Integrators Heinz Posted April 25 Integrators Share Posted April 25 The Shelly BLU Door/Window sensor offers various installation options. The most common method is mounting it on the top of your window or door to indicate whether it's open or closed. This device has three statuses: Open, Closed, and Tilted. When showing the tilted state, placing the main component on the window and attaching the magnet to the window frame is recommended. Look for the arrow on the Shelly device; this indicates the side closest to which the magnet should be placed to change the device's state. There's a maximum distance between the magnet and the sensor for proper functioning, typically around 20mm to register as Closed. Once the magnet moves around 25mm from the Shelly device, it switches to the Open state. Here's an example of a typical installation method, along with the recommended distance between the magnet and the Shelly BLU device.

It is not only recommended, it is indispensable! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mschaeffler Posted April 30 Members Share Posted April 30 (edited) I have installed the device on the top inner side of my window: So it is not visible: in closed state it is inside the window and in open it is on the top outside the visible area. The magnet is also inside of the window on the frame: With this mounting also a tilted window can be detected.

Integrators Heinz Posted May 13 Author Integrators Share Posted May 13 That's an exciting way to install it. I like the fact its super hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpo881 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 How is the measurement of the inclination angle achieved? Is it required for the sensor to detect an opening first or can it simply measure rotation in degrees from the closed position? Thank you Door/window inclination angle measurement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supportadmin Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Angle detection is possible only in opened state. @mpo881 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpo881 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 @supportadmin thank you for your reply. So, the sensor must first detect an opening via the reed switch and then angle detection is possible from the gyro? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
