Aeotec SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor - Zigbee - Door/Window & Temperature Sensor, Perfect with Aeotec Smart Home Hub

They're good but it may be more than I need.It has open/close and motion coordinates (x,y,z)....

It does what it is designed to do but be careful where you place it.I have 5 Multipurpose Sensor Door/Window Sensors throughout my house. Unfortunately, whenever we drive into or out of the garage, my garage window sensor picks up the vibration from our garage door open/close system. As a result, I have replaced the battery for this sensor numerous times this year; whereas, my other Multipurpose Sensor Door/Window sensors have not needed a new battery.It would be nice if the vibration sensor could be turned off but the application doesn't provide that capability. So I'll move this sensor out of the garage and over to another area with less vibrations; then I'll buy another sensor for the garage window that doesn't have a vibration feature.Otherwise, I'm a happy Aeotec/SmartThings user.

I’ve been using this with Home Assistant for a while now and it works exactly like it is supposed to. Installation was quick and easy and so was getting it into HA. I have these on the exterior doors and they are great little sensors.

I'd been wanting a window sensor for a while, to turn off the A/C if a window is opened. But all of the windows we're most likely to open are casement windows, with screens. I hesitated for a long time, unable to determine if any sensor would work for this use case. Based on another review that indicated this sensor works well with a large gap, I decided to give it a try. I am delighted to confirm that it works--at a right angle, and through a window screen.The first photo shows how I verified it would work before committing to the 3M adhesive; good old masking tape.

My first purchase of this device was for a dishwasher, with the intention of using both the humidity/temperature and the door sensors to determine if my "dumb" dishwasher had finished it's cycle. While the humidity/temperature didn't work as I hoped (neither changed noticeably during the cycle), the door sensor worked phenomenally, even though it wasn't perfect lined up.I've been adding door/window sensors around my house, and have gone through several other sensors at my front door, where there is an uneven gap between the door and the paneling around it. Another brand sort of worked - it had to sit sideways, and then it didn't have a good enough point to stick, so it fell off frequently (triggering false alarms on my Home Assistant automations that the door was open). Enter this device. You can see by the photo that it is not only some distance apart, but also not on the same physical plane. Doesn't matter. As you can see by the second photo, it's STILL showing as closed. Not only that, it's not awkwardly protruding at the door (the other that sorta worked tipped into the doors path occasionally) and it just WORKS.If you need a door/window sensor that can stretch across gaps, THIS is the only device you want to choose.

It paired flawlessly with Hubitat, though it's listed as a SmartThings brand device in Hubitat (Aeotec is the hardware manufacturer of all SmartThings brand devices). S2 (secure) mode and unsecure mode both worked, and status is reported quickly. It's on the front door which sees a lot of traffic, and the attery is barely worn downat all in the last month.The two halves don't need to be perfectly touching to detect closed state, which is helpful when your trim is slightly raised relative to the door itself.

Aeotec bought the patents to the hardware Samsung Smart Things used to manufacture, and though they haven't improved the tech, they've kept it exactly the same - which is really all it needed. These were - and still are - the best in class for multipurpose contact sensors. Don't mess around with any of the cheaper ones; you'll just end up replacing them in a year anyway. Buy it, set it up, and start relying on it like you want to!

Purchased six of these for my home automation needs. They all worked flawlessly...for a few months. Then one by one they started going quiet. I noticed the first one when my laundry room lights automation quit working. Turns out the door sensor had not reported anything for a couple of days, but the last reported battery percentage was 65%. I tried reconnecting the sensor but it would not connect. Bought a replacement, and it worked fine. Then a few weeks later another one did the same thing. Replaced it with a different brand sensor. Then I decided to dig into the rest of the sensors and found that two more had not reported for several days. All of them reporting good battery life at time of death. I love the idea of having several sensors in one, but it's useless if they won't stay connected. Sucks that I wasted $250 on these. Learn from my mistakes. Using the Aqara P2 matter sensors now. So far, so good with those.
