Door/window sensor


RS-3215


Door/window sensor — device that can be fastened at any opening surface. The sensor immediately responds to the opening of the door or window on which it is installed and sends a notification to your smartphone.

You need a receiver that supports adding rubetek wireless devices to add the sensor to the mobile app and receive notifications to your smartphone. Receiver is a re-transmitter of signals from the sensors to the mobile app.

Devices that can play the role of receiver for Door/window sensor:


rf-control-module
Wi-Fi plug RЕ-3305

rf-control-module
Wi-Fi single switch relay RЕ-3313

rf-control-module
Wi-Fi single switch relay with dry contact RЕ-3314

rf-control-module
Wi-Fi double switch relay RЕ-3315

rf-control-module
Control module RM-3715


Principle of operation


Door/window sensor consists of two parts-reed transmitter and magnet.
Transmitter is fastened at fixed surface (e.g., window frame), magnet-at moving part. If the reed switch is in the range of the magnetic field, it closes the circuit - the sensor is closed. The opening of a window or door wing opens the circuit and the Sensor detects opening. In this case sensor immediately sends alarm signal to receiver and you receive notification on smartphone.


Sensor triggering notification will be send only if security mode is activated.

  • Installation


    1. Open cover of battery compartment by picking up the groove and insert the battery (supplied). Close the cover.
    2. Remove protective layer from mounting tape. Install transmitter so that it was located on fixed surface (window/door reveal) and magnet on moving surface (leaf). For correct operation it is necessary to provide a marking gap on the transmitter and magnet housings of max.10 mm.

    Automation


    If you have hubs, you can set up different automations. E.g., automatic switching on the light at door opening or switching off air conditioner when window is open.




    Other opportunities


    In combination with other devices, such as control module RM-3715, you can create a room climate control system that helps maintain a comfortable room temperature and extend the life of the air conditioner.

    In a room with closed windows, the energy consumption of the air conditioner is minimal, because it works in idle mode. When the window is open, the temperature in the room will constantly rise, and the air conditioner will turn on more often, trying to bring it to the desired value, which significantly increases the power consumption and the load on the compressor.

    Opening sensor allow controlling air supply, set uping the load on air conditioner compressor and therefore extending its life time. In addition, you will know about when air conditioner is on and off, you will receive notification to smartphone.

    But the most important is that the scenario will activate even in case of failure of Internet network. Control module saves the scenario and it will operate locally.

  • With a one scale division signal, we do not guarantee stable operation of the security system. Move the device to improve signal quality.

    When the battery level is less than 15%, you will be notified to replace the battery.

    The signal transmission power is automatically set uped and directly affects the battery life.



    Event log


    The 'Events' tab displays the chronology of sensor triggering with its name and room location. Tab is in the lower application menu.




    Push notifications


    To use this function you should permit rubetek application to send push notifications. You can do it in your mobile phone settings. Notifications on opening will be sent only in Security mode.




    FAQ


    How can I check that sensor is functioning?
    The device communicates with receiver every 30 min. to check functionality. Check the date and time of the last check in the sensor settings (Last Activity).
    Why don't I get push and SMS-notifications about sensor triggering?
    Check the signal strength of the Sensor with the receiver and whether notification permission for the rubetek app is enabled in your smartphone settings. Notifications are received only if Security mode is switched on.
    Where shouldn't the sensor be installed?
    Neal metal objects, causing radio signal attenuation.
    Can the sensor be installed outdoors?
    No, it is designed only for indoor installation.
    Why is the battery dead faster than 3 years?
    Battery life is affected by a number of factors: ambient temperature, level of communication with the receiver, and installation location.
