Hi
I have the thermostat and valves from Netatmo and was looking at the sensors to put on the windows and doors at home
Currently do have an alarm but would like to add these to get any notifications if we are away etc mainly for downstairs
Just going through the forum and trying to get reviews online (cant find any)
Just looking for how they work and do they stay connected or any issues with them?
Thinking of Buying Sensors are they working?
Re: Thinking of Buying Sensors are they working?
I don’t have them, therefore I can’t gibe you a review.
But I wanted to say that you‘ll need the Smart Indoor Camera first to use the Tags. They don‘t work stand-alone.

So you need the camera also not stand alone?
So if get camera and install sensors around the house all things going should work?

Yes, the Sensors connect to the Smart Indoor Camera. Without one you can‘t use them.

Thanks
If I buy the camera and the sensors do the sensors have to be close to the camera
So I will have camera in the hall viewing front door. However will also have sensors in back of house on back doors. So doors and wall in between these and camera
So if back door is opened do I still get notifications
Re: Thinking of Buying Sensors are they working?
It should work ok. I have a sensor on my front gate which is a fair distance from the Welcome and it still works, even though the signal reception shows zero bars for the sensor.
The big drawback though is that the sensor can only trigger recording of the Welcome that it is paired with. So if the Welcome is not in line of sight with the sensor, it does not record anything useful.
It is a big shame the sensor can't be set to trigger recording of a Presence as I have two Presences that can see the gate.
