Note two (2) of these come with the SimplyHome Base Kit. They can attach with the strong two-sided tape that ships with the sensor, or can be screwed in.

The SimplyHome system supports up to twenty-three (23) wireless sensors.

Use door/window sensors to protect anything that opens and closes, such as doors, windows, closets and cabinets. The sensor detects an opening with a magnet and reed-switch mechanism that can signal an audible alarm, or send an alert to a caregiver, or both.

Whether your SimplyHome system is in an armed state or not, door/window sensors continuously report all open and close activity, in real time. This unique feature is called "Normal Activity Monitoring." And you can apply rules to cause exception data to send alerts and notifications to one or more caregivers via email and/or cell phone text messages-- for example, if a back door at the residence is open ever, or a front door is open after 7 pm and before 7 am.
