TECKNET TK-WA801 review

A pack of six standalone door and window alarms that TECKNET states trigger when the two halves separate by more than 2 cm (0.8 in), with three volume levels and three modes, mounted with the supplied adhesive pads.

The conclusion Six alarms that publish their trigger gap, 2 cm. Clean the frame properly and it stays where you put it.

This listing sells six contact alarms, not one. And TECKNET prints what is worth knowing about each: the gap at which it triggers.

Two centimeters

The gap at which it triggers. That single figure decides whether the sensor suits a door, and in this hub only the Sone and the SONOFF publish it too.

Two centimeters is generous, which is good on a window that closes onto a deep recess and less good on a sliding patio door — where somebody can open a 15 mm (0.59 in) gap and reach through before the alarm decides anything has happened. Match the figure to the opening.

The adhesive, the part to get right

The pads need care. Applied to a cold, dusty vinyl frame in December, they may let go, and the sensor ends up on the floor.

Clean the surface with alcohol, apply above 10 °C (50 °F), press hard for thirty seconds, and leave it a day before testing. That is the whole installation.

Three volumes

Which is what makes the same unit suitable for a bedroom window and a shed door. A device that can only be deafening is a device that gets removed from half the places it should be.

What the listing adds

TECKNET states a mini format that fits in a bag, batteries to replace when the alarm stops responding, and a 36-month warranty for registered users. When fitting, the sensor must sit no more than 2 cm (0.8 in) from the arrowed side of the alarm.

Who it suits

Six openings — the pack holds six —, a local noise, and an owner who will clean the frame first.

Availability

Listed but with no offer on the American Amazon store — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.

Prices and availability are what Keepa reported on the date this page was updated; both move.

What reassures, and what does not

Strengths

  • Trigger gap published: 2 cm (0.8 in), like the SONOFF (20 mm) and the Sone (7 mm) in this hub
  • Three volume levels, so it suits a bedroom as well as a shed
  • Six alarms in the pack, one per opening
  • Adhesive mounting, no drilling

Compromises

  • Standalone: no notification, no log
  • The adhesive holds poorly on a cold or dirty frame
  • Batteries with no low-battery warning stated
  • A 2 cm (0.8 in) gap is generous — it triggers late on a sliding door

The questions we are asked

Why is the published trigger gap useful?

Because it is the specification that decides whether the sensor works on your window, and in this hub only the Sone (7 mm) and the SONOFF (20 mm) state it too. Two centimeters is generous — good on a window that closes tightly, less good on a sliding door where somebody can open a 15 mm (0.59 in) gap and reach through without triggering it.

Will the adhesive hold?

On a clean, dry, warm frame, yes. On a cold vinyl frame in December, applied without cleaning, it may come off. Clean with alcohol, apply above 10 °C (50 °F), and press for thirty seconds.

Three modes for what?

TECKNET names them: alarm, a siren until the two halves meet again; chime, a short tone; and off. That lets the same unit announce a door during the day and defend it at night. It is the same dual use as the standalone motion alarms here, and it is what keeps the device in service rather than armed and forgotten.

Our score

8.1/ 10

Six alarms that publish their trigger gap, 2 cm. Clean the frame properly and it stays where you put it.
