We still offer Door & Window switch Tabs, but we now also offer Sensative Strips, which might be a better option for you.
Ideally, before this sensor is installed, a tabs hub needs to be installed and confirmed working - otherwise the sensor will deplete itself looking for a hub.
Check here the checklist for installation: Checklist for hardware installation
Check our instructions on tape here: Tabs Installation Guide
Datasheets can be found here: /wiki/spaces/SUM/pages/492584
After installation:
- Configuration of Tabs sensors on Studio: Tabs (Tracknet) configuration guide
...
Caution! Do not place any tape on the sticker side.
Place 1 piece of adhesive tape on the flat side of the magnet.
When installing the sensor and magnet make sure the door will not be blocked by either part. Place the magnet on the door itself. Place the sensor on the door frame with the LED facing towards the magnet.
- Remove the clear battery strip to power up the sensor (red box 2).
- During installation, it's important to clean the installation surface to remove dust particles which have a great influence on the strength of the adhesive bond. This can be done using a simple dust cloth.
- Once the surface is clean, remove the adhesive tape cover and mount the sensor on the desired location.
- Press the sensor firmly for 5 seconds against the installation surface
Repeat the last 3 steps for the magnet.

Quality Assurance
In GO Live Floorplans, you should see count adding up each time the door is opened; in Studio > Devices you should see values 0+1+0+1 coming in.
For Live Floorplan and Dashboards, only transition from 0 to 1 is counted = only door opening is counted.
What you should see on GO Live Floorplan > View Pulse Count and/or in Studio > Devices:
Remember that in Studio, you might/should also see values from the sensor heartbeat coming in. Don't mistake these for actual data (heartbeat = sending 1+1+1 as values; whereas real data would be 0+1+0+1...)
