The Pierre Wave Wireless Contact Sensor operates on the Zigbee protocol as part of the Pierre Wave ecosystem, offering a wireless and easy-to-install solution for monitoring doors, windows, and other entry points. It provides the same functionality as its wired counterpart but with the added convenience of wireless communication.
Key Features:
1. Wireless Connectivity:
• Using Zigbee technology, this sensor communicates wirelessly with the Pierre system, eliminating the need for physical wiring, making it ideal for retrofitting or installations where wiring is difficult.
2. Flexible Installation:
• The wireless design allows for more flexible installation on doors and windows, while still providing reliable monitoring of entry points.
3. Battery-Powered:
• Powered by a long-lasting battery, the sensor operates efficiently and sends real-time status updates to the system when a door or window is opened or closed.
4. Automation and Smart Alerts:
• The wireless contact sensor can trigger automations such as turning off lights, adjusting HVAC systems, or sending alerts to the Pierre app. It can also integrate into broader security functions, such as triggering alarms or turning on external lights when a window or door is opened.
5. Seamless Integration with Pierre Wave Ecosystem:
• As part of the Pierre Wave product line, this sensor connects easily with other Zigbee devices in the system, allowing for enhanced home automation and security without the need for complex wiring.
When should contact sensors be installed?
Pro contact sensors are typically installed during construction, as they require wiring within the walls. Wave contact sensors can be installed later, as they are wireless and easy to place.
Where should the contact sensor be placed?
The contact sensor should be installed so that the sensor and magnet are aligned when the door or window is closed. For windows, placing the sensor on the top allows it to detect even when the window is tilted open.
