Avia, the smart home security brand from Mighton Products, announced the U.S. launch of the Avia Smart Sash Fastener, a smart sash fastener designed specifically for traditional vertical sliding windows. With native integration into Apple Home, the fastener sends real-time status updates to iPhones, iPads or Apple Watches, letting users know if their window is open or closed.
Product features
The Avia Smart Sash Fastener is a fully functioning locking mechanism. It retrofits into existing sash windows, replacing the handle to combine physical security with smart monitoring. It is also available in a heritage-style design available in five finishes. In the U.S., sash windows are often referred to as “hung windows."
Key features of the Avia Smart Sash Fastener:
- Sends alerts to Apple devices when sash window is opened or closed
- Use Siri to check window status anytime
- Easy retrofitting—replaces existing sash fastener, no special tools required and can be ordered through window supplier to be fitted into new windows as well
- Includes two keeps (6.5 millimeters & 12mm) for wider compatibility
- Finishes: Satin Chrome, Polished Chrome, Gold, Black, and White
- Bluetooth LE technology with LED pairing and use indicator
- Battery included (CR2450 coin cell), over one year of battery life in normal use
Designed for homeowners who want smart control without compromising style, the fastener integrates seamlessly with Apple Home Automation. When the window is closed and locked, the app displays “Closed”; if it’s unlocked or open, it shows as “Open.”
What company leadership says
“We wanted to create something that feels timeless in design but completely modern in function,” says Mike Derham, Chairman at Mighton Products. “The Smart Sash Fastener provides both reassurance and convenience for anyone with sash windows, whether they’re at home or away.”
