The Aeon Labs Recessed Door Sensor lets you know if the door is open or closed. At around 17 millimeters in width, some might call it small and compact. We prefer to call it invisible. It’s the Z-Wave door sensor that’s been designed as the door sensor should have always been. For a start it doesn't change your home’s aesthetic. It’s not plastic stuck on a door. Instead it’s a clever piece of technology that installs simply within your door’s frame.
Thanks, done it :)

Rep - does this work with sliding as well as regular opening doors? Also wondering how it's powered.
CR2 battery. It would work with sliding doors as long as you can drill a hole in the door and the frame to insert each end into. The same with normal doors.
From the item page it takes a CR2 battery which lasts for years and it's designed for timber frames but you could adapt it to sliding door operation.
It is powered by lithium cell CR2 battery, which should last around a year.
You will need to drill two holes. Both 19mm in width and one which is 65mm and the other 15mm deep. These holes are on either side of the door and have to line up with each other so they can detect if the door is open or closed.
If you can do this, then it will work.
so many battery operated gadgets…so few eneloops
Eneloops won't help you here.
I think that's what he meant.

The page says 2 years for the battery, and your description above says 10mm for the width.
I had around 10mm. I changed it now.
The 19mm is for the drill.
It is 1 year, changed it on the site.
what tools and level of expertise would the average joe need to drill two large holes in their doors. Especially if they're solid wood or steel?
You would need a drill, hammer could help to tap it in, screw drivers and some glue to make it stay in. An above average handy Joe would be able to install it.
Our doors squeek - we know when they are being opened/closed, and don't need to replace batteries. ;-)
We can add in some free WD-40 to stop the squeaks if you want :)
Is this to detect ant movement?
Just to let you know if the door is open or closed. So could be used to let you know if the door is open.
Use the motion sensor to do that.
We had one last week on those. Just didn't post it up here.
Okay, next Monday we will do a deal on them again just for you. Else you can contact us through the site and try work something out.
Great - looking foward to seeing what you can do these for!
Will do a good one just for you ;)
This one looks the same for US$53.81 Delivered - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2GIG-DW20R-Wireless-Recessed-Door…
It's about the same price after converting to AU, so not really a bargain.
Call me a tightarse but I think I would rather pay $1.19 - $1.50 price range and get one that sticks on the door like these - http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=Do…
The ones we are selling are a lot different. Ours are Z-Wave which is a home automation protocol. So it can talk to you home automation controller and be used in scenes as triggers…
If you can find the AU/NZ version of that sensor (different countries use different frequencies) for a cheaper price, we will take it down.
The ebay one - 345 MHz
Z-Wave (in AU) - 921.42 MHz
How do you remotely monitor a <$1.50 one? :)
