Yale SensCheck allows the homeowner to be notified via the Yale Smart Living Home App if their doors are open or closed, locked or unlocked, and whether their windows are in the night vent position. As well as checking the door or window status, SensCheck can be set to give a chime when the window or door is opened.
It is also compatible with voice partners Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant enabling homeowners to ask a variety of commands.

This provenance means that all over the world we’re trusted to make homes secure, and people feel secure too.”
The Yale SensCheck sensors have been accredited with the BSI kitemark for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Compatible with Yale’s Sync Smart Home Alarm and CCTV systems, SensCheck also has the additional standalone security feature of an integral alarm system via the Yale Sync Hub. The 94dB internal siren is triggered during a break-in, as well as receiving a notification through the Yale Smart Living Home App.
