I’ve recently come across a fantastic SmartApp that can monitor multiple doors for a knock, which I thought I’d share with the community. This app is a game-changer for anyone looking to enhance their home security or simply have a smarter way to handle visitors.
The app works by detecting a knock using either a multisensor or an acceleration and contact sensor. What’s great is that it checks the specific contact sensor to see if the door is open or was opened within the last 60 seconds. If the knock is detected, the app can perform actions like turning on switches, dimming lights, sending push notifications, texts, or even audio messages. I’ve been using it to trigger my Zooz Smart Door Chime, which adds a nice touch of elegance when someone arrives.
One thing I particularly appreciate is the flexibility of the app. It doesn’t just monitor a single door; it can handle multiple doors and notify you through various channels. This makes it perfect for homes with multiple entry points or for those who want to ensure they never miss a knock, whether they’re in another room or out running errands.
If anyone is interested in trying it out, I’d be happy to provide feedback or guidance. It’s definitely a tool that has made my smart home setup more functional and user-friendly. Let me know if you’d like to discuss further or share your own experiences with similar apps!
