22th December 2025 – Beyond Open and Close: Intelligent Sensing Redefined.
Aeotec, a global leader in smart home and building automation solutions, today announces the launch of the Aeotec Door Window Sensor 8, a new generation of intelligent sensing designed to go far beyond simple open-and-close detection.
More than a traditional contact sensor, the Door Window Sensor 8 combines Z-Wave Plus Long Range reliability, a 3-axis tilt sensor, and integrated temperature and humidity monitoring to deliver smarter security, better energy efficiency, and healthier living environments—all in one compact device.
Key Features:
Smarter Detection for Modern Homes
At the heart of the Door Window Sensor 8 is a highly precise 3-axis sensor that detects open, close, and tilt events with exceptional accuracy. This makes it ideal not only for standard doors and windows, but also for skylights, roof windows, and unconventional entry points where tilt detection is essential.
Whether safeguarding against intrusions or confirming proper ventilation, the sensor provides detailed, reliable insights into how and when openings are used.
Unmatched Range. Uncompromising Reliability.
Powered by Z-Wave Plus Long Range (800 series), the Door Window Sensor 8 delivers exceptional wireless performance. With an operating distance of up to 200 meters (656 feet) in open field—and up to 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) in Long Range networks—it ensures stable communication even in large homes or multi-floor buildings.
Combined with ultra-low power consumption, Z-Wave Long Range reduces dead spots, improves responsiveness, and significantly extends battery life, making it an ideal foundation for dependable door and window monitoring.
Fast Installation, Seamless Integration
Designed for effortless setup, the Door Window Sensor 8 can be mounted in minutes using the included adhesive tape or mounting screws. Its compact dimensions and neutral design allow it to blend discreetly into any interior.
Once installed, the sensor pairs quickly with compatible Z-Wave hubs, enabling instant monitoring without complex configuration.
Flexible Power Options
The Door Window Sensor 8 adapts to different installation needs. It can operate wirelessly for up to four years on a single CR14250 battery, or be powered continuously via an optional USB-C 5V supply for uninterrupted performance in fixed installations.
Strong Protection Where It Matters Most
Doors and windows are the most vulnerable entry points in any home. The Door Window Sensor 8 stands guard by instantly reporting open, close, or tilt events to your smart home system, triggering alerts or automated responses to unauthorized access.
Discreet in design yet powerful in function, it adds an essential layer of protection—helping keep homes, families, and valuables safe.
Optimize Comfort and Energy Efficiency
Security is only part of the story. With built-in temperature and humidity sensing, the Door Window Sensor 8 enables intelligent climate automation. Smart home systems can automatically pause heating or air conditioning when a window is opened, reducing energy waste while ventilating.
The sensor also tracks dew point and humidity levels, issuing warnings of potential mold risk and reminding users when it’s time to air out a room—ensuring healthier indoor environments.
One Sensor. Endless Possibilities.
From security and climate control to energy savings and indoor air quality, the Aeotec Door Window Sensor 8 is a versatile, multi-purpose device designed to meet the evolving needs of modern smart homes.
