Wireless Sensors Monitor Gates And Doors
The Flex Aware system is a wireless outdoor contact sensor with a built-in cellular connection. “There’s nothing else like Flex Aware on the market,” says a company representative. “For the first time, farmers and ranchers can monitor their remote gates and equipment and get notifications every time they are accessed.”
All Aware aims to simplify remote or out-of-sight property management through innovative sensors managed through its mobile app. The Flex Aware sensor can reduce the risk of theft and vandalism at remote properties, giving you confidence that doors and gates are closed as required. It works for barns, sheds, mailboxes, perimeter gates, machine sheds, pasture gates, delivery boxes, pool gates, storage units, shipping containers and more.
“Traditional security systems aren’t a great option for farmers and ranchers,” explains the company representative. “Some folks use trail cams to monitor their gates, but they generally fail when sending relevant alerts. For example, some have motion detection but would alert you when anything moves. Maybe a cow walks by, a branch blows in the wind, or a playful calf triggers an alert. This creates ‘false alerts,’ which usually lead us to ignore all alerts.”
In this way, Flex Aware fills the gap in security systems to monitor spaces that might otherwise get missed. All Aware can also proactively notify you when your garage door was left open, someone unexpectedly opened your pool gate, or the mail was delivered. “It’s tamper-proof,” says the company representative. “You can receive notifications right on your mobile device via push notifications, SMS, or email, and you can share notifications with family and friends so they can get alerts, too.”
Flex Aware comes with a built-in SIM card. Immediately after purchase, you’ll share your zip code to determine whether Verizon or AT&T will be the more reliable network. The easy-to-install technology is fully wireless; no power or Wi-Fi is required. The IP56 rating ensures it’s built to withstand rain, snow, and extreme heat. It’s rated for temperatures from -40 F to 140 F. It’s backed by Alarm.com’s world-class technology, which offers customizable alerts and flexible protection.
Two Flex Aware versions are available. The standard version is perfect for sheds, latching pasture gates, or any other remote property that latches. In contrast, the Flex Aware Connected Cable is better suited for non-latching property points. Included within each box are multiple mounting options like screws, zip ties, and strong dual-lock tape. The sensor uses four 1.5V AA lithium batteries included in the box. The batteries have a 2-year life expectancy.
Both Flex Aware versions are currently offered for $12/month, including the hardware cost and the monthly cell service. Subscriptions can be canceled at any time without hidden fees. Each order includes a 30-day return policy.
“The ‘Flex’ in Flex Aware comes from its ability to be mounted anywhere,” explains the company representative. “There are no complicated wiring or pairing instructions. Just mount it and use it. It’s completely self-contained. Mount it to anything you can imagine with ease.”
