How do I purchase a LuxSense product?

At LuxSense, we simply 'Make Sense.' We believe there are small yet significant moments in life that many of us would like to be notified about, and we feel the technology that makes this possible should be wrapped in the most beautiful packaging. That's why we integrate our innovations into the finest, artisan-crafted wood boxes available—often one-of-a-kind and always stunning.

Begin your LuxSense experience by selecting a box that resonates with
you, one that you would love to see adorning your home. If you have a
specific vision in mind, please reach out to us. Our artisan partners
are eager to bring your unique ideas to life.

Select the sensor package that best meets your notification needs. Each option is designed to cater to specific scenarios:

  1. PIR Motion Sensor: Ideal for detecting general and wide-range activity within most rooms.
  2. Ultrasonic Sensor: Best for monitoring specific presence within about 4 feet of the device, perfect for close-range detection.
  3. Light/Dark Sensor: Receive alerts when light intensity falls below or rises above your predetermined settings.
  4. Fireplace Active Sensor: Uses an infrared detector to recognize flames. For optimal results, position it within 18 inches of the fireplace.
  5. Driveway Notification: Integrates our technology with the Dakota Alert Magnetic system to minimize false alarms and provide reliable driveway monitoring. Note: You will need to mount the Dakota equipment along your driveway; all necessary hardware is included.
  6. Air Quality Sensor: Alerts you if carbon monoxide (CO) levels reach dangerous thresholds or if volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are detected.
  7. Temperature/Humidity Sensors: Allows you to set thresholds that trigger notifications based on environmental changes.

Each sensor is housed in one of our beautifully crafted, artisan wood boxes, combining functionality with elegance.

Every LuxSense product includes 90 days of complimentary service and
support. Beyond this period, you can choose from a variety of service
plans tailored to meet your specific needs, ensuring continuous
protection and assistance.

If you don’t find the wooden box or sensor package of your dreams on our
site, please contact us immediately. We are committed to ensuring your
LuxSense experience is exceptional from the very beginning and are eager
to customize a solution that perfectly fits your needs.

Great question.  We have found that there is usually technology

Well sort of -- this is it. Only the LuxSense circuit boards, sensor, and software are warrantied to work for 1 year from purchase. The artisan enclosure and other technologies (if present) are not.
