A highly-affordable HomeKit contact sensor

VOCOlinc has introduced the VS1, a new contact sensor for Apples Homekit.

Whether you are just starting your HomeKit smart home or you already have an established one, a contact sensor is an easy way to make your home more secure as well as smarter.

The most simple and commonplace automation is to get a notification from HomeKit whenever your door or window is opened while you are away. You can also trigger your lights to come on whenever you open your front door, or perhaps you could turn off your AC when the windows are opened.
