Serious about smart home? You need sensors

A real smart home has automation, it does things without you getting involved. If you have smart bulbs and light switches that are smart, but not automated; you still need to control them with your phone or voice. Automation is when you actually program behavior, so it does things without you getting involved. Blitzwolf’s sensors deliver a lot of automation potential.

Motion detection: BW-IS3

Traditionally for an alarm system, these are now critical for detecting the presence, if you want your lights to stay on or the TV to turn off when you leave, your smart home needs to know where you are, motion is a great basic presence sensor for automating lights and switches.

Door/windows sensors: BW-IS2

Another technology from home alarms; in a smart system, these are used for a multitude of rules. Whether it’s sending you an alert if the window is open when the rain comes, or turning off all the lights in your home when you close your bedroom door, these are another essential for practical automation rules.

Humidity and temp: BW-IS4

Just like a weather station, they measure the air; but even if you don’t think you’d ever check the measurements, popular automation rules you can make are dependant on this data. In the smart home, you can control your air conditioner, heater or curtains to maintain a comfortable living space. More advanced rules can include turning on the fan in your bathroom when humidity rises, as that indicates your in the shower.
