eHandle ConnectSense for Windows
An eHandle ConnectSense for windows recognises forced entry attempts and reports them to the smart home control centre. The positions of the window handle and window are also permanently aligned. This means that all window states in the building can be monitored – with many smart home systems, even via smartphone while on the move.
Monitors Window Conditions in Smart Homes
The eHandle ConnectSense detects break-in attempts on the window and reports them to the smart home control centre. Both the position of the handle (closed, tilted, open) and the position of the window itself (closed, open) are detected and reported.
The constant matching of handle and window position ensures that the system precisely determines whether a window is actually opened or whether only the handle is in the open position without the window having been moved.
The eHandle ConnectSense offers numerous features for monitoring a building’s window situations – possibly even from afar via smartphone messaging.
The eHandle ConnectSense for windows has won the MIAW Innovation Award 2023 in the “Interior” category.
The Advantages
- Reliable detection of break-in attempts
- Reliable monitoring of window conditions
- Easy integration into smart home systems
- Timeless design
- HOPPE brand quality
Detects Break-in Attempts on the Window
Using a special algorithm, the handle distinguishes an actual break-in attempt (e.g. prising open the window) from an accidental shock (e.g. caused by children playing ball).
Through their smart home control centre, users can define deterrent measures that are activated in the event of a detected break-in attempt.
Possible Measures can be:
- Lowering the shutters
- Switching on the lights
- Ringing of an alarm siren
- Intruder alarm on the user’s smartphone
More Convenience
Beside the break-in detection feature, users can define scenarios that ensure greater energy efficiency and convenience. For example:
- Automatic curbing of heating or air-conditioning while the window is opened for ventilation
- Automatic lowering of shutters when the patio door is closed
Further scenarios are possible – depending on the setup of the smart home system and the preferences of the resident.
Highly Reliable Transmission
The eHandle ConnectSense for windows uses the standard radio protocol Z-Wave Plus. It is equipped with the current “S2” security standard and establishes encrypted communication in combination with a Z-Wave Plus smart home control centre.
The wireless signal is transmitted to the smart home control centre both cyclically (e.g. every hour), as well as when the handle is actuated or in the event of an attempted break-in.
Setup and Models
Battery and circuit board are concealed inside the high-quality stainless steel handle. A plastic end cap ensures the unimpeded transmission of the wireless signal.
