The wireless switch can be used for monitoring doors and windows. This option does not include the Door/Window switch and can be connected to your existing door/window reed-style sensors. It is small (1” x 1” or 2.54cm x 2.54cm) and can be installed discreetly. Battery life is around 1 year, depending on the number of transmissions. Rugged yet elegant cream plastic case allows the sensor to be deployed both indoors and outdoors, and, if sealed with silicone, could be water-resistant. It can operate in request/reply or publish mode using an external power source. When asleep, it is awoken by a change in the external switch (i.e., open or closed) to send readings. If powered externally, then the device can operate in a fully awake mode and can respond to requests for switch state in a request/reply fashion. The device will also transmit switch state changes when in fully awake mode.
Optimize battery life
Tested at 288 (144 door open/door close) messages per day for 1 year on one battery.
If you are using this sensor for doors and windows that are usually closed, then use a Normally Closed switch.
If you are using the sensor with a door or window that is usually open, then use a Normally Open switch.

Technical Specs:
- All devices are based on the high-performance RF transceiver based on the market-leading CC1100 SOC.
- A wide operating voltage range of 2-3.6V makes the devices well-suited for battery power.
- Current consumption: RX: 16.2 mA, TX: 15.2 mA. Deep Sleep: 0.005Ma (0.5 µA).
- Up to 1KM line of sight. Short range (30M) penetration of walls and floors.
- 128-bit AES encryption security.
- Driverless installation.
- All the devices are highly configurable through the serial port or over the air using the LLAP messaging protocol specified in the manual.
- The base station communicates via a serial port (TTL UART).
- Communicates in clear ASCII text, making it very easy to exchange data between devices over the air.
- Supports point-to-point, point-to-multi-point, multi-point-to-point, and multi-point-to-multi-point.
- A virtually unlimited number of devices can be deployed—99,999 Personal Area Network ID’s, 10 channels per frequency and 7,744 Device ID’s per network.
- Super-low power consumption allows devices to run on a coin cell battery for extended periods (up to 1 year, depending on transmission rates).
- Supports six frequencies (433 MHZ, 915 MHZ (default US & Canada), 868.3 MHZ (default Europe), 868 MHZ, 903 MHZ, 315 MHZ)
- 10 channels per frequency.
- 4 pins for communicating with external microcontrollers like Raspberry Pi and Arduino: Tx, Rx, GND, 3V3.
- A battery monitor to keep track of power consumption.
