Insteon Hidden Door Sensor

Invisible Assurance Peace of mind - that's what Hidden Door Sensor brings to your home. With Hidden Door Sensor and the INSTEON Hub, you will always know whether the front door has been opened or if you forgot to close the door to the garage. Hidden Door Sensor installs inside the door or door frame, reporting door activity wirelessly to your INSTEON home. Now you see it, now you don't. Nothing makes your home smarter than adding sensors; but even their unobtrusive Open/Close Sensor can be too large for certain decors and locations. That's why they have created the Hidden Door Sensor.

Instead of mounting to the surface of your door, Hidden Door Sensor is installed inside the door frame or even the door itself. The result is a completely hidden sensor that stays out of the way, monitoring doors without the slightest visual impediment. Power tool time. Using a 3/4" drill bit, simply drill a hole into your door frame along the hinge-side of your door. After cleaning out the hole of any wood shavings, simply slide Hidden Door Sensor in and secure it with the included screw. And in the event that there is a substantial gap between your door and the frame, Insteon have included a spacer to ensure that your sensor will activate every time your door is opened or closed. Equal opportunity installation. Wood doors are easy; almost every home owner has the tools necessary to drill through a wooden door frame or door.

But what if your door or door frame is made of metal? Hidden Door Sensor is just as easy to install in the door itself along the hinge-side of the door. If both your door and door frame are metal, they suggest using Open/Close Sensor instead. Supports some window styles. While Hidden Door Sensor works best with doors, it is possible to install with casement windows.
