System and apparatus for sensing and providing alerts for deadbolt lock status

A deadbolt lock status sensing assembly for monitoring status of a deadbolt member of a deadbolt assembly on a door, the deadbolt assembly being of the type having a deadbolt actuation mechanism configured to move the deadbolt member between the extended and retracted conditions, the status sensing assembly comprising:

• a sensible element mountable on one of the door and the deadbolt assembly, the sensible element being magnetically active;
• a sensing element mountable on one of the door and the deadbolt assembly;
• wherein the sensible element and the sensing element are configured to move with respect to each other when the deadbolt member of the deadbolt assembly moves between an extended condition and a retracted condition of the deadbolt;
• and
• wherein the sensible element is configured to have a fixed position with respect to the door, the sensing element being configured to be movably mounted on the door such that the sensing element is configured to be moved by the deadbolt actuation mechanism as the deadbolt actuation mechanism moves the deadbolt member between the extended and retracted conditions.
