SM-226L-3Q Seco-Larm Overhead Door Mount N.C. Magnetic Contact w/ 3 Wires for N.O./N.C. Applications (One Pack)

Good

Works on my DSC system without any problems.

Very well built. I used this to trigger indicator lights on our driveway gate. Both parts mounted to post and gate with no modifications necessary. The included bracket has plenty of mounting options. I was concerned at first that with the gate being steel if it would affect the magnet, it doesnt. Also, the switch does not have to be mounted as close as possible to the magnet, it will work when the components are about 2 inches apart. Had to mount them farther apart than expected and it still worked fine. The only recommendation I would make to the manufacturer is that the recessed areas to mount the switch be enlarged slightly. The recess is too small to get a socket on a hex head screw making it necessary to use Phillips screws.

replaced a 30 year old alarm switch on the garage. Its 1/2 the size and works well.

Great purchase.

Item as listed Worked great.

Worked great for our duckins (ducks and chickens) coop alert. Wired this in to a solar light such that the light is on at night when door is opened so we can see from the house if the coop door is still open before bed. Well made product and would be good for any outdoor reed switch application.

So, 5 stars for quality, but yikes, $20 for a magnet sensor, so 4 stars for value. Anyway, I bought a Nexx garage door wifi control which is just a repurposed $5 Sonoff control with a very cheap magnetic sensor for reporting door position, but it also has a fairly good app (so you pay for the app I guess). Read the reviews on the Nexx, a large number talk about it working and then not, becaue the position sensor stops reporting correctly. and thats because It needs an 1/8 gap on a garage door. On my wobbly old door youre never going to get that consistency; so Sentrol to the rescue with their 2 inch gap. This sensor is industrial quality. Buy a LeMotech ABS Plastic Dustproof Waterproof IP55 Junction Box, cut the cord on the cheap magnet, and splice it into the Sentrol inside this box. Two day shipping, problem solved. Oh, and use the black and green wires from the Sentrol for this application.

Installed and works perfectly. Mounting bracket for the magnet leaves lots of options. I moved the magnet on all three and trimmed the bracket on two. East to make work for my doors. I installed them on the top of the door with the contact on the overhead door opening.

Its a magnetic switch and it works. What more can I say about it. I am very pleased with it.
