Honeywell’s Latest Collaboration Creates ‘Smarter’ Windows and Doors
Honeywell , Melville, N.Y. and Andersen Corporation are collaborating to provide a system that allows security alarms to alert homeowners if their windows or doors are unlocked. The VeriLock™ sensor technology embeds Honeywell’s 5800 series of wireless sensors inside the locking mechanisms of a select group of windows and patio doors manufactured by Eagle Window & Door Manufacturing Inc., a subsidiary of Andersen Corporation.
Similar technology can only detect if a window or door is open or closed. VeriLock sensors can detect whether they are actually locked or unlocked, in addition to open or closed.
