This sensor seamlessly integrates with your ADT smart security system to provide real time alerts. Ideal for high-traffic entry points, it helps keep your home secure without the need for wiring. The Premium Door/Window Sensor works by using a magnetic circuit that detects when a door or window is opened or closed.

Where should I place Premium Door/Window Sensors for optimal coverage?
Place Premium Door/Window Sensors on easily accessible entry points, such as front and back doors, ground-level windows, and garage doors. For optimal performance, install them on any door or window that could be used to enter your home. You can also install sensors on sensitive interior areas, such as a child's bedroom, and personal storage, such as files and valuable drawers, for additional layers of security.
Does the Premium Door/Window Sensor integrate with other smart home devices?
Yes! The Premium Door/Window Sensor seamlessly integrates with your ADT+ app and ADT smart home security system devices, which includes the Base and optional smart home accessories like smart lights. Sensors work seamlessly with other smart home security system devices and can act as triggers for convenient smart home automations.
Can I monitor it remotely when I’m not home?
Yes, you can remotely access and control the Premium Door/Window Sensor using the ADT+ app on your smartphone or tablet virtually wherever you have an internet connection. Get notified when a sensor is opened, battery is low, or it's tampered with.
What automations does it support?
The Premium Door/Window Sensor offers versatile smart home automation capabilities when integrated with your security system. By connecting the sensor through the ADT+ app, you can create customized automation rules to help enhance your home's security and convenience.
Is it resistant to tampering?
Yes, the ADT Premium Door/Window Sensor has tamper-resistant features. If someone tries to remove or tamper with the sensor or if it senses a shock, it can trigger an alert to the ADT+ app, helping to protect your home against unauthorized access. This additional layer of protection helps to ensure reliable and secure monitoring.
What happens if my Wi-Fi or power goes down?
The ADT Premium Door/Window Sensor will still work if your Wi-Fi goes down. The sensor communicates with your Base using a dedicated wireless signal, independent from Wi-Fi. As long as your system is powered, it will continue to monitor activity and send alerts.
If the power goes out, your Premium Door/Window Sensor will continue to function normally. The sensor runs on a battery, is connected wirelessly to your Base, and doesn’t rely on your home’s power. Plus, your Base has a 24-hour built-in backup battery, so it can keep sending alerts during power outages. This helps to ensure continuous performance, even when the lights go out.
