    Works as advertised. Used the old model where it worked for 2 years. Too early to say whether this will be better but again, works as advertised.

    The sensor worked every time I tested it open/close at the table. However it was inconsistent when I tried various positions on the garage overhead door. The adhesive failed after I tried several different placements. The set up instructions didn't indicate the setting (which I found after the fact) and the the need to indicate it would be used on a garage. I will need to buy some double-backed tape to try other orientations.

    These sensors are working well for my purposes. I have a few of them in key places in my home, including my garage door. I have found the built-in "garage door" function to not work so well, but no matter; I've mounted it such that the magnet is attached to the header and I can use it in a conventional manner to detect garage status. I like, too that these sensors also have temperature sensors in them, so I can keep tabs of how hot it gets in places like my garage without needing to put in another sensor.

    Used this device to automate the lights in the pantry. Setup and installation was super easy and now, the pantry lights comes on once the door is open and off when the door is closed. The device helped me to solve two issues, one, ensuring that the pantry lights are turned off when not being used and two, ensuring that the door is closed. Extremely happy with this purchase and highly recommend this without reservation.
