The advantages of a connected home are increasingly widespread as well as accessible and translate into a simplification of everyday domestic life along with improved security and energy efficiency. In this rapidly-evolving scenario, windows – an important part of the building envelope – become the protagonists thanks to intelligent and versatile solutions such as the Sense by MACO system. 

Sense by MACO sensors are wireless devices that transform windows, doors and sliding doors into active elements of the digital home. Thanks to integrated technology, they monitor the state of opening or closing of the door or window, communicating in real time with the home automation system via the Matter protocol. Compact, discreet and powered by standard batteries, the sensors are invisible when the window is closed. The system comes in four versions, conceived for windows opening inwards or outwards, for lift-and-slide systems and doors. Thanks to this versatility, it is possible to precisely monitor the state of every opening. The data collected by the sensors allows intelligent scenarios to be activated such as alarms, heating control, ventilation management and much more.

An important aspect of Sense by MACO regards the extreme simplicity of installation: sensors can be mounted directly onto the hardware groove or the rebate of the frame, an advantage for window and door installers who are fitting them to new windows but also for private individuals who want to make their existing windows smart without the need for special technical expertise. The compact design and absence of wiring makes the process quick and clean with no need for invasive work.
