Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola homesight ™ Wireless Door/Window Sensor. The
Door/Window Sensor uses a magnetic field to enable you to monitor the opening or closing of a door,
window, cabinet, etc. This Quick Start Guide describes how to set up and troubleshoot your Door/Window
Sensor.
Controlling Your Sensor
Using your computer and the Wireless System Controller, you locally manage your home environment with
the Motorola
homesight software. When configured, the system can notify you of any new events by sending
an e-mail when your Door/Window Sensor detects an event. An event is defined as the opening or closing of
a door/window/cabinet, etc.
How It Works
The sensor monitors the status of the magnetic contact. When a change is detected with an opening or
closing of a monitored door or window, the sensor sends a notice of the event to your Wireless System
Controller, if enabled in Event Setup. The example shows a Door/Window Sensor that has been triggered
when the door opens.
