Smart Security Meets Clever Engineering

• New Integration of Shelly Door Sensor and Stratlec Hinged Bracket Solves Common Garage Automation Challenges
• No wires, no server, no cloud, no monthly subscription solution

GQEBERHA, SOUTH AFRICA — Home automation and security specialists are welcoming a streamlined solution for residential monitoring with the pairing of the Shelly Blu Door/Window Sensor and the Stratlec Hinged Bracket. This combination addresses a long-standing installation hurdle for automated and traditional garage doors, offering homeowners enhanced peace of mind and installers a faster, more reliable setup process.

While garage doors are primary entry points for modern homes, ensuring they are securely closed can be a source of daily anxiety. Traditional smart sensor installations often struggle with the unique alignment requirements of sectional or tip-up garage doors, frequently resulting in false triggers or mounting failures. The integration of the compact Shelly Wi-Fi door sensor with the specially engineered Stratlec hinged bracket provides a robust mechanical workaround, ensuring precise sensor alignment regardless of door movement or structural shifting.

Did I Close the Garage?

Imagine a busy parent rushing out for the school run or an evening commute. Amidst the morning rush, the garage door is left wide open. Without a reliable monitoring system, the home remains vulnerable to neighbourhood prowlers, sudden weather changes, or wandering pets for hours.

With the Shelly Door Sensor mounted securely via the Stratlec Hinged Bracket, the homeowner receives an instant notification directly to their smartphone the moment the door remains open past a designated time. Whether they are across town or already at the office, they can check their app with absolute confidence—knowing the sensor reading is accurate thanks to the bracket’s stable, pivoting design. For custom installers, this means fewer call-backs for misaligned sensors and a happier, more secure end-user.

Key Benefits of the Partnership:

1. Flawless Alignment: The Stratlec Hinged Bracket accommodates the mechanical arc of garage doors, preventing sensor snapping or signal loss.
2. Real-Time Remote Monitoring: Powered by Shelly’s smart ecosystem, users receive instant status updates and automation triggers anywhere in the world.
3. Effortless Retrofitting: Designed for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts, the setup requires minimal tools and integrates seamlessly with existing home automation platforms.

Standard magnetic contact sensors often fail or misalign on moving structures like sectional garage doors, roll-up shutters, or articulated gates.

The Shelly BLU Door/Window Sensor & Hinged Bracket Kit solves this issue for security integrators and garage door specialists. By pairing Shelly’s advanced, multi-sensor Bluetooth device with a dynamic hinged mounting plate, this kit ensures positive physical contact and accurate position sensing through the full arc of door movement.

Whether you are integrating garage door status into an alarm panel, setting up auto-close logic, or adding smart access monitoring for clients, this bundle delivers a fast, reliable, clean-looking installation.

Key Features for Installers & Integrators

• Precision Hinged Mounting: Designed specifically to handle changing angles during garage door or gate operation. Prevents mechanical bind, misaligned magnets, and false trigger alerts.
• Triple-Detection Capabilities:

1. Contact Switch: Detects precise opening and closing states.
2. Tilt Angle Sensor (G-Sensor): Measures inclination, perfect for detecting partially open or tilted sectional doors.
3. Lux / Light Sensor: Measures ambient brightness to trigger lighting automation or detect unauthorized entry in dark spaces.

• Sub-Second Response (Bluetooth 4.2 / BTHome): Immediate signal transmission to Shelly relays, alarm interfaces, or home automation hubs with virtually zero latency.
• 5-Year Battery Life: Low-maintenance setup powered by a standard CR2032 battery, minimizing call-backs and maintenance visits.
• Broad Ecosystem Compatibility: Natively compatible with the Shelly Smart Control App, local BTHome protocol, Home Assistant, and major smart home & security management systems.

Ideal Applications

• Garage Door Automation: Track exact open/closed/tilted status for sectional, tilt-up, or roll-up garage doors.
• Security & Alarm Integration: Wirelessly feed entry/exit status into smart security systems or trigger local sirens and lighting scenarios via Shelly Relays (e.g., Shelly Plus 1 / Gen3).
• Commercial Access & Gates: Ensure perimeter gates and industrial doors report accurate status despite wind flex or dynamic hinges.
