The Aeotec Recessed Door Sensor 7 is an invisible security solution, designed to be installed within the door or window frame. It consists of two main components: the sensor unit and a magnetic contact. When the magnet moves away from the sensor, it detects an "open" state, and when it returns, it detects a "closed" state. This information is then transmitted wirelessly to your Z-Wave hub.

4.2. Pairing with a Z-Wave Hub (Inclusion)

The Recessed Door Sensor 7 supports SmartStart for easy pairing and traditional Z-Wave inclusion.

SmartStart Inclusion (Recommended)

SmartStart enabled products can be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code present on the sensor or its packaging with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is required, and the SmartStart product will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the network vicinity.

1. Ensure your Z-Wave hub supports SmartStart.
2. Open your Z-Wave hub's mobile application and select the option to add a new device using SmartStart or by scanning a QR code.
3. Scan the QR code located on the sensor unit or its packaging.
4. Power on the sensor (ensure battery is installed). The sensor will automatically attempt to pair with the hub.
