Highly accurate door & window status monitoring
Accurate & reliable open/close status updates
The sensor simply sticks to the frame and sends an instant update if the open/close status changes.
Solar-powered with battery back-up for easy install
The sensors use ambient room light – natural or lighting – with a battery back-up, making them super easy to install and very low maintenance.
Real-time local or cloud data
Data can be sent securely to a local network or the cloud — via Ethernet, LTE (4G) or WiFi through an MQTT broker or ready connections to AWS and Microsoft Azure. No subscriptions or recurring fees.
Door & Window Sensor FAQs
What are Pressac Door and Window Sensors?
Our door and window sensors are wireless magnetic contact sensors designed to detect and report when a door or window is opened or closed, providing real-time open/closed status data for smart building and automation systems.
How do these sensors integrate with smart building systems?
Our door and window sensors transmit data using the EnOcean wireless protocol and can be integrated with building management systems, IoT platforms, or analytics software via a Pressac smart gateway or compatible EnOcean receiver.
What applications are suitable for these sensors?
Our door and window sensors are suitable for monitoring doors and windows in commercial buildings, offices, cabinets, cupboards, and refrigerated units, and can be used to trigger alerts, automate HVAC or security systems, and feed into central data platforms.
How are your door & window sensors powered?
Pressac door and window sensors use ambient light energy harvesting (solar) with an optional battery back-up variant for environments with low light, reducing maintenance and eliminating wiring.
Are there any subscription fees for using Pressac sensors?
No. Sensor data can be accessed locally or in the cloud through your chosen platforms without recurring fees imposed by Pressac.
What wireless range can I expect?
Typical wireless range using EnOcean technology is up to approximately 30 metres indoors and up to 300 metres in free field conditions.
How do your door & window sensors detect open/close status?
Our sensors use magnetic contact technology. When the magnet and sensor are within 5 mm of each other, the sensor registers closed; separation beyond this triggers an open status.
What wireless protocol and security are supported?
Our door and window sensors communicate wirelessly over the EnOcean protocol and support AES-128 encryption in secure mode for encrypted communication with compatible receivers.
How do I install the sensor and magnet correctly?
Installation can be done with adhesive pads or screws. The sensor mounts on the fixed frame, and the magnet on the moving part (door or window), ensuring they remain within ~5 mm of each other when closed.
How long does the battery last?
With typical use and appropriate ambient light, the battery back-up is rated for up to approximately 10 years, though actual life depends on light conditions and usage patterns.
What data frequency and reporting behaviour should I expect?
Pressac door and window sensors report open/close status changes instantly. However, they also transmit periodic status updates (e.g., every ~15 minutes) to maintain connection health.
What environmental conditions do these sensors support?
The operating range of our wireless door and window sensors is typically -20°C to +60°C, making them suitable for most indoor applications.
Are these sensors interoperable with other manufacturers’ EnOcean systems?
Yes. Because they use the EnOcean standard and have an EnOcean Equipment Profile (EEP D5-00-01), they are compatible with other EnOcean-compliant receivers and controllers.
How do our door & window sensors work?
Our technology is system agnostic, the data from our sensors can be used in any way you need. There are different options to choose from, making it easy to get your data in the way that’s right for you.
