The open/close sensor detects when a door, window, hatch, cowling, or other separation point has been opened or closed. It integrates with BRNKL alerts, event recording, and automations.

Endpoints

Once paired, the open/close sensor exposes two endpoints in the Wireless device list, each configured independently:

  • Open/Close — digital state showing whether the sensor is open or closed. Use the High Name and Low Name fields to label the states (for example, Open and Closed).

  • Battery Level — analog reading reporting remaining battery percentage. Use the Lower Threshold to alert when the battery drops below a chosen level.
