Not just for alarms
Compatible contact sensors can trigger a voice announcement, turn on a light, or start another routine when a door opens. These are convenience and awareness features—not substitutes for active supervision or certified security systems.
Ideas worth testing
- Announce that a frequently used door opened.
- Turn on a hallway light when a utility-room door opens.
- Remind the household when a cabinet or pantry door stays open, if the platform supports a duration condition.
- Use a door opening as a trigger for a simple welcome scene.
Keep it private and reliable
Choose announcements that are helpful without revealing sensitive information. Test whether a sensor continues reporting after hub or network interruptions. Do not depend on these alerts as your sole safety measure.
💡 EzeLuma Tip: Document the original settings before changing anything, then test one change at a time.
