1. A door monitoring sensor, comprising:
a communication interface to transmit a communication when a door operates outside of operational parameters that are unique to the door;
at least one sensor to detect various movements of the door;
a power supply to provide power to the at least one sensor, wherein a housing of the door monitoring sensor comprises contacts that electrically connect to contacts of a power source when the door is in a desired position; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the communication interface and the at least one sensor, wherein the processor is to:
determine that the door is moving outside of the operational parameters of the door; and
send a notification by the communication interface to a central monitoring system in response to a determination that the door is moving outside of the operational parameters that are unique to the door.
