Way cheaper than a guard dog who can use an iPhone, this project will show you how you can use an Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller board with a door sensor to email/tweet/text you when your door has opened! #MakeItMinute
Using IFTTT with Adafruit IO to Make an IoT Door Detector Learn Guide
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I built a door detector when I was about 12. When someone opened the door, all windows were minimised. I think that is the killer application for adolescent teens that still live with their parents…
At these days muting the sound is also a good idea.
