    Hubs make sense for loads of sensors but committing to samsung over another brand is a big decision.

    Have been a user of Smartthings hub since 2013 in my WNY home. 38 different products linked to this hub. Purchased a florida home and a new 3rd generation hub. Have had nothing but problems maintaining a WiFi connection. Would not recommend this product. Bought this just before Covid, I’ll have to eat the money spent. Just put in an order from Best Buy for a 2nd generation Hub. Will stay in touch.

    I installed this in one of my doors, after which I tried to program Alexa to speak once the door opens. I did not get any response from Alexa at all. Between Alexa and this sensor, I dont know which one has a problem. I'm so disappointed.

    A lot smaller than I thought it would be. Easy to hide, and set up was a breeze for integration into Samsung's system. Highly recommend these when they pop on sale!
