VS1
Smart Contact Sensor
Product Overview:
The VOCOlinc Smart Contact Sensor (VS1) lets you know the status of your doors,
windows, cabinets or safety gates, by simply asking Siri or checking your iOS devices,
wherever you are*, via HomeKit, Apple’s smart home platform. You are able to
receive a notification whenever there is any change in the status of your doors or
windows, when equipped with the VS1. You can also use the VS1 to trigger scenes for
home automations (e.g. open window > turn on humidifier). The VS1 uses Bluetooth
low energy technology (BLE) and a replaceable battery (CR2032), which gives you up
to 6 months of battery life. Setup is quick and easy. Make your house safer today.
* an Apple TV (4th gen or above), HomePod or suitable iPad is required as a Home
Hub for remote access. VS1 is exclusively compatible with Apple HomeKit.
