    Have been a long time smartthings user. Purchased ST to upgrade from some older devices. Unit would not consistently stay connected. ST sent me replacement....same story. Researched new products and purchased Zooz 4 in 1 and Monoprice 4 in 1 instead. Both superb products that provide more capability for same/slightly less cost.

    I installed 2 of these motion detectors in my kitchen and found their range to be adequate but not impressive, about 10 feet. After a month they both started missing movement when I walked by (within 4 feet). I checked their battery levels, both at 90%. I cleaned the sensor cover but nothing restored them to their initial sensitivity. I will not buy these for other areas of my house.

    The 15 foot proximity requirement to the requisite hub was problematic for me and did not really suit my needs

    My only real problem with this sensor is its price compared to others on the market.

    The one star review is mostly due to the replaceable battery. It is a very odd and difficult to find item and you will certainly need one within a year or so in heavy traffic areas.

    Sad...Samsung put out a new version that was worse than the prior. This one has less range when detecting motion and is physically bigger than the prior model.

    Initial setup was clunky which is surprising. Then it does not geolocate to disable when in proximity. Very odd since the hub does.
