Hmm, very big promise ;-)

Saw these a couple of weeks ago, but they say they can't guarantee the signal coverage when used with aluminum diors/windows mailed them about it). 
I was going to order them to test, but I can only find Scandinavian sellers (it's a Swedish product I think) and none of these seem to have a good return policy in case they don't work as expected...

Plus, the battery is not replaceable. When their 10 year promise is not true, you risk having to throw them away after a couple of years!

+ more expensive than fibaro door/window sensor

Here is a reseller in Germany but quite expensive. Not sure what the normal price is. https://control-your-home.de/strips-by-sensative

That is the normal price, I'm afraid.

If you want door sensors that can be hidden this is also an option: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00SX9WGWK/ref=s9_simh_gw_p60_d20_i1?pf_rd_m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&pf_rd_s=desktop-3&pf_rd_r=0GM7NCFPXBJ36CGKSSJW&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=585296547&pf_rd_i=desktop

I have these 'strips' received. Will test it with homey. I want  to use this sensor on a window. For doors i'm a big fan of the Aeotec Z-wave Recessed Door Sensors.

Did you manage to install it? I've just ordered one for testing as well.

how do you like it?

also wondering if strips work with homey. i now have two non working aeotec recessed door sensors . strips i can put up for the time athom needs for there rewrite if they work and move them to the windows once they got the others working.

Rocodamelshe

Shame they are not IP67. Would love to buy them for outside but IP44 is not enough me guess.

DaneeDeKruyff

Seems good enough:

4

JIS 4

IP-x4

Plensdicht

Geen schade indien besproeid (10 l/min) onder eender welke hoek

I have not installed it yet. I postponed installing z-wave stuff till the rewrite of drivers and apps is ready. I'm a big fan of the Aeotec Recessed Door Sensors by the way (and it works ok with homey). Have them installed on almost every door. I'm planning to use the strips sensor on a 'klapraam' window.

@ErikVanDongen jusrt a question: can i install these Aeotec Recessed Door Sensors in plastic doors becuse you have to drill? 

thx for your reply

Hey fellow Homeyans, still some worries about availability of greatlooking Sensative doorsensors? I did some shopping around (see links) but I did not decide yet about which sensor I should buy for my 5 doors and 2 vulnerable windows in my new house. It's because of some doubt about actual Z-wave situation around Homey. My Fibaro multisensor v3.2 is doing quite well, but......?
Anyone already results or review in combination with Homey?

Just some pics of installed aeotec sensors. I drilled 19mm holes in wooden and metal frames without issues. I prefer to put the magnet in the frame, because that's the only visible thing. The sensor itself just 'hangs in there'. Drilling a 8 cm deep hole in a massive wooden door requires some precision off course. 
Placing them on outside doors requires some consideration, because those holes are not weather resistant.

@phil_s ;
I would take that awnser as a no.
Drilling a 8 cm deep hole in ( kunststof kozijnen) is not goin to work.

DaneeDeKruyff

Why not, are they solid?

Rocodamelshe

No they are not, think that's the problem.

Rocodamelshe

phil_s

Thank you all! Yeah i was also thinking that it is nötig a good ideal to drill holes in a plastic (Kunststoff) door because it is not solid like a wooden door.

but today there are more plastic doors than wood doors. Aeotec writes in no sentence of this ...

ErikVanDongen

Your main problem is not solid vs non-solid, but the structure of a plastic frame. You need a place to put the sensor in line with the magnet. 

phil_s

ok, understand

I've installed a Strips yesterday (product in the original post).

To my pleasant surprise, adding the device to Homey worked perfectly the first time (version 0.8.35). It wasn't added in secure mode, but I'm not sure if that's even supported by Strips. In any case, it seems stable so far, sensor is still responding as expected.

It shows up as 3 alarms: contact alarm, tamper alarm and generic alarm. I'm not sure what the generic alarm is yet, but for me it seems to be always on.

Regarding the functioning of the door sensor itself: the magnet supposedly needs to be within 10mm of the flat end of the sensor. It seems to be it's a little bit less than than, so do test the setup properly before deciding on the final positions.

Huh how? It does not work for me...
