This Shock Sensor detects the vibrations made by an intruder trying to break into a window or door and sends a Z-Wave® trigger signal to the network. It also has a tamperproof switch, which will trigger a Z-Wave signal when the sensor's cover is removed. These trigger signals can be used to activate various other devices and perform preprogrammed tasks. When the sensor is included into a secured Z-Wave network, all communications will be encrypted using AES encryption.
