The Baybot OpenAlert is a compact device that can be connected to an assortment of door types and windows. It is a battery-operated device and being cloud-connected, it provides 24-hour, real-time monitoring of doors of different hues at any time. It sends alerts to the owner each time the status of the door changes (open or closed). The Baybot Open Alert can be connected to the Baybot smartphone app and voice assistant functionality is also available with the device. The supported voice assistants include Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and IFTTT.Baybot OpenAlert Smart Wireless Door Monitor

The utility of the Baybot OpenAlert seems fuzzy, as a notification that the door’s status has changed does not offer any security as it were. Whether the device can interface with other smart home security gadgets that could pinpoint who opened the door is not clear at this time. The Baybot OpenAlert is available via the Baybot India official website and Flipkart for Rs. 1,399 (~$18), which is a pretty affordable price.
