Homekit Weekly: Onvis’s Threadenabled Homekit Door Sensor Unlocks Multiple Automations

Onvis has recently updated its door/window contact sensor, the CT3, to incorporate Thread technology. This contact sensor is designed to keep users informed of when doors and windows open and close as well as trigger automations, making it a powerful add-on to existing alarm systems. HomeKit Weekly is a series focused on smart home accessories, automation tips and tricks, and everything to do with Apple’s smart home framework. Automations can be created to turn on lights when doors or windows are opened, which can be especially helpful when coming home after dark.
