Sensor Overview

Wi-Fi Status Indicators

Installing Batteries

Your sensor comes with 2 AA alkaline batteries which must be installed before use. We recommend alkaline batteries only in this sensor.

  1. Gently pull the front of the sensor forward using the battery access tab on top of the sensor to release the front of the main unit.
  2. Place the batteries in the battery compartment as shown. Make sure polarity (+/–) matches the markings in the product.
  3. Press the front and back cabinet together.

Wi-Fi Setup

NOTE: We recommend performing setup in the same location you intend to place your sensor.

  1. Download and open the iHome Control app from the App Store or Google Play.  Login to or create an iHome account
  2. Press sensors icon and then the Add Device Button.
  3. Select your sensor, then tap “Next”.
  4. Press and hold the Action Button on your sensor for 5 seconds until green LED is flashing, then release.
  5. Enter the following setup code when prompted in the app.

NOTE: If you see a solid or flashing RED LED, press and hold the Action Button for 5 seconds and then repeat steps 2 and 3

Sensor Mounting

  • The main sensor body includes mounting tape. A separate strip of tape is provided to mount the magnet.
  • The strip of tape can be applied to the side OR top of the magnet body, whichever works best for your particular setup.

“The two hand test”

(Perform this test before mounting your sensor).

  1. Use one hand to position the main sensor body against the intended mounting surface (we recommend a flat surface such as the door itself).
  2. Use another hand to position the magnet body on the intended mounting surface.
  3. Pull the sensor body away from the magnet to simulate opening the door/window.
  4. If you hear 2 beeps your proposed mounting location is GOOD and you can proceed to mount your sensor with the adhesive tape. If no sound is heard you must try an alternate positioning.
  5. Ensure the door/window can open/close freely without interfering with your sensor. Peel back the adhesive strip and press sensor against the surface for 60 seconds to ensure a good bond.

NOTE: Tape should be adhered to a clean/dry surface. We strongly recommend wiping surface with a 50/50 mixture of rubbing alcohol and water to allow for the strongest bond.
