ONVIS Security Contact Sensor – HomeKit, BLE 5.0

How does the sensor work in HomeKit?

The Onvis CT2 sensor paired with your HomeKit hub sends instant push notifications when the sensor is activated. This means that you will immediately know that the door (window) is open. This makes it easy for you to get a reliable 24/7 overview of the security of your home, garage, office, or warehouse.

Create useful automations

Switching on the sensor can also serve as a part of automation, which will save you energy or make your stay at home more pleasant. With the help of other smart accessories, you can create various automation or help children, the elderly, or pets:

Turn on the light in the hallway in case they arrive after sunset

Turn on the garden lights when you leave the house

Turn off the heating or air conditioning when a window is open

Turn off the vent when you leave the bathroom and others

The sensor is set in a moment

The sensor is ready for installation immediately after unpacking. Spacers, replaceable button battery, miniature design and manual allow you to place the sensor anywhere with no problems. With the accompanying Onvis Home or Apple Home application, paired with your HomeKit hub will be complete in a few minutes. Thanks to the Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connection with minimal energy consumption, the sensor lasts up to 1 year in standby mode.

Onvis Home Application

Free accompanying Onvis Home app for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Apple Watch with iOS 12.0+ and WatchOS 4.0+.

Under normal circumstances, or whenever you leave in a hurry, you can always conveniently check whether your door / window / cabinet / gate / garage door is closed or not.
