> 24 hourBought one for each door and one for each window. Doors work fine. Cant even install in windows at all. Have normal vertical sash windows. Each sash takes one sensor rather than one for both (thats 2x sensors). There are so many window configurations in my home (vertical hinged, horizontal hinged all with indoor screens). Each type needs custom made spacers for the magnets to be installed. Im making them all but am very surprised that for windows theres not a huge variety of spacers for the magnets, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4. Sad story for what is great service, tech support. Also alerts are not good. Someone breaks into your home and you get the same phone alert/notification that you get for email, ebay, amazon. Got YoLink leak sensors and siren alarms too. When someone breaks in and they alarm you dont know weather to grab your gun or your plumbers wrench. Not well thought out.

> 24 hourDeceits in its product description. This listed in products that support TuYa/ Smart Life app. Now it says I have to use their hub and app. I cannot use 10 different apps for 10 different sensors - I’m using Smart Life and it’s sensor ecosystem is pretty good. Why do I need loyalty to this new kind?! I don’t.

> 24 hourI purchased this device because my husband kept leaving our front door opened. Can you imagine how frustrating that would be? So after looking at many of the available options on Amazon, I decided on this one. Customer service was incredible. They sent me instructions on installation and we’re extremely responsive to my questions. They have a YouTube channel that walks you through installing everything as well. They even walked me through enabling Alexa with my device. This device was very easy to install, but the best part is, it works like magic. Both my husband and I get alerts on our phones when the door opens and closes, and Alexa also chimes in! This was an incredible find, and I am so happy I made this purchase. No more opened door! I highly recommend this product for home security.

> 24 hourBest contact open/closed sensor on the market. New strong signal to hub, utilizes two alkaline AAA battery batteries, runtime of batteries is 2 years,. I have six in service and have not had a dropped signal from any sensor. Also can utilize multiple programming possibilities and notifications.

> 24 hourI bought he leak sensors and a window/door sensor. The hub and sensors were very easy to install. I plugged the hub into my wifi router and it activated within a minute, I paired the leak sensors and tested them, they alarmed as soon as I put them in water. The door sensor on my garage doors gives me peace of mind when I am not home, it sends an alert to my phone every time the door open and when it closes.

> 24 hourI installed this in a medium-gauge steel mailbox 125 feet from the hub which sits inside a wood frame house. Despite reading a very weak -120dBm signal strength in the app, the sensor triggers correctly every time the mailbox is opened. The app is superb, allowing you to define what aspect of the event triggers a text or email: opening, closing, or being open for a specified length of time. You can pick whether to get text, email, neither, or both. For tech geeks, this merits 6 stars. Ive also got the excellent leak sensors.
