il sensore su una finestra e poi volergli cambiare posizione, switchbot vi consente di farlo a costo zero dato che include il secondo adesivo).
Insomma, come sempre ottimo packaging in uno spazo ridottissimo.
[ ESTETICA E QUALITA’ COSTRUTTIVA ] : 5/5
Switchbot mi ha abituato a prodotti molto curati per qualità costruttiva ed estetica. Per la verità stavolta il prodotto è talmente piccolo che è anche difficile andare nei dettagli, ma ci sono alcuni particolari che fanno la differenza: la plastica bianca utilizzata si adatta perfettamente agli appartamenti moderni (nel mio caso ho sia le finestre che la porta di ingresso bianche come molti degli appartamenti moderni, quindi il sensore si mimetizza con gli stessi); la qualità costruttiva è super come sempre, seppur il corpo principale debba ospitare delle pile AAA intercambiabili, pertanto deve poter essere aperto una volta montato, non genera alcuno scricchiolio e la sostituzione pile è rapida ed agevole; la potenza dell'adesivo è incredibile, non si staccherà mai involontariamente dalla superficie su cui lo monterete, assicurato!; infine, ho trovato superbo il fatto che nello stesso dispositivo, ingegnerizzando bene tutto, siano riusciti a mettere un sensore di contatto, un sensore di luminosità ed un motion detection sensor con una distanza frontale di 5 metri e laterale di 2 metri per ogni lato. Incredibile tutto questo in un oggetto così piccolo, complimenti!
[ FUNZIONAMENTO ] : 5/5
Semplicissimo! è un dispositivo praticamente plug & play: lo togli dalla confezione, monti le pile, lo attacchi alla finestra/porta da controllare (io l'ho fatto usando gli adesivi ma se volete potete usare anche le vitine incluse) ed il gioco è fatto.
Mi raccomando solo a 2 cose: il magnete deve essere allineato ala parte bassa del corpo principale e la distanza tra magnete e corpo principale deve essere di massimo 3cm. Dopo il montaggio dovrete solo configurare il device tramite app: solita configurazione in bluetooth cliccando dall'app il tastino "+" e decidendo il nome da dare al sensore. Una volta configurato potrete utilizzare le funzioni (aperto, chiuso, lasciato aperto...) sia da app switchbot che tramite comandi vocali alexa (se avete un hub). L'unica cosa da segnalare è che attualmente alexa riconosce solo "aperto" e "chiusto" ma non il "lasciato aperto", tuttavia ho segnalato la cosa a switchbot e come sempre (sfido a trovare una azienda piu disponibile e solerte nelle risposte) mi hanno detto che forniranno un update del firmware per rendere possibile la cosa anche esternamente all'app, quindi con alexa.
Il funzionamento, testato per circa una settimana, è perfetto: usato sia su una finestra che sul mio frigorifero e non ha perco un colpo. Ben funzionante anche il sensore di luminsità: capisce perfettamente se la stanza è ben illuminata o meno e lo fa anche con una certa rapidità che non ti aspetti da un device così piccolo ed economico.
Bravi gli ingegneri di switchbot!
[ INNOVAZIONE ] : 5/5
I sensori di contatto esistono da tantissimi anni, pertanto penserete "cosa ci potrà mai essere di così innovativo?" ed allora ve lo elenco:
1: è tutto completamente senza fili, installabile ovunque, con una portata importante e senza alcun problema di rilevamento
2: è gestibile sia da app switchbot che da assistenti vocali come alexa, se lo collegate ad un hub (consiglio l'hub 2 matter sempre di switcbot)
3: non è solo un sensore di contatto ma anche un motion detector ed un light sensor. Ben funzionante!
4: i sensori di contatto tipicamente hanno un allarme intergrato oppure sono collegati ad un allarme casalingo che gerena rumore assordante. Con questo piccolo device invece potrete decidere voi come farvi avvisare: tramite notifica senza suono, con suono su cel, con allarme e messaggio vocale customizzato da alexa (ad esempio io ho personalizzato i messaggi "frigorifero aperto" e "finestra aperta" e valgono molto più di un allarme che non ti indica subito che tipo di intrusione si sta subendo) ed in altri modi che solo la fantasia vi potrà limitare ( proprio ora me ne è venuto in mente uno: farò accendere di rosso uno dei miei led quando il frigo risulterà aperto, geniale no?!? :) )
In definitiva, piccolo device, piccolissimo prezzo, grande innovazione. Brava Switchbot!
