What It Does

Built for occupancy.

A LoRaWAN magnetic contact switch for doors and windows. Reports open, close and tamper events instantly — suited to security monitoring, access logging and automated responses when a door is left open. Up to 6.8 years on a single battery, with NFC configuration. LoRaWAN decoder: Milesight WS301 payload decoder & codec (GitHub)

Highlights
Instant open-close alerts
Every door or window state change — open, closed, or tampered — is reported immediately over LoRaWAN, giving estates teams a live audit trail for access control and security without any wiring.
Nearly seven years on one battery
At a standard reporting interval the ER14250 cell lasts up to 6.8 years, so the sensor can be fitted and largely forgotten across a large estate of doors and windows.
Built-in tamper detection
A tamper alarm fires the moment the sensor is removed from its mount, giving an auditable alert if a sensor is interfered with in a school corridor or communal area.

Complete The Setup

You will also need a gateway.

Every LoRaWAN sensor needs a gateway to reach the internet. One gateway covers a whole building — the Milesight UG65 is the standard choice for most sites.

On The Platform

A device on its own, or part of the bigger picture.

Buy this device and run it yourself, or have it monitored on the Planetic platform — live dashboards, standards tracking and automatic alerts, with the compliance evidence kept for you.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need anything else to use this device?
Every LoRaWAN sensor needs a gateway to reach the internet. One gateway covers a whole building — the Milesight UG65 is the standard choice for most sites. The gateway itself does not need a sensor to run.
Is the price ex VAT?
Yes — all prices shown are ex VAT. VAT is added at checkout where applicable.
Can I have it monitored on the Planetic platform?
Yes. Buy the device outright and run it yourself, or have it monitored on Planetic — live dashboards, standards tracking and automatic alerts, with compliance evidence kept for you.
