Door/Window Sensor Homematic IP 158603A0

The Homematic IP Door/Window Sensor (model 158603A0) is a compact wireless sensor for monitoring the opening and closing of doors and windows. Designed for reliable home monitoring, the device operates at 868 MHz and is powered by two 1.5 V alkaline batteries to provide long service life while maintaining a discreet white appearance (147 mm x 20 mm x 16 mm).

Advantages

When paired with Homematic IP radiator thermostats, it can trigger automatic temperature reduction during ventilation. The unit's two batteries support an extended operating period—up to approximately 48 months under normal use—reducing maintenance frequency.
