Aeotec Door Window Sensor 8 – Opening, tilt, temperature and humidity sensor, Z‑Wave, white (ZWA055-C)

The Aeotec Door Window Sensor 8 (ZWA055-C) is a Z-Wave 800 Series door and window, tilt, temperature, and humidity sensor.

The device uses a built-in reed sensor to monitor the position of the included magnet and reports whether a door or window is open or closed. The integrated three-axis sensor can also detect changes in tilt, making it suitable for monitoring tilt-and-turn windows, roof windows, and garage doors.

The Door Window Sensor 8 also measures temperature and relative humidity. Based on the measured values, it calculates the dew point and can report a mould risk warning when humidity levels are high. The opening status and environmental data can be used in heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and security automations.

The device supports Z-Wave 800 Series hardware, Z-Wave Plus Long Range communication, S2 encryption, and SmartStart inclusion. It can be powered by one CR14250 battery or a 5 V USB-C power supply. It is compatible with Home Assistant, SmartThings, Homey, FIBARO, and other compatible Z-Wave systems.

About Aeotec

• Reversible magnetic logic: A configuration parameter can reverse whether the near or far magnet position corresponds to the open state.
• Opening-based automation: Opening a door or window can trigger lighting, an alarm, heating shutdown, or another automation.
• Tilt-based automation: The tilted state can be used as a separate event for ventilation or security workflows.
• Temperature display: Measured temperature can be logged and displayed in charts by the control system.
• Humidity display: Relative humidity data can be used as a condition for ventilation and dehumidification automations.
• Dew point reporting: The calculated dew point can be transmitted as a separate sensor value in compatible systems.
• Mould risk status: The device can report conditions suitable for mould growth when the configured criteria are met.
• High temperature alarm: An upper temperature threshold can be configured to trigger an event or direct Z-Wave command.
