Nexia Home Control Gets Sensor Additions

  • PDF

Schlage expands on the Nexia Home Intelligence system with two sensor additions-- the Home Door/Window sensor and the Home Motion Sensor.

Motion SensorThe Home Door/Window sensor monitors whether doors and windows are open or closed, sending customers text alerts when open. It needs no wiring and battery life is up to 3 years (with normal usage) according to Schlage.

Meanwhile the Home Motion Sensor sends text alerts whenever it detects motion, letting customers know of situations in need of attention. Installers can also sync it with other products on the Nexia network, allowing the system to turn on lights or trigger camera recording should the sensor detect motion.

Relaunched back in January 2012, the Nexia system (previously known as Link) is compatible with around 200 Z-Wave based wireless products, including Schlage devices (door locks, web cameras, appliance modules, light dimmers) and the Trane ComfortLink II thermostat, with the Nexia bridge unit connecting all devices to the network.
