    Love this as with all the other samsung smart things. Its great for setting automations. I have it set for when I leave it shuts my house down and automatically turns security devices on. I have habit of forgetting and this takes the worry out if I shut stuff off or on.

    This device works well, when it is working. The smart hub paired with the Alexa system seems to have too many bugs to be reliable on a daily basis.

    Love this sensor as it can alert me when someone comes home, or leaves. Helps me to know when family is home safe. I have experienced one problem. My husband left his sensor in his truck, the temp outside was 110, and I was getting notifications that he came, then left, when in reality, he was right beside me. Other than that, an awesome product.

    Horrible. Battery sent with product went to 15% in 2 days. Put in fresh battery and the sensor are constantly reporting misinformation and or not responding. I have reset them 10 times each. These have been sadly unreliable and worthless for me. I cannot return because packaging was discarded

    I purchased these as a means of maintaining use of my Smartthings security to give to roommates who had no interest in smart home tech. However, the battery pops out so easily and so frequently, the utility of the product is completely negated.

    I purchased this to leave in my car to monitor when the car comes and goes. I also had it set up through smartthings to open my garage when I would arrive at home. It worked 1 time. Another time, because of my set up, it just randomly opened my garage door in the middle of the night. Ultimately, it just froze and always said I was home. I ended up returning it. They idea is great, but it just didn't work for me.
