433mhz wireless door/window sensor?

#1 Post by data » 29 Dec 2016, 15:34

For approx. 2 US$ including shipping, these are the cheapest 433MHz wireless
door/window sensors I found on aliexpress: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/2JYF2jy

Said to be based on an EV1527 chip they are supposed to work with RFLink?!
Or can anyone here recommend something better for a still reasonable price?

Thank you and Kind Regards,

Usually these will work perfect with RFLink as EV1527 transmitting sensors.
The drawback is that only removing the magnet will be sensed and result in a transmit burst with length of about one second. Putting the magnet back will not be sensed.
Another use for this sensor can be to indicate that a alarm installation gets active. When the battery is not installed and the battery contacts are connected to the siren output of an alarm installation it will transmit a burst as soon as power is applied i.e. as the siren output becomes active..

Can you recommend better ones?

What about the KERUI D026?

Do you have experience how long the batteries usually last?
Would be great to have a device where the batteries last > 12 months.

I have no experience with that KERUI sensor.

About 12V batteries in these cheap EV1527 sensors. I experienced that they work quit long, many months up to a year or more. Battery use is very low in inactive state, something like 25uA is what I measured (if I remember well)
