Not only can our door/window sensor keep you in the loop whenever your door is left open by sending you a notification, it can also prompt the A/C to turn off when the internal temperature sensor reads a maximum temperature you have previously set. For more creative and convenient options, when pairing the sensor with our Fibaro Home Center lite hub, you can even program the air-conditioning to turn off when a specific window sensor in your home is activated exclusively during a certain time of the day. So if you only want your sensor monitoring an open window at night, you can set the appropriate times when you want your window and have reassurance that the window is not open when the family is asleep. If your connected smart home camera offers a live feed, you can view that right from your phone, iPad or laptop too, so you stay on top of current events at home, in the area where the Door/Window sensor is installed.

Safety of smart home products can be interpreted in many ways, but generally the word carries a guarantee that a connected device is safe to use and does not pose a threat to a home or the people living in it. It’s not required by law to hold a safety certification, so many smart home manufacturers don’t certify their products for safety assurance. While many products go out into the market uncertified, it is crucial to consider smart home products that have some kind of certification. So whether certification is performed by UL or a different safety laboratory, the point is that this expert seal of approval tells consumers the smart home products they chose to install in their homes are safe to use.

This is an excellent area to consider putting a smart motion sensor because oftentimes we think we know the areas of our home better than we do, and possibly relying on comfort and familiarity instead of being safe and making sure our path is lit. Mounting a Fibaro Z-Wave Door/Window Sensor in your private personal closet space will give you peace of mind when you’re expecting to have people over you don’t know very well ( Why: When your hands are full of grease, the last thing you need is to run to turn on the fan/lights, adjust the thermostat, or turn on your music when you want more fun cooking session. For example, our Fibaro Z-Wave Motion Sensor used with our hub, Home Center Lite, as the main controlling system, gives you the option to program your sensor to turn on lights when you enter the kitchen.

Since smart lighting is on the incline to becoming the norm, slowly phasing out traditional energy-burning lights, it made sense for us to design a device like the Fibaro Dimmer 2. And since we’re all about options (and style, of course), the Fibaro Dimmer 2 makes all the difference if you live in an older home or apartment and would still like to enjoy the benefits of smart lighting. It means Dimmer 2 recognizes the type of connected lights (lamps, pendants, sconces, etc.) and automatically regulates itself to set proper (ideal) values, so those lights can work. With an automated dimmer like the Fibaro Dimmer 2, you can create a scene where you connect lights in the hallway, for example, that turn on to only 20% to illuminate your path to the kitchen or bathroom.
