Description

The Honeywell 5899B is a small magnet for a Honeywell wireless door and window sensor. The 5899B magnet is similar to the Honeywell 5899 magnet but it is slightly smaller and has rounded edges. The Honeywell 5899 works well with the Honeywell 5816 wireless door and window contact, while the 5899B works well with the Honeywell 5815 and 5820L wireless door and window contacts.

The Honeywell 5899 magnet is available in white and brown because the 5816 wireless door and window contact is available in white and brown. However, as the Honeywell 5815 aesthetic wireless contact and the 5820L slim line door contact are both only available in white, the 5899B magnet is only available in white. The 5899B is a great choice for people that don’t want their Honeywell wireless security system to detract from their home’s decor. The 5815 and 5820L wireless door and window contacts are designed for that very same purpose. Unlike the bigger 5816 contact which has sharper edges, the 5815 and 5820L contacts have a smaller profile with nicer looking rounded edges. The 5899B magnet matches the style of the 5815 and 5820L contacts and also has the smaller size and rounded edges. You may want to consider the 5899B magnet when looking for a replacement magnet for the Honeywell 5814 wireless small door and window contact as well. The main feature of the 5814 wireless contact is that it is very small, so the 5899B magnet is a good choice to match the style of the 5814 contact.

The 5899B magnet is not only a good option when you need to replace a broken or missing magnet, but it is also useful when venting your windows. Venting a window entails adding a second magnet to a window that is already protected by a Honeywell wireless window contact. You need to add a second magnet when venting, so the 5899B is a better choice than the 5899 since it is smaller and less obtrusive. To vent the window, you simply install the 5899B magnet 6” above the original magnet for the wireless window contact that is protecting your window. You will also need to move the wireless window contact up 6” so that it is in line with the 5899B magnet. With this setup, your window will be protected when it is closed and when it is slightly open. Venting is useful when you want to allow some airflow into your home while still protecting your family from intrusion. You will be able to arm your Honeywell wireless security system while the window is vented, as the wireless window contact will be in line with the second 5899B magnet and therefore the zone will not be in fault.

The Honeywell 5899B is a small replacement magnet for a door and window contact sensor. Being a Honeywell product, it is specifically designed for use with sensors like the Honeywell 5816, the Honeywell 5800MINI, the Honeywell SiXCT, and the Honeywell SiXMINICT. But really, you shouldn't have trouble using the magnet with any standard surface-mounted door and window sensor. The magnet is typically installed on a door or window frame, and it can be mounted using screws or using double-sided foam tape. This is a simple, yet effective magnet that serves its intended purpose quite well. We give the Honeywell 5899B a 5-Star rating.

There are many things to like about the Honeywell 5899B. For one, it is a smaller magnet, making it great for use with smaller door and window sensors. The compact design helps make it less noticeable when mounted on a door or window frame. We also like the fact that the magnet is versatile and able to be used with nearly any surface-mounted door and window sensor. The rounded edges for the Honeywell 5899B are also a nice touch, as they give the sensor a more futuristic and modern appearance.

There are not many downsides for the Honeywell 5899B. Some users are disappointed by the fact that the Honeywell 5899B is only available in a White color option. Users with a different colored contact sensor, such as a black or brown contact may not like the fact that the 5899B doesn't match. And the fact that this is a smaller magnet may make it difficult to use with larger contact sensors. You can try your best to align it, but you may encounter performance issues if you want to use the Honeywell 5899B to replace a larger magnet. But really, these downsides are relatively minor, and they do not stop us from giving the Honeywell 5899B a 5-Star rating.

Good: Compact Design, Versatile, Rounded Edges

Bad: Only in White, Difficult to Use w/ Large Contacts

Bottom Line: 5 Stars

Yes, the smaller 5899B will work with the 5816.
Will the smaller 5899B magnet work with the standard 5816 sensor? We replaced windows and the 5899 is too wide to let our new windows open.
Thank you. Have a nice and a blessed day. God Bless You!!
Yes, in fact, nearly any magnet should work with the 5811 sensors.
Will Honeywell 5899B magnets work with wireless door/window 5811 sensors?
