How does the VS1 Smart Contact Sensor Work?

1. Your door is closed

The smaller section in VS1 contains a magnet, which tells the sensor contained in the larger section that the door/window is closed, due to the magnet in the sensor being close to its own built in magnet.

2. Your door is opened

When the magnetic connection between the sensor and the magnet is broken, due to the magnet moving further away from the sensor as the door is opened, the sensor knows that the door/window is open. Simple!

3. Push notifications

With the magnetic connection get disconnected, Apple’s smart home system will send an instant push notification to your iPhone/Apple Watch, to notify you the moment a door/window has been opened/closed.

But there’s more…

Some Things Just go Together…

Door opens – Turn on Smart Lights

The VS1 works great in combination with smart bulbs, like the VOCOlinc L3. For example, It can create a simple automation to set the lights to a lovely shade of blue when you close the living room door for ‘Movie Night’.

Window opens – Turn off Air Purifier

The VS1 can be added to a window as well. A great use case for VS1 in this manner might be in combination with VAP1 PureFlow Smart Air Purifier. When the window opens, turn off the Air Purifier to save on your energy bills.

Window opens – Turn off Air Purifier

As VS1 works with Apple HomeKit, it can talk to other devices and work ‘smart’ with them. You can simply create an automation that turns the VOCOlinc Flowerbud Diffuser on when the blinds are closed, but only between certain hours of the day.

Slimmer and more stylish than the rest…

The VS1 is one of the slimmest HomeKit enabled contact sensors on the market, at only 0.35″ deep for the main sensor, and an even slimmer 0.31″ for the magnet. It also has a stylish and modern look, that goes beyond mere function, with its distinctive circular green LED that flashes momentarily to let you know it is functioning correctly. The matt finish also gives off a premium look and feel to only add to an impressive looking device.

Installation: Easy as 1-2-3

Prepare your device

Prepare the door or window for where the VS1 is destined to be placed, by making sure the surfaces are free of dust or grease, to ensure the included double-sided adhesive stickers will adhere properly.

Place on your door/window

Add them to the appropriate location, ensuring there’s no more than an inch between the sensor and magnet, and the dots on both parts are lined up with each other.
