A secure feeling
Window status monitoring from MACO
Is my window open, tilted or closed? Or is a burglar trying to get in? The MACO wireless sensors always keep an eye on the situation - they monitor windows, doors and sliding elements, thus making a valuable contribution to security and comfort.
eTronic and mTronic deliver their full capability in combination with a smart home system. A quickly installed alarm system and automatic status messages (sent to your smartphone) are just as possible as heating control or automatic ventilation control.
The MACO family of wireless sensors thus impresses across the board.
Window status
Always keeping an eye on the essentials - open, closed, tilted?
Leave your house with a calm feeling. With the mTronic and eTronic wireless sensors and your smart home system, you are always informed about the current status of your windows, doors and sliding elements.
Burglary detection
Automatic burglary detection without activation
mTronic detects by the movement of the locking pin whether it is moved on purpose or jemmied by force, in both the locked and tilted position (depending on the installation position). This is unique!
... and much more
Full functional performance in a smart home system
Here are two examples, among many. Save real money with your wireless sensor by automatically deactivating the heating when windows are open. Or you can easily control, in combination with automatic hardware, your open sliding door whilst on the go.

Vigilant throughout the house, strong in combination
Home security and comfort should be particularly comprehensive, but while keeping the costs manageable. This is where it is recommended to combine the sensors MACO mTronic and MACO eTronic.
Install mTronic wherever burglars could have an easy time, especially with windows and doors on the ground floor - the sensors trigger an alarm in case something happens. And the cheaper eTronic? This suits all windows, but it is also used as a supplement to mTronic for example, upstairs or for smaller ventilation windows.
The MACO wireless sensors - a good security team.

MACO mTronic
Lateral lower installation position or any other position on the frame (Mode 3)
Window status detection: open, closed
MACO mTronic
Lower installation position (Mode 2)
Window status detection: open, locked, tilted; additional burglary detction in the locked and tilted position
MACO eTronic

Compatibility thanks to secure wireless standard
Compatibility thanks to secure wireless standard
The "Smart Building Components" from MACO use the energy-efficient and commonly used in the smart home sector, EnOcean wireless. They are thus compatible with many smart home systems.
Once mounted, the integration of the MACO wireless sensors into the smart home system is super simple:
- Activate
- Follow the installation instructions for the respective smart home system
Done!
Now, the wireless sensors can be used for example with smart heating, a rain sensor or an alarm system.
Further information on the EnOcean wireless standard (e.g. on safety and range) as well as application examples can be found on www.enocean-alliance.org
Wireless? It works!
Test device and test transmitter for MACO radio sensors
Does the wireless work? Is the signal quality right? Our test device determines the range and quality of the EnOcean signal for the mTronic and eTronic wireless sensors. This little helper thus makes it easier to select the gateway location or shows where a repeater is needed for a secure connection via EnOcean.
Included is a test transmitter with which all elements in a building can be tested for connectivity - before the sensors are installed. This saves trouble and unpleasant surprises. In addition, the test device can evaluate the status signals of the MACO sensors by displaying their datagram as a status signal. An extremely practical additional benefit for the quick analysis of all built-in wireless sensors.
Want to connect the MACO wireless world with your existing cabled world? No problem!
Flush mounted wireless actuator
Wireless and cabled. Cabled and wireless. Two worlds that cannot be connected with each other! Yes, for a long time this was the case. But now it's child's play with a wireless actuator, which is best elegantly hidden in a flush-mounted box. MACO eTronic and MACO mTronic can be used together with cabled sensors in a smart home.
Here's how it works - the sensor monitors the window status and reports it back to the wireless actuator. This receives the signal (from the sensor or sensors) and triggers an action. The actuator passes it on to the home control system via an opener and closer contact.
Afriso
Afriso offers the Afrisohome Gateway HG 01, as the foundation of building management, for controlling sensors and actuators. Events and messages are documented and, where applicable, are output as warning messages on mobile end devices. Like mTRONIC, the HG 01 is highly energy-efficient, as it is based on EnOcean wireless technology, and is best suited for smart home systems in the private sector or in apartment buildings.
Eltako
With the Eltako Tap-radio®, end users can easily and cost-effectively expand their home electrical installation or activate building security. The TF-IP-Con IV IP controller receives mTRONIC EnOcean signals, which are sent to socket actuators (indoor sirens, acoustic signal generators, etc.). With the addition of the wibutler pro home server and combined with the Eltako GFA2 wireless building app, the building can also be controlled via smartphone or tablet.
Homee
Combine the homee Brain Cube and EnOcean Cube and you’re all set. After a quick and easy set-up, homee networks with other components and controls all EnOcean components, such as sensors and actuators for building control and security.
Mediola
The mediola® AIO GATEWAY V5 Plus is a universal smart home control centre, which integrates the mTRONIC and other wireless components (e.g. EnOcean) into its NEO smart home concept. In terms of control, the AIO Creator NEO, a unique and versatile smart home software, can be used to put together one’s own fully customised smart home app.
