Does anyone know whether the Z-Wave Plus Recessed Door/Window Sensor, NO LOGO can be used outdoors? For example, in a side gate leading to the back yard?

BEST ANSWER: I've used the Digital Security Controls (DSC, Canada) version of these in security systems since they were introduced nearly 10 years ago. Because they are mounted in a 3/4" hole in the edge of the door (or in the door frame) the weather eventually does get to them as the weatherstripping of the entry door allows some moisture and humidity to slowly damage the circuit board over a period of years. Now I do live in the New Orleans area and humidity is very high normally so possibly in other areas of the country where the weather is drier, you may never have a problem with copper oxide growing between the leads of the electronic components or destroying the copper circuit boards traces.

If I were to use one of these outdoors, I would seal the circuit board with something. There are a variety of methods. Epoxy, silicone modified conformal coating, nail polish, etc. are some. Google circuit+board+sealant. For the battery connections, use automotive battery grease or a marine grease.

These appear more for indoor use. There are some holes at the top and side of the tube. You could always caulk them or tape them to keep moisture out. There is a small circuit board and battery that goes in that tube so if moisture gets in I wouldn’t be good.

Probably not since it would be out of range of your Zwave Network. Plus it would be exposed to the elements. It’s pretty enclosed but moisture would still creep in to the circuit board.

Will this work if installed in a metal clad entry door?
Chris L
on Oct 7, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes I agree with Mark R's answer, placing the transmitting sensor in the door frame allows the radio frequency signal to radiate easier that if it were sandwiched between the metal cladding of the movable door. However, be careful when drilling into a door frame as electricians often run the 120VAC ROMEX cables on the studs of the door frame. The hole to be drilled for the transmitter is deeper therefore you may run the risk of hitting a live 120VAC electrical line with your drill bit and also requiring an electrician to replace the ROMEX and subsequent repair to your sheetrock wall.

I plan to insert the transmitter into the door headers for my external & garage metal clad doors. I've done reno work and I've never seen wiring run directly through the door header. Horizontally above it, yes but the header is generally 10-12" high. Even if you were to encounter a 2x4 header, you still have door frame + gap + 3-1/2" before you would exit through the top. The hole depth requirement is 65mm (2.6") so I think you should be pretty safe. If you feel the drill bit exiting before 2.75" then stop as there might be a wire next! YMMV...

I had problems with installing this in an exterior door that is clad in metal. With the sensor in the door and the magnet in the door frame the sensor would not work. I reversed the installation (sensor in door frame and magnet in the door) and the sensor began to work. I installed two in this way and both are working great.

Any chance you can hardwire these?
Scott B
on Feb 25, 2017
BEST ANSWER: These look identical to the Recessed Wireless Alarm Contacts sold by Digital Security Controls (DSC, Canada). Being familiar with those, the Magnetic Reed Switch (small, black rectangle with gold-plated leads exiting out the long end) is a Normally Open switch that closes on proximity to a magnet. Therefore you should be able to carefully remove the reed switch and run leads to an external set of contacts. Be sure that external switch presents a "Closed Circuit" when things are in the "normal" condition and likewise the external switch is an "Open Circuit" when a violation occurs. This is entirely Surface-Mount Technology and components are very small, but more importantly, copper circuit board traces are thin and fragile - easily damaged by the heat of a soldering iron. You could leave the original reed switch on the circuit board and run your external leads from those of the reed switch for convenience. But do not place a magnet anywhere near the circuit board as the original reed switch will present a closed circuit defeating any external wiring that you are connecting.

I highly doubt it. Even though the battery terminals are accessible powered by a 3v 123 battery, the working portion is embedded in the door itself and not in the door frame. I have had my unit installed over 6 months and the draw on the battery is negligible even with mutiple entries daily on the door. The initial battery is still installed and replacement when necessary, is pretty easy.

I've got some of these. They're certainly not designed for that and I can't imagine not just buying one that's designed for that if that's what you're looking for. However, if you're handy with a soldering iron, you can see the board and with a multi meter, I'm sure you could find some pins that trigger voltage when a door/window opens.

Does anyone know if, and how long of a delay there is when using this with a smartthings hub? I want to use this to turn on lights when a door opens. Was curious to know how much of a delay there is between setting off the sensor and getting a desired action.
Punit M
on Jun 12, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I feel that the delay is fairly short. I have these door sensors and others around the house, one is outside on my shed some 70 feet away or so. When I open the shed door the readout on my phone is not perfectly instant but fairly instant. I might guess combined with turning on a light in response to this might take 250ms to 500ms. Maybe up to a second in extraneous conditions. There are so many variables though so it's hard to tell. Just my guess.

How long is the battery life?
A shopper
on Dec 7, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I've used the original version of this sensor made for Digital Security Systems (DSC) of Canada professional security systems. Because it uses a Lithium battery, I've had these used in wireless security systems on the main entry door of residences and businesses which opened and closed several times a day and gotten 3 to 5 years of service life from the battery. Now with the DSC version, it was polled periodically throughout the day for supervision and battery status so that the home or business owner would get an alert at the alarm system keypad of a low battery condition with about a 7 day advance warning before the battery would fail to power the electronics. I don't know if this Z-Wave version performs the same.

