arre Contact Sensor
A contact sensor is the simple piece that keeps smart locks honest—because “locked” doesn’t mean “closed.” If you’re using a door like the interior garage door as part of your security routine, a contact sensor prevents arming when the door is still open. It’s one of those small upgrades that makes the whole system feel smarter, not just more automated.
Pros
- +Verifies door closed/open state (not just lock state)
- +Helps prevent arming a security system with a door left open
- +Pairs well with locks for better smart home logic
Cons
- -Adds another device to install and maintain
- -Doesn’t fix lock behavior—only reports door state
