If the sensor handle detects that the window is being opened or tilted, then that event is detected by the corresponding sensor (s) of the sensor handle, and a corresponding signal is sent to the controller. The control device receives this signal and, for example, turns off the power supply to the air conditioner connected to the control device when the opening or tilting of the window is detected.
