This means that we know what is happening to the front door even if we are out walking with the dog or shopping. It can also report back on the temperature of the hall which might be useful for checking on hypothermia risk for elders.Fitting the unit was very quick although I had to use a thicker sticky fix to compensate for the profile of my uPVC door as the device comes with sticky tabs that are very thin. You can also fix the unit with screws for a more permanent solution.The power is derived from an internal camera type battery. I haven't had the unit long enough to know how long the battery lasts but you do get an alert and battery status on the phone.All in all a good purchase which has proved it's worth. ### ⭐ Battery life less than three months; tamper detection is not reliable; range is limited *by on Reviewed in the United States December 9, 2017* I bought four of these to use on windows. I want to like them, but my experience has been very poor.Good:- Aesthetically discrete and pleasing.- I have not had the alignment problems others have mentioned in their reviews. On my sliding windows, the devices are accurately triggered when the windows are closed or opened.- HomeKit compatibility means sensors can be used with Home application to take actions when the sensor is triggered—e.g., turn of air conditining when someone opens a window.- Installation was easy enough by following instructions.Bad:- Battery life has been three months, compared to the two years advertised on FIBARO's web site.- The adhesive provided with the device is not strong enough. It gives in to the weight of the device itself, incorrectly triggering tamper notifications. I had Amazon replace one unit because it simply fell off. My window frames are painted metal, which is not a porous surface and therefore this should not happen.- The cover is not tight enough, incorrectly triggering tamper notifications. Most of my four devices constantly report as tampered because of this issue or the issue described above.- Temperature readings are fairly incorrect. I have thermostats next to these devices and their temperature sensors are usually off by five degrees or so.- Range is limited—if your HomeKit hub is not located within 15 feet of the device, there's a good chance it will not be able to communicate with it.- Expensive compared to competition.I have just made a warranty claim. I will revise this review based on FIBARO’s response.Unfortunately, this device is not ready for prime time. It tries to do too much and ends up doing nothing. I wish they removed the tamper and temperature sensor and made this a good door/window sensor that customers can actually rely on. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Mixed feelings on this contact sensor *by on Reviewed in the United States January 6, 2017* For reference, I currently have the Elgato Door and Window Sensor: Elgato Eve Door & Window, Wireless Contact Sensor with Apple HomeKit technology, white on my one of my doors. Since the Fibaro has a temperature sensor built in, I thought I would buy this contact sensor instead of another Elgato for my other door. However, after comparing the Fibaro product to the Elgato product, I've decided to stick with Elgato for now.First Fibaro only prints the Homekit setup code on the back of the setup manual They do not print it anywhere on the device itself, like Elgato and iDevices do, so if you lose the manual, you will not be able to setup the product again, if you happen to lose the manual and need to set up the product again.In both the Elgato and Fibaro products, the smaller piece of the sensor is not the same height as the larger piece. Further, sometimes you will find your door is not as straight/level as it was when it first was installed. Maybe because you kick the bottom part of the door to open it, or your toddler might have rammed his little truck into that one space too often, and now it has a small dent. To combat all of these cases, Elgato provides about 6 spacers with the product. You can stack the spacers together, and connect them to the smaller contact sensor to raise it to the height of the larger contact sensor. This was a great design choice, as I had to use most of the spacers to align both pieces of the Elgato contact sensors to my door.The Fibaro product does not have any spacers, so it as a little more difficult to align both pieces of the sensor to my door to make sure the larger piece always sees the smaller piece when the door opens and closes. To make sure the larger piece sees the smaller piece, I bought double sided tape at my big box store, and cut it to fit the smaller piece of the Fibaro sensor. I just placed multiple pieces of this double sided tape together to help raise the height of the smaller piece of the Fibaro sensor. After I did that, the contact sensor worked great every time. The spacers Elgato provides really makes installation much easier. Your mileage may vary since your doors will be different than mine and you may not need any type of spacers.The Fibaro motion sensor also seems to go to sleep, to conserve the battery, every so often. When you open their app, the Elgato app, iDevices app, or the Apple Home app, to connect to this device, sometime you'll get a connection failure. Sometimes, the failure will correct itself and the device will wake up. But sometimes, you need to go into the IOS setting and turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on again to give the device a kick to wake up. When this deep sleep happens, even opening and closing the door does not wake it up. Therefore, you might miss one or two open and closes.The feature that I believe Elgato has over the Fibaro, and any other door/window contact sensor for that matter, is their logging. Every ten minutes, Elgato logs all the OPEN and CLOSE events that happen on the device. They keep a months’ worth of logs on the device. Therefore, you can go back in time and see the exact day and time a particular door/window was opened and closed, within that month. You can even look at just the OPEN or just the CLOSE events individually. This is a really interesting feature that is missing from the Fibaro product and once you get use to having these logs, you miss them when you don't have them.Currently, IOS 10.2 enabled Homekit notifications. However, Homekit notifications can be finicky. Sometimes I get them and sometimes I don't. If you use an iPad or Apple TV as a hub, and have rules running on them, as well as rules running on your iPhone, then I have found that Homekit notifications can be stalled for about 10 seconds or so. If the rules engine on your phone runs first, and fails to communicate over Bluetooth, for any reason, then no rules will run on your hub device for about 10 seconds. Thus, you will lose notifications during this time. So, the Elgato logs become a really great feature to have in this scenario.Lastly, If you place the sensor at the top of the door, the temperature sensor will register a higher temperature than if you placed it on the bottom of the door. Neither may not be the true temperature in the room, as measured by your thermostat, as the your thermostat is measuring the temperature around the middle of the room. Currently, there is no way to provide an offset, for this device to provide a reading close to what a thermostat would provide.In terms of reliability, and overall app design, the Elgato product has the edge over the Fibaro product at this time. To use the Fibaro product with any rules, you'll have to either use the Elgato rules engine or the rules engine inside the Apple Home app. Currently, the Fibaro IOS app does not have a rules engine of it's own. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fibaro Door/Window HomeKit-enabled Contact Sensor, White - Zooz 800 Series Z-Wave Long Range S2 USB Stick ZST39 LR, Great for DIY Smart Home (Use with Home Assistant or HomeSeer Software) - THIRDREALITY ZigBee Smart Plug 4 Pack with Real-time Energy Monitoring,15A Outlet,Timer Function,ETL Certified,ZigBee Hub Required,Work with Home Assistant,Compatible Echo Devices and SmartThings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/37722525-fibaro-usa-fgbhdw-002-1-door-window-homekit-enabled-contact](https://www.desertcart.us/products/37722525-fibaro-usa-fgbhdw-002-1-door-window-homekit-enabled-contact) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
