Abstract: A device of detecting a door/window status includes a signal generating unit and a signal sensing module. The signal generating unit is disposed beside a door/window to generate a position signal. The signal sensing module is disposed opposite the signal generating unit and includes a three-axis accelerometer, a three-axis magnetic force gauge and a microcontroller. The microcontroller reads the position signal generated from the signal generating unit and detection signals generated from the three-axis accelerometer and the three-axis magnetic force gauge while the door/window is operating to thereby determine the position and status of the door/window, thereby enhancing home safety. A method of detecting the door/window status with the device is further introduced.
