I was unable to get this to pair with my smart things hub. I had trouble pairing right out of the box. I next took of the cover off and also pressed the connect button but nothing would cause this to pair. I did get a flashing light and solid green light but nothing worked after multiple times I ended up taking back. I think the battery was dead, ultimately I think it had probably set on the shelf in the store for a while but I did not feel like taking back. It seems like a good product but I had no luck. Phillips is suppose to have a motion sensor later this fall.

Smart Things sensor

The sensor works well. It is small compared to other sensors. It uses a coin battery which costs a lot though. Like other sensors it doesn't detect someone walking towards it very well, it detects crossing it better.

Works as expected. SmartThings lets you adjust the temperature in the app to adjust for location. It would be nice if they had a way to adjust motion sensitivity so it doesn't pick up on EVERYTHING (it's sensitive like me).

These devices are easy to set up and my great to keep you in the know when you are away from home. Every home has more than one entrance, this was to cover the other one. Motion sensors take a bit longer to get recognized and tested but still under 5 minutes! Add to your system and then place the sensor where you want it. You can always rename it later.
