    So I got one of these during the Black Friday sale and needed to set it up with my smart home obviously. I like the device it works fine, it's simply a contact and tilt sensor. BUT the setup was a nightmare! I COULDN'T GET IT TO PAIR!! I tried for like 45 min to get this thing to work on a Samsung SmartThings Hub. Again it's a good device, but that setup had to knock off a couple of stars it was so bad.

    In 1 week, it dropped 25% down to 75%. Although Smarttthings will detect all 3: open/close, vibration, temperature, Samsung only allows open/close to be detected by the Amazon Alexa skill. PRO: Sends alerts as real text, so other family members can be alerted without having the Alexa app installed on their iPhone.
