When the door swings open it will trigger the sensor.
Simplisafe door or window open.
If the window opens further from either position the alarm will be triggered.
You can always test this by arming the system and walking back in through the door in question.
So your front door is always protected.
In the diagram below the entry sensor has been installed on the doorframe and the magnet on the door.
If you are consistently seeing a warning that one of your entry sensors is open despite all of your doors and windows being closed one of the following items is likely the cause.
Your entry sensor is too far away from its corresponding magnet piece.
Easy to install on every type of door or window.
If you re going to leave a sliding window open regularly you might consider purchasing an extra magnet for that window.
When more than 2 inches away the sensor signals that it is open.
Close open doors windows.
1 a fully closed position and 2 a 6 inch open position.
Close open doors windows.
Alarm panic button alarm entry sensor alarm motion sensor simplisafe is warning you that there was a recent alarm.
It s best to keep the two pieces as close together as possible.
If they are already closed make sure each entry sensor and its magnet are less than 2 inches apart.
Your entry sensor or its corresponding magnet is placed on a metallic surface.
Magnet can be placed up to 2 inches from the sensor so sensors fit on all types of.
If the door window where this issue is occurring is metal place a buffer between the magnet the smaller part of the sensor and the door.
Make sure that your entry sensor and its magnet are never more than 2 inches apart.
If it s not shut then i believe that it stays unarmed until shut.
Simplisafe is warning you that you may have left a door or window open.
When the magnet is within 2 inches of the grooves on the sensor it knows the door or window is closed.
As illustrated below you can then have two protected positions for your window.
We recommend using an extra adhesive or two.
Simplisafe sensors come with the battery pre installed and adhesive.
The magnet goes on the door or window and the sensor goes on the frame or vice.
In my experience if a window or door is open when arming and you hear the warning door or window open then shut the said window or door the sensor then becomes armed as usual.
If you do not those doors windows will not be protected in the event of an emergency.
