Aqara Zigbee Door and Window Sensor | Wireless Contact Sensor for HomeKit, Alexa & IFTTT

Smart Monitoring Made Simple

The Aqara Zigbee Door and Window Sensor is a compact, wireless contact sensor designed to work with Aqara hubs. It detects openings on doors, windows, drawers, and cabinets, helping you stay informed about activity around your home. With a discreet footprint and easy adhesive mounting, it blends into everyday spaces like entryways, bedrooms, or living areas. When paired with an Aqara Hub, the sensor powers local alerts and automations that respond to real-world events with quiet efficiency.

What this sensor does for you

Designed to pair with a dedicated Aqara Hub (sold separately), this sensor provides timely status information and supports automations that can adapt to your routines. The system is built to work within a reliable Zigbee network, so notifications and automations can feel quick and responsive.

• Unauthorized entry detection and local alarm triggers when a door or window opens unexpectedly.
• Proximity-based reliability by keeping the sensor within a practical range of the Aqara Hub for stable connectivity.
• Compact design and flat-surface mounting suitable for various fixtures, from entry doors to cabinets.
• Hands-free control with Apple HomeKit and Alexa for convenient status checks and automation control.
• Requires an Aqara Hub (sold separately) to enable notifications, automations, and integrations.

Smart home compatibility and real-life uses

When it’s connected to a compatible Aqara Hub, the door/window sensor can trigger scenes across compatible Aqara devices. Imagine your entry door pinging a reminder in the hallway when opened in the morning, or your living room lights dimming automatically when a window opens during a movie night—all without lifting a finger on your phone.

• Seamless control with Apple HomeKit and Alexa enables voice or app-based checks and routines.
• Supports automation rules that react to door or window status changes, helping you monitor rooms, nurseries, or offices more easily.

Setup notes and practical tips: A proper Aqara Hub is required for full functionality, and some hubs demand a secured 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection. Keep the hub and your router on the same LAN to ensure smooth communication. The sensor accepts a surface that’s flat and easy to adhere to, and a door gap up to 0.86 inches is supported for reliable detection. For best performance, place the hub within a comfortable distance from the sensor, and avoid using third-party Zigbee adapters that Aqara does not officially support.
