Just bought the home alarm system with the contact sensor for the window… As we are installing them, we realized we have the bug screen on the interior, and can’t get a right spot to stick the contact sensor to. Any pictures or advice on how everyone install the sensor is greatly appreciated!!

Welcome to the Wyze User Community Forum @Canada_user ! :man_raising_hand: The screen is on the inside? That is going to make it difficult. I can’t even envision how you open the window with the screen on the inside. Not sure how much room you have between the screen and the window pane frame, but y…

The window open with the hand crank. So the bug screen stay intact, and just need to hand crank open the window. Not much space between the window glass and the bug screen unfortunately. Definitely didn’t see this problem coming until now.

Ah yes… casement windows. Didn’t think of that. Is there enough space between the window and the screen to allow for the thickness of the sensor? If so, the magnet can be fixed to the jam or sill of the opening side of the window (not sure if they are horizontal or vertical casements) with the sens…

Didn’t quite work… it keep falling when I opened the window. Any advice? thanks

Can you post a picture or pictures with the window partly open? Maybe 2 inches? I just want to see what parts are the moving window and what parts are the frame/screen. Thanks!

First, please forgive my second grade coloring. I hope you get the gist of what I am proposing. The question is: will the magnet and the sensor fit in between the screen and window? If so, I would try to place bot at the bottom left, both facing you with the lines on each aligned with each other. …

I expect some people to say this is extreme. This is what I use on my gate. Mostly because it separates the sensor from the magnet switch side and give me flexibility [image] 2-Pack Outdoor Contact Sensor & Hub Starter Kit lora iot long-range gate sensors and hub Price: USD 59.…

Also quite difficult to integrate into an HMS monitored system. No compatibility whatsoever.

The measurement with the tape measure appears to be from the left hand window without the screen.

The sensor is ~15mm thick. Is there 15mm between the screen frame and the sash frame?
