Smart Window & Door Sensors

By Craig Grant
October 22, 2021

Door and window sensors are the most common sensors, they range in cost from $15-40 and are included in most starter kits. They allow you to know when a door or window has been opened and can trigger an alarm. Hubs such as Abode are able to connect to a number of different devices over Z-Wave, WiFi, and Zigbee. This allows you to create automations when certain events happen, let’s say you just came home from work and it’s dark out. With the Abode’s CUE, you could create a ruleset that would turn on your exterior when the outside door is opened, but only when it’s dark out using a compatible smart light or switch.

Check out this video from Smart Home Tech Decisions a partner with RETI featuring RETI team member Brandon Doyle as they review these 6 window and door sensors available on the market right now to help you decide which is best for your home!
  • Samsung – Zigbee
  • Aeotec 7 – Z-Wave Plus, this version does not work on Abode, should work with Hubitat but was not able to pair to SmartThings because I broke the switch. This one is very similar to the FIBARO sensor.
  • FIBARO – Z-Wave Plus
  • EcoLink – Z-Wave Plus
  • Monoprice – Z-Wave Plus
  • Nyce – Zigbee
