How It Works
The SONOFF DW2 consists of two components:
-
Main Sensor: Detects changes in the magnetic field and communicates with the WiFi network.
-
Magnetic Contact: Mounted on the moving door or window.
When the door or window opens, the magnetic contact separates from the sensor, triggering a status update and notification through the eWeLink app.
Installation Instructions
- Install two AAA batteries in the main sensor.
- Download the eWeLink app on your smartphone.
- Pair the sensor with a 2.4GHz WiFi network.
- Attach the main sensor to the fixed door or window frame.
- Attach the magnetic contact to the moving section.
- Align both components according to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
- Test the opening and closing detection through the app.
