Q&A

Q: Is there any difference in using Contact Sensor on a door or window?****

A: When installed to a window, the motion sensing feature will be automatically disabled because the cool air or hot air may interfere with the bulit-in motion sensor beneath the Reset Button which may trigger false alarms.

Q: How to enable Cloud Service?****

A: You need to purchase a SwitchBot Hub Mini (sold separately) and set it up under your account. Then navigate to the app Home page. If you see a cloud icon showing up on the Contact Sensor device card, this means it is being scanned by Hub Mini. Navigate to the Settings page of Contact Sensor to enable Cloud Service from there.
