Orion Grid Connect Smart Contact Sensor

Enjoy peace of mind with the Orion security range. The Smart Security Contact Sensor can detect when the contacts are separated and send a notification straight to your smartphone. Check your device history in the Grid Connect app to see when it was triggered. Add additional security by linking Grid Connect sirens or security lighting through automations (sold separately).

Use the sensor to monitor doors, windows, storage locations and more. Tamper notifications can let you know when your contact sensor detects that it has been removed, and low battery notifications are available to remind you when the batteries need to be changed.

This product is compatible with the Grid Connect smart home automation system, built to optimise everyday living. Simply download the free Grid Connect app on your iOS or Android device and use your home Wi-Fi or mobile internet connection to control, customise and automate your product.

It takes only minutes to set up, and there’s a wide range of products available that allow you to customise your system any way you like. Use the app to create the perfect light for every moment of the day, set your product to operate on your ideal schedule, and enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

WiFi contact sensor with AAA battery

The Grid Connect WiFi contact sensor runs on standard 2xAAA batteries and due to its WiFi connectivity, battery life may not be prolonged. However, AAA batteries are preferred as they are readily accessible. The sensor functions as expected and upon testing by adding a light, a noticeable delay in response was observed. I will prefer to use Smart Life app instead of Grid Connect App.

PROS

• Connect directly to cloud via home WiFi
• Control via the Grid Connect App, Smart life App

CONS

• Slow response as directly connect to cloud via home WiFi
• Battery life
