Samsung SmartThings Motion Sensor

Product Information

that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); Almost all Home automation sensors in the price range that most smartthings customers are looking for have a built in “cool down“ period After motion is initially detected during which any other movement is ignored. This cooldown period Is most commonly set at three minutes. The reason is primarily to extend the battery life by limiting the number of extra notifications sent to the hub. So that’s what usually causes this issue. HTTP Window Shade / Blind / Curtain - Perform HTTP GET / POST request for shade/blinds OPEN/CLOSE/PAUSE command to HTTP Endpoints For each sensor I follow the process of holding down the pairing button for 5 seconds until I see the 3 blinks. I then press the reset button on a 1 second cadence always ending it before the scanning cycle completes. (No proof currently but again my perception of this is over a few different deployments is that ending before the scan cycle works the best) If your device is currently using the Tasmota (Connect) Groovy SmartApp/Driver, you MUST remove the device from Tasmota (Connect), and then add it using Tasmota Edge.

I’m really wondering why Smartthings would have mass market takeup when I have so many failures and also it is not plug and play. Ensure your mobile phone is connected to the WIFI network and the sensor is as close to the Zigbee Smart Gateway as possible Tasmota Edge is free for all of up to 5 Tasmota /HTTP devices. It includes all features and future updates. There are motion sensors that allow you to change the length of the cooldown period, even down to just a second or two, but doing so will significantly reduce the battery life. So it just depends on what your use case is.The fact that there has been no warning… battery always reports 100% even when dead and I have replaced with a new one. If that is also rubbish I’m going to try the Elgato Eve stuff. The tech may be Bluetooth, but for goodness sake I just want the sensors to work… or at least report that they may not in the case of battery drain. Create virtual devices to control other devices on your local area network (LAN) via HTTP GET & POST requests to the specified HTTP endpoint destination.

For this reason, it will generally be a good idea to do a “Zigbee heal“ after all the devices are in their correct locations. That way each device will know its real neighbors.

If you can wait a few months, once matter is fully deployed, aqara is going to offer some of their hubs as “matter bridges” and at that point you should be able to add the aqara sensors to their own hub and then bring that hub into the smartthings app. No custom code required. Just as people using Apple HomeKit can bring the aqara hub into the Apple home app today. (But adding to HomeKit doesn’t give you smartthings integration. I’m just mentioning it as an example of how the future matter integration should work.) In this article, I’ll take a look at some of the best Philips Hue compatible motion sensors to automate both your indoor and outdoor lights. The Top Hue Sensors and Alternatives Welcome to my exploration into the captivating world of motion sensors, the silent workhorse behind your automated lighting systems. As a seasoned user of Philips Hue lights and sensors, my passion for smart home technology has led me to experiment with some other popular motion sensor brands, including LIFX, Sengled, SmartThings, and Zwave, to name a few. Of course, it never hurts to go with mobile options like the Centralite Micro Motion Sensor that falls on the smaller side of things or an in-wall option like the GE Z-Wave Plus Wireless Smart Sensor.

Virtual Window Shade / Blind / Curtain - Send IR or RF control code via an IR or RF Bridge to control an IR / RF Window Shade/Blinds Although there are some variations in the exact devices and options available, this basic “If A, then B” setup is available with everything from HomeKit to echo plus. If the closet door opens AND it is before 9 pm OR the mode is “baby sleeping” turn on the closet light ( to keep from waking the baby up )Motion sensors are the secret sauce of energy-efficient smart lighting. It’s not just about asking Alexa to dim the lights but about using Hue-compatible motion sensors to optimize energy consumption—a smart devices field predicted by Statistica to grow exponentially through 2030. There are many low-cost, automation systems that can perform basic rules of the “if A, then B” format.
