ecobee Smart Sensor for Doors & Windows 2 Pack - Wifi Contact Sensor for Home Security, Energy Savings - Compatible with Smart Thermostats - Temperature sensor, white

I bought the ecobee Smart Sensor for Doors & Windows (2-pack) to add an extra layer of awareness to my home, and so far it has worked exactly as expected. Setup was straightforward through the ecobee app and only took a few minutes. The sensors paired quickly and were easy to mount with the included adhesive. They are small and discreet, so they don’t stand out on the door or window frames. Notifications are fast and reliable. I like being able to see when doors or windows are opened or closed, especially when I’m not home. I actually use the pair on two roll-up garage doors, which sometimes open randomly, and getting instant alerts gives me real peace of mind knowing I can check and close them right away if needed. Battery life has been good so far, and the app shows battery status clearly, which is helpful. Integration with my existing ecobee system was seamless and didn’t require any extra hubs beyond whatmy ecobee thermatstat. Overall, this is a solid and dependable product if you already use ecobee or are looking for simple contact sensors for home monitoring. It does what it’s supposed to do and feels well made.

I've long avoided door and window sensors because most of them have an ear-splitting alarm built in, and while I understand the reason for that, I'd rather my dog not be traumatized every time I accidentally set it off. So these ecobee contact sensors are actually pretty perfect for me -- without the monitoring subscription. They're simple to set up, I don't need to change the batteries often, and they do nothing more than send a notification to my phone when the door/window is opened or closed. That's it, and that's the main thing I need from them. For everyone else... Well, you're probably going to find them useless without a subscription. If you pay for their monitoring subscription, the sensors can alert you to motion, turn off your HVAC if a door or window is left open, tell you when someone's home, and remind you to arm the system when you're leaving. Without the subscription, you get none of that, so keep that in mind when considering whether to purchase. Granted, the subscription's pretty cheap, but it is extra money you'll be spending each month.

I've few sensors from Ecobee site and they worked really well. I thought of purchasing one from Amazon but they didn't work well. One of them took multiple tries (almost a couple of hours) to get it detected and worked, but the other one didn't even detect after so many trials. I would recommend to buy it from Ecobee website itself, rather than purchasing from Amazon (trying to reduce the price for sales but Amazon forgot to give the genuine produts)

Sensors work but keep I mind that the “motion” part responds to movement faster the longer it goes without seeing any movement. If it sees constant motion it is slower to show up on the activity list.

I am still not able to use these devices. The setup is not easy at all. Y9u follow the instructions still doesnt co nect were they can ve used in my home
