SecuSignal® shows the positions of windows and glass doors.

SecuSignal® provides a solution for central, wireless monitoring of window positions in a building. This saves, for example, time-consuming checking routines – an aspect that is especially attractive for large buildings, such as schools or government agencies.

Complete overview per radio

By connecting such information to automatic heat regulations or shutter controls in building automation systems, SecuSignal® can also help save energy or increase security.

A SecuSignal® system consists of SecuSignal® window handles with self-powered, maintenance-free wireless transmitters based on EnOcean technology and an EnOcean receiver unit that will process the transmitted information. Replacing an old handle with a new SecuSignal® one is only a matter of minutes.

Remote monitoring via smart phone

Once the teach-in process has been completed, the wireless transmitter will communicate the handle’s position upon turning – i. e. the position of the window or glass door – to the receiver unit as well as to any connected devices, such as tablets and smart phones. This way, windows and glass doors can be monitored even from remote locations.

Like all HOPPE brand-name door and window hardware, SecuSignal® handles are high-quality products made in Europe.