Anyone else have issues with installing with a SmartThings Hub? The Z-Wave sensor connect with a SmarThings Hub properly but shows it continually 'Open' . It found the device, shows 100% battery but will not change or update between 'open' and 'closed'. Steps taken: Paired device through SmartThings, device found, assembled device, and device light flashes when the magnet is placed properly and when removed. Either way, the status within the SmartThings hub shows 'open'. I have one device installed in a door. The second device is about a foot from the hub (fully assembled, with cap, battery and magnet as if 'closed) and neither will update within the hub. Besides pairing the hub, is there a step I need to add, change or delete that will allow the sensor to update when the magnet is in the 'open' or 'closed position?

BEST ANSWER: I would suggest attempting to remove the device, then adding it back to the network. Oftentimes with many Z-Wave devices that'll fix all the problems for me. I have several of these in my house and they've all been working great with my SmartThings hub.
You might also want to try to repair your Z-Wave network after they've been paired and installed. Pairing is always easiest right next to the hub, but repairing the network helps them communicate once they're installed.

A) Make sure to pair it within a couple feet of your actual hub. When it discovers as a "Z-Wave Plus Door/Window Sensor" then its correct.
B) It may show open until you pop the "lid" on it, there is a tamper switch of some sort inside that doesn't allow it to show closed until the cap is put on it.
I have these on three entry doors and once I did the above all three worked fine.

Can the sensor be mounted both vertically and horizontally? I want to put it horizontally on the side of my door rather than vertically on the top of my door.
Tyler G
on Mar 19, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes, It can be mounted horizontally as long you are able to mount both the sensor and the opposing magnet in the door and door frame. I have a hinged patio door that has a metal locking mechanism thus did not allow me to countersink the magnet so instead I used a thin, very strong rare earth magnet and super glued it to the metal locking mechanism in the door and aligned to the sensor in the door frame. Works perfectly!

What do you do with yours? I see it says "open" "closed" to report states in the Smartthings app. But, that's not really security. Do you have yours setting off alarms? Sending you a text? I bought them thinking "Door sensors!". Which they are. But now what?! I was hoping to use them as part of a security setup. But didn't think past "door sensors!". Duh.

BEST ANSWER: That would be possible if your Smartthings hub would allow you to receive alerts or set up scenes that would cause an alarm to go off when the sensor sense movement.

Does this work with Abode Security?

BEST ANSWER: My Vera thinks this is a Vision ZD2105-5. IF you Google that, thesmartesthouse has a link to "contact us" if your device isn't listed as compatible with this item, perhaps they'd know. I've had great luck with ZWave standard devices, but I'm using the Vera product which seems more universally friendly.

Can this be used on sliding glass patio doors?

BEST ANSWER: This would not be appropriate, as recommended calls for drilling into the door as well as frame. You'd be better off using one of the other contact sensors. Like this:

Will these work with the Ring security system?
Robert F
on Nov 21, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Not likely (at least yet) from what I understand; Ring Security System is still a pretty closed system and only supports like three name brands. But in a few months, that may well change.

Does the recessed window/door sensor work with the Abode home security system?
A shopper
on Oct 21, 2018
This is confusing. Does the recessed sensor work directly with SmartThings ADT Home Security hub? Is the ADT Home security Hub even required or just a regular hub without a screen (in which case, the app may reside on the cell phone or computer). I wasn't certain why the RobRoy app was mentioned. Is the app required for the recessed sensor to work.

Great Z-Wave Door sensor
Great sensor, works well. Just make sure you have extra of the unique batteries they take as after about 18-24 months, you will need to replace them. Good sensor though, no complaints.

In Door Sensor
The battery size seems to dictate the diameter of the device. It is quite large. The instructions call for a 7/16 bit to install but using this bit the device is still too large to insert in the hole. I used a larger Forsner bit. Paired easily with my SmartThings hub.

Easily connected and installed, provided you have the proper drill bit. Works well and is not noticeable after installed. Very happy with purchase.

Once a week it "freezes" and battery must be removed/replaced.
I purchased 5 of these. So far only opened the box of 2. One connected and one won't.
I have been testing the one that works and about once a week the unit's light stay's illuminated and will not work. I need to remove the battery and then the unit goes back to working.
I currently just have it on my counter top. It would be really annoying to have to remove it from a door every week to do this.
I love the form factor but so far it seems unreliable.

Easy setup, works great.
Pairing was simple and the unit works perfectly. After installing this one, I purchased a second one the next day. The magnet is effective over a large gap > 1/2 inch. Installed it on a wooden fence gate outdoors so we'll see how it holds up to the elements. Sealed up a couple openings to try and keep it dry, time will tell, but for the cost it is worth trying. The unit comes with both white and brown covers.

Nearly Invisible, works great
Pretty good product. Instalation was straight forward. I used a 3/4 inch drill bit like others had recommended, which worked fine. It paired with SmartThings right away. I have had them installed for a month now, with no issues execept the sensor gets stuck as open in my smartthings app even with the door closed. It only happened twice so I'm still trying to figure out if it's an installation issue, Smartthings issue or sensor issue. In both cases simply opening and closing the door again fixed the problem. These sensors are nearly invisible which is great compared to the ones that mount on the door. I have 2 of these installed and after a month one battery is at 70% and the other is at 100%, so it seems to have good battery life. I would recommend this product to somone looking for a nearly invisble sensor to mount in a door and door jamb. These will need to be drill into the door/window though so keep in the mind.
