tuya window and door sensor

A Tuya Window and Door Sensor is a smart home security sensor used to detect when a door, window, drawer, or other opening is opened or closed. It’s part of the Tuya smart ecosystem, which includes apps like Tuya Smart and Smart Life for controlling smart devices. 

Monitors open/close status: The sensor has two parts — a main unit and a magnet. When the magnet separates from the main unit (e.g., when a door/window opens), it detects the change. 

Real-time notifications: It sends instant alerts to your smartphone when the sensor detects an open or close event. 

Remote monitoring: You can check the status of your doors/windows from anywhere using the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app.

Automation: You can create smart scenes — for example, turn on a light when a door opens or trigger alarms/cameras. 

Voice control: Many models support Google Assistant for voice-based status checks and automation. 

 How It Works

Wireless communication: Some use Zigbee (requires a Zigbee hub/gateway) for stable, low-power connection, while others connect directly over Wi-Fi

Battery powered: Most sensors run on small batteries and have long battery life thanks to low power consumption. 

Installation: Easy to install using adhesive tape
