Samsung SmartThings GP-U999SJVLAAA Door & Window Multipurpose Sensor, White
September 30, 2018 - Comment
The sleek multipurpose sensor detects open/close, vibration, orientation, and temperature allowing you to monitor several areas of your home. Place the multipurpose sensor anywhere to detect when drawers have been opened or closed to keep valuables safe. Receive instant alerts if someone is trying to rattle your door or open your window and detect abnormal temperature readings all with one little device.
Recommended Placing – Place the hub in an open area well away from other devices transmitting and receiving 2.4GHz signals (like WIFI routers).
If the signal needs to penetrate walls or floors, sensors should be placed within 30 ft of the hub, or a device that can act like a ZigBee repeater (such as a SmartThings Outlet) should be placed between the two devices to boost the range.
Requires a SmartThings Hub or compatible device with SmartThings Hub functionality and SmartThings App. Free SmartThings app requires Android (6.0 or later) or iOS (10.0 or later). This device is compatible with the SmartThings ADT Security Hub, but is not compatible with ADT professional monitoring services.

Samsung secretly hates us. I waffled between three and four stars. Should probably be three, but the device works.Nothing says ‘We hate our customers’ quite the same way as the quality of the double-sided tape they use on the Multipurpose sensor.

Press, double-press and hold are all easy to activate.You donât need automation for these, as you can assign actions to the device directly. BUT, you may find this useful if you want the most flexibility. I wanted single press to turn a light on or off- a toggle. This…
Upgraded from v2 hub I upgraded from the generation 2 SmartThings hub (Ethernet-only) and so far this new gen 3 hub works great, love the fact that it’s Wi-Fi, I can now place the hub in a more central location.
