    Open/Close Sensor can wirelessly control lights or appliances throughout your home. Program any INSTEON device to react when the magnetic contact is broken and re-established on Open/Close Sensor: doors, windows, drawers, cabinets or anything else that opens. You can optionally connect an external contact closure sensor of any type (e.g., hidden contacts or doorbell button).

    Reliable, because every INSTEON device works as a network repeater, ensuring your commands will not be lost. Affordable, because INSTEON can be integrated into any number of devices easily and at a very low cost. An INSTEON home grows in value with each added INSTEON device, making life more convenient, safe, and fun.
