Settings
In the contact sensor settings, you are able to select which events you want the contact sensor to record, when it gets opened, closed, or tampered with.
You can also decide to only create events during monitoring routines if you want to use it mostly during that time.
Each event type will be listed in the timeline when recorded.
The cooldown period is there to provide the option to not create too many events when a lot of events of a given type happen in a short sequence.
Notifications
If you would like to receive notifications on your phone when events are created by cameras, you can activate this feature in the Settings tab of the app, selecting "Notifications Settings" and then "Monitoring".
You will see the list of all the WiZ homes you are a member of, and can elect to receive notifications for certain types of events.
Note that open and close are a specific category, whereas tamper and low battery are under "general" notifications category
Monitoring Routines
In the Library you can activate monitoring routines, and the contact sensor can be used as a motion detector as part of the routines. You can add it to the list of triggers to detect motion in the home.
Default routines are available to try and test, and you can edit those to fit your needs. Routines enable you to have a reaction at home level when SpaceSense, Motion sensors such as the contact sensor, or the Cameras detect movement.
The action resulting of movement detected is by default the Alarm light mode, flashing all lights of the home.
If the routine is in alarm mode, you can reset it to re-apply it, and you may also want to apply a different light mode or off to the lights if you want to ensure the whole home is not flashing anymore. You can do so using quick actions for example.
Home Timeline
Owners can access the Home Timeline from the Settings page of WiZ app v2 to have a global vision of events that have happened in the home, gathering those from all contact sensors, routines and cameras in one central place combined with any type of motion detection during monitoring routines.
