Door Window Sensors XHS2-TY , XHS2-UE Home Comcast Xfinity Security MCT-350

4.1 288 reviews · $10.25

It's a sensor made for Comcast's Xfinity Home alarm system, resold by a third party with no description at all.

Why we'd skip it

  • The listing has no bullets, no specs, and no compatibility information.
  • It's built for the Xfinity Home security system, not for general smart home hubs.
  • It's sold by a third-party reseller, so there's no telling what condition it's in or what support you'd get.
  • For about the same price, the Haozee and SONOFF sensors above are new, current models with real listings.
See the listing on Amazon (so you recognize it)

Buyer's guide

How do door and window sensors work?

A magnet goes on the door or window and the sensor goes on the frame. When the two separate, the sensor reports open. Mount them within the gap the listing specifies, usually under an inch.

How long do the batteries last?

Most battery sensors on these lists are rated for one to three years, depending on how often they report. Low-power radios like Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Thread last much longer than Wi-Fi.

Can I use these as a security system?

They can trigger alerts and sirens through your smart home system, but they aren't a monitored alarm. For insurance discounts or police dispatch you need a professionally monitored system.
