The earliest electronic home security system was entirely made up of door sensors,
when someone opened a door or window.
It also triggered a big vibrating bell in a central part of the home.

How they work, how to use them, and how to design the best setup for your home.
HOW DOES A DOOR SENSOR WORK?
Almost all door and window sensors use a reed switch to determine when a protected area has been breached.
Reed switches were invented in Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1936, and are used in everything from pedal keyboards to laptops
A reed switch consists ofa set of electrical connectors placed slightly apart.
When a magnetic field is placed parallel to the electrical connectors, it pulls them together, closing the circuit.
Door sensors have one reed switch and one magnet, creating a closed circuit.
If someone opens an armed door or window, the magnet is pulled away from the switch, which breaks the circuit and triggers an event.
Depending on your setup and what mode your system is in, this could be a discreet text, a chime alert, or a full-blown alarm.
