The energy-autonomous and wireless shutter monitoring system can be retrofitted simply and easily in the fittings groove of existing Schüco windows.

Schüco SensTrack wireless is an intelligent sensor that monitors the locking status of window systems. The wireless and battery-free lock monitoring system keeps track of whether the window is securely locked. The wireless sensor is powered by the movement of the hardware.

SensTrack wireless permanently and invisibly monitors the locking status of the window. The power for wireless communication with an EnOcean-capable smart home control unit is obtained from the movement of the hardware when locking and unlocking the window. At the same time, the wireless sensor can also be networked with other EnOcean-based devices to create new added value. For example, coupling with a heating thermostat can allow more comfort and energy efficiency.

The wireless creeper without cables or batteries can be connected directly to EnOcean-capable systems or to KNX systems using an additional external gateway.

No additional processing of the window profile is required for installation of the wireless sensor. It can be easily and quickly retrofitted into the frame groove of the window. The absence of an external power supply also makes the shutter monitoring system particularly sustainable and maintenance-free, as no batteries are required and therefore do not need to be replaced.

SensTrack can be installed and retrofitted directly for the Schüco AWS window systems with AvanTec SimplySmart and AvanTec fittings.
