Convert Window/Door Sensor to Handle Sensor

August 10th, 2019October 15th, 2019 Hauke3D printing

In order to prevent my venetian window blinds to go down on timer in front of my open window-style terrace door, potentially locking me out, I needed to know if the door handle was in the “open” position. However, I did not want to use a battery powered radio sensor, but the existing door open/close magnetic sensor in the door frame. Here’s my solution.
