What Is the FIBARO Door/Window Sensor 2?

The FIBARO Door/Window Sensor 2 is a Z-Wave Plus magnetic sensor designed to detect when doors, windows, garage doors, or cabinets are opened or closed.

This upgraded version offers several improvements, including:

• Enhanced battery life

• Extended communication range

• Built-in temperature sensor

• Multiple colour options

• Automatic firmware updates

Thanks to its sleek, minimalistic design, the sensor blends easily into any interior. For example, the Brown3 colour variant perfectly suits darker frames and appears as the far-right unit in the product thumbnail.

Key Features of the FIBARO Door/Window Sensor 2

1. Fully wireless & battery powered

The device is completely cable-free, allowing it to be mounted quickly and easily on any door or window using the included adhesive or screws.

2. Integrated temperature sensor

Unlike many standard door/window sensors, the FIBARO Door/Window Sensor 2 includes a built-in temperature sensor. This enhances your home’s climate management by providing accurate temperature readings to your Z-Wave controller.

3. Automatic OTA firmware updates

Your sensor stays up-to-date automatically through over-the-air updates when paired with a supported hub.

4. Tamper & low-battery alarms

The device includes anti-tamper protection and battery level monitoring. If someone removes the sensor or the battery runs low, your system will immediately notify you.

5. A variety of colours

To ensure a seamless look that matches your interior design, FIBARO provides several colour options.

How the FIBARO Door/Window Sensor 2 Works

This sensor consists of two magnetic pieces:

• The primary Z-Wave sensor

• A magnetic contact

When the door or window opens, the magnet separates from the main sensor, sending an “open” signal wirelessly to your smart home controller. When closed, it reports a “closed” status. These signals can trigger automations, notifications, security alarms, climate adjustments, and more.

Smart Home Automations You Can Create

The FIBARO Door/Window Sensor 2 is far more than a basic security device. It’s a versatile automation tool that enhances comfort, safety, and energy efficiency.

1. Lighting Automation

Use it to:

• Turn lights on automatically when a door opens

• Create soft night-light scenes when entering a hallway

• Switch lights off after closing a pantry or wardrobe door

2. Enhanced Security Monitoring

The sensor acts as an intelligent part of your home security system by:

• Sending instant alerts when doors or windows open unexpectedly

• Integrating with alarms, cameras, and sirens

• Providing real-time door/window status for peace of mind

3. Smarter Climate Control

Because the sensor includes temperature monitoring, it can:

• Automatically shut off your heating or air-conditioning when a window opens

• Ensure HVAC systems only run when all doors and windows are properly closed

• Help maintain stable temperature zones throughout your home

4. Garage Door Automation

Know exactly when your garage door opens, trigger exterior lights automatically, or create notifications for unexpected activity.
