(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) New device alerts Apple users when sash windows are opened or closed, combining heritage style with smart security

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avia , the smart home security brand from Mighton Products, today announced the U.S. launch of the Avia Smart Sash Fastener, the world's first smart sash fastener designed specifically for traditional vertical sliding windows. With native integration into Apple Home, the patented fastener sends real-time status updates to your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, letting users know if their window is open or closed.

Unlike basic window sensors, 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, all with a sleek, heritage-style design available in five finishes. In the U.S., sash windows are often referred to as“hung windows,” making the fastener an ideal solution for millions of American homes.

“We wanted to create something that feels timeless in design but completely modern in function,” said 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.”

Key Features of the Avia Smart Sash Fastener:

• Sends alerts to your Apple devices when your 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 your window supplier to be fitted into new windows as well
• Includes two keeps & 12mm) for wider compatibility
• Elegant 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.”
