ecobee Smart Sensor for Doors & Windows 2 Pack for Home Security

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.

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

I only wanted this product for the thermostat. I already have a security system. Unfortunately, you have to pay $5/mo. to use this with the thermostat. It will tell me there is a door open, but won't pause the HVAC. It doesn't track that this is a 'security system' that is worth paying a monthly fee. Installing these also triggered a trial of the security plan, which took up the top half of the screen on the app and moved my thermostat controls to the bottom half of the app. Overall, this product was a bad experience. I wish I could return it, because I could have my actual security system (Eufy is great!) tell me if a window is open (and with cheaper sensors and no monthly fee). All I wanted was a more efficient HVAC, and Ecobee failed miserably, which is sad because I love the thermostat. Hopefully they don't decide to start charging a monthly fee for that.

The sensors themselves are very well built and are very easy to setup. They also seemed a bit overpriced for what you get perhaps 20 to 25 dollars per sensor would be more appropriate than 40 dollars per sensor. Also it seems to require a Ecobee Haven subscription to make any use of them and for me not having an Ecobee camera it just doesn't make sense. I am currently using Ring Cameras and already have a subscription for that so I don't really need another subscription just to receive notifications from these sensors. Also they sensors don't seem to support IFTTT. What would make these sensors a whole lot useful is if Ecobee enabled their use without a Haven subscription or lowered the cost of the subscription for people not using the cameras. Also it would be really nice if they enabled IFTTT support with them, in my opinion that would make them a whole lot more useful.

Easy to install and reliable so far

easy setup, fast shipping.

Love the product, The most liked thing about this is it will turn off my A/C unit if a door or window is left open. Highly recommended.

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 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)

I recently purchased the ecobee SmartSensors after a unfortunate incident where we had some items stolen from our trailer. The decision to invest in these sensors, paired with the premium thermostat, turned out to be a game-changer for our home security. The setup process was surprisingly easy, and the sensors seamlessly connected to the thermostat. What I love most about these sensors is the peace of mind they provide. My husband and I feel much safer both when we're at home and when we're away. The ability to monitor and control the temperature and security of our home remotely is a huge relief. Considering the recent security concerns we had, the ecobee SmartSensors have truly been a worthwhile investment. I can confidently say that I love this product, and I will never regret making the decision to enhance our home security with ecobee. If you're looking for a reliable and user-friendly solution for both climate control and security, look no further. Highly recommended!

Really easy to connect and integrate in to the system. Would have been nice if they could also measure temperature as it would vastly decrease the number of sensors required.

As a long time ecobee thermostat user, I was intrigued to explore their venture into home monitoring. The 2-pack door and window sensors were easy and intuitive to install. Unlike other similar sensors that I've had over the years, the magnetic sensor has extremely long range making it easy to install on doors or windows with large gaps between the frame and the door. A combination of the mobile app instructions and a blinking LED on the sensor helped get the position perfect. My thermostat is pretty far from the doorways in my home, so I was worried the wireless range wouldn't be long enough for the sensor to reach - but it turned out to be just fine! I've started the free trial for home monitoring and so far so good. My existing SmartSensors and the new door and window contact are all working seamlessly together! I like that the home monitoring does not require a hub to arm and disarm the alarm system - somehow, it just seems to know when I'm home and when I'm away. I've configured it to receive notifications to my cell phone whenever motion is detected in my home or when a door opens or closes. The system works flawlessly! I'm keen to add their camera sometime in the future.
