    Using with my Smartthings v2 hub. It paired right away and the app is now giving me notifications of when my front door is open or closed.

    I purchased this to use with a Samsung SmartThings hub. I use it as a position sensor on my garage, and not as a contact sensor. It works well, but the setup process was a bit cumbersome.

    This sensor works very well. I use it to detect when a door in my house is open. It has a very fast detection time.

    Works great when it doesn’t get disconnected but sometimes it’s frustrating when it’s disconnected for a long time.

    They work as expected. I do not have issues with them losing connection and I live in a pretty big two-story house.

    Thought it might beep or make a noise...doesn't do that. Still sends a notification to the phone which is good. Only too many notifications depending on the day and settings.

    These devices have a tendency to just disconnect from your hub. When they work, they work great, but they have faults.
