These are amazing.
My first purchase of this device was for a dishwasher, with the intention of using both the humidity/temperature and the door sensors to determine if my “dumb” dishwasher had finished it’s cycle. While the humidity/temperature didn’t work as I hoped (neither changed noticeably during the cycle), the door sensor worked phenomenally, even though it wasn’t perfect lined up.I’ve been adding door/window sensors around my house, and have gone through several other sensors at my front door, where there is an uneven gap between the door and the paneling around it. Another brand sort of worked – it had to sit sideways, and then it didn’t have a good enough point to stick, so it fell off frequently (triggering false alarms on my Home Assistant automations that the door was open). Enter this device. You can see by the photo that it is not only some distance apart, but also not on the same physical plane. Doesn’t matter. As you can see by the second photo, it’s STILL showing as closed. Not only that, it’s not awkwardly protruding at the door (the other that sorta worked tipped into the doors path occasionally) and it just WORKS.If you need a door/window sensor that can stretch across gaps, THIS is the only device you want to choose.

Very easy to attach and pair
It paired flawlessly with Hubitat, though it’s listed as a SmartThings brand device in Hubitat (Aeotec is the hardware manufacturer of all SmartThings brand devices). S2 (secure) mode and unsecure mode both worked, and status is reported quickly. It’s on the front door which sees a lot of traffic, and the attery is barely worn downat all in the last month.The two halves don’t need to be perfectly touching to detect closed state, which is helpful when your trim is slightly raised relative to the door itself.

Most reliable door sensor
I have been using the smart things hub for about 5 years and have slowly added more devices. I purchased this sensor when it was sold by Samsung, and have had a mostly positive experience with them. I use them as garage door sensors, door sensors and binfold door sensors. I like that they are flexible and also have a temperature sensor. Of the 10 or so I have, none have failed. I have had an issue here and there with connectivity, but doing a reset and re adding the sensor has always fixed it. Sometimes just replacing the battery does the trick.Battery life is ok. I replace the batteries about once every 6 months. They use cr2450 coin batteries which are easy to find on Amazon for a reasonable price. I have had good luck with the LiCB brand. The can be found for $7-8 for a 10 pack. Using this sensor for all my doors allows me to only have to buy the one battery type. Most other sensors use a different battery, some of which are significantly more expensive like cr2 batteries.These sensors are not perfect, but are the best I’ve used.

Great sensor for automation
Great sensor for automation with SmartThings. You can use it to sense vibration, so when someone is knocking on the door you can be alerted. Easy to setup and use with Home Assistant and SmartThings. Battery life is not so good, after 3 months it is at 50% battery life.

Works with screened casement window
I’d been wanting a window sensor for a while, to turn off the A/C if a window is opened. But all of the windows we’re most likely to open are casement windows, with screens. I hesitated for a long time, unable to determine if any sensor would work for this use case. Based on another review that indicated this sensor works well with a large gap, I decided to give it a try. I am delighted to confirm that it works–at a right angle, and through a window screen.The first photo shows how I verified it would work before committing to the 3M adhesive; good old masking tape.

Great Sensor
Does a great job of detecting if my door is open or not and alerts me promptly and the fact it also senses vibration and temperature comes in handy in a big way. Definitely recommend

Works well
Use these with Hubitat. Work well. Battery life is iffy, but they perform well on my Zigbee mesh.

Great Garage Door Senso
Super easy to add to my SmartThings hub – just remember after you add it to hit the 3 dots in the upper right corner, select Settings and then toggle Use On Garage Door. You will see the app then displays open or closed as there first readout on the list. When placing on the garage door the magnet side needs to be facing right or left NOT up/down. Then you can make a routine to inform you of the garage is open at a time you don’t want. So easy

Los dispositivos de baterías no repiten la señal, deberían ser más claros en eso
