Keep your home under control with this Samsung SmartThings motion sensor. It sends an alert to your smartphone via the SmartThings app when it detects unexpected movement, and the thermostat trigger feature lets you program it to adjust the temperature based on occupancy. The 131-foot range of this Samsung SmartThings motion sensor accommodates a wide variety of floor plans.
Q: Does this device work with IFTTT? (Without a hub)
A: No, this sensor requires some hub. I would recommend the Samsung hub. Right now it’s $69. Once you have that you can do just about anything. I have mine controlling lights, garage doors, front door locks, and motion sensors. It’s a lot of fun to say “Alexa Goodnight”. and ave it close the garage door, lock the front door, and dim all the lights to night mode. Enjoy!
A: I have this new unit and the older unit. The new (current) version takes 1 x CR2 battery which is actually sold in retail stores like Best Buy. For the older unit, I had to order replacement CR2477 batteries online through Amazon.
Q: Does this work with Alexa or do I also need to get a hub
A: Works with Alexa but you need the hub.
Q: We have a small cat . . . will her movement around home trigger this device?
A: Unlikely but I guess it would depend on how if the cat was moving in its range . We have a small dog and it doesn't trigger the device.
Q: I'm not able to find these motion sensors anywhere. Is there a shortage?
A: It appears to be discontinued. I'm looking for a suitable replacement. This thing has motion and temp. Pretty useful. The alternatives are cheaper, but motion only.
Q: will this work with a system like adt or comcast
A: undefined
A: You need to connect it to samsung hub and the hub will do the 5g
Q: Does it save a file? Trying to bust my maintenance man in my apartment when he shouldn't be
A: Through the Samsung Smart Thing App you can have it send you a text message when it detects motion. A Wi-Fi motion activated camera would be better for video proof.
