Normally-Open Magnetic Door Reed Switch

A normally-open magnetic reed switch that closes near its magnet for Pi Door Monitor.

Description

This two-part magnetic door sensor contains a normally-open reed switch, matching the Meow Meow Scratch Pi Door Monitor project.

Project compatibility

  • The switch closes when the magnet is brought within roughly 10mm.
  • Connect one switch lead to GPIO18 and the other to ground.
  • The project enables the Raspberry Pi’s internal pull-up, so the input reads high when the door is open and low when closed.
  • The passive switch is non-polarised and does not apply an external voltage to GPIO.

Merchant SKU: CE09248. Wired switch and matching magnet included.
