Product Description

For use as both: 

 

Entry Door Sensing

 

Outside Door / Window Sensing

The Verve Door/Window Sensor provides energy savings by 

detecting when a door or window opens or closes.
It is a wireless solar-powered sensor that can be used on its own 

to detect the open and closed status of entry doors or windows, 

or it can be linked with occupancy sensors to more accurately 

track when a room is occupied or vacant.
The sensor is easy to install on door and window frames, and 

virtually anything indoors that opens and closes.
Features Include: 

 

Sends wireless message to other devices whenever a door or 

window opens or closes

 

Harvests ambient solar energy to power the sensor and send 

wireless communication

 

Mounts easily on standard doors or windows

 

Works with motion sensors to track room occupancy

 

Supplemental battery option for extreme low-light condi-

tions

Planning 

Take a moment to plan for the sensor’s successful operation and 

optimal communication with other system components. 
Remove the sensor from its packaging and place it under a 

strong light to charge it for installation.

 

Ensure the location provides consistent and adequate light

 

Install according to the alignment requirements

 

Determine which sensor profile is appropriate (when linking 

with EnOcean-based In-line Switch, Plug-in Switch or HVAC 

Setback Modules (refer to the “Linking” and “Sensor Profiles” 

sections) - otherwise;  when linking with 3rd party control-

lers, these profiles aren’t relevant

Consider the construction materials, such as metal and concrete, 

in the space and obstacles that may interfere with RF signals
