Can these be used outside on a fence gate.? Will rain or the elements affect its operation
A shopper
on Dec 17, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Keep in mind though that batteries typically don't do well in cold weather. So the battery performance for the sensor will likely be poor if it gets cold. I don't have any specific numbers at this time, but it is something to keep in mind with battery powered devices that are outside.

I’ve been using 2 of these for the outdoor gates, open to the Canadian elements and they’ve survived for over a year. I coated the outside seams and screw with silicone. Also works for the garage door open/close detection.

They are not intended to be used outside. You could probably seal it with silicone caulk but would have to deal with the caulk again to change the battery.

The sensor is not weather proof. Assuming that the gate is not too far from the receiver, you would need to protect it from water intrusion somehow.

BEST ANSWER: No sound. There is a light on the unit, but the way I have it setup I do not see it.
If you wanted it to emit a sound you could likely come up with something via triggers in you z-wave hub, but I don't have any details more than that.

Nor will any other sensor that I am aware of. The two most common approaches employ either a switch (usually magnetic) that is either on/off (aka open/closed) or a tilt sensor that also only has two states... open or closed. PS the external switch mode is DISABLED by default and depending upon your software, may be difficult or impossible to activate. HOWEVER, the device is VERY EASY to disassemble and the wires to the internal relay are long enough to solder to once you cut the existing relay out. The only tricky part is routing the wires out of the enclosure without getting in the way of the tamper sensor. ANYBODY HERE use HOMESEER 3?
Yes, but it won't tell you if it's fully or partially opened.

Does the internal board have connection points to allow connecting existing prewired sensors?
A shopper
on Jul 23, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes, although I would say not "poke out" a piece of plastic but likely use a drill and be REALLY careful not to drill into the sensors. The plastic is reasonably thick and has to be removed to put the wires into the contact connections. I will say, the connections are great and very secure but you need precision screwdriver for the screws.

For the doors that I open regularly (the one I use everyday entering/leaving), it's a bit under a year on the batteries that came with the device. For doors that get opened less regularly, the batteries will probably last about a year and a half. They don't seem to last nearly as long as some of the motion sensors that use CR123 batteries.

Mine is on the front door, which is about 55'- 60' from the panel. It doesn't work 100% of the time. There are no Z-Wave devices between the front door and the panel, which would probably help, since they are supposed to act as relays.

I purchased two of these. The first switch installed as a generic z-wave switch. Has anyone else experienced this and I'm assuming a reset is the way to correct the situation?? That's my first issue. The second switch installed as a Z-Wave Plus Door/Window Sensor as it should. But it appears open in SmartThings when it's closed and closed when it is open. How do I correct that? I'm using a v2 SmartThings Hub. Thanks in advance for help on both of these.

BEST ANSWER: Since i can't add a link in this answer, Google --> "account smartthings", should be the first thing that comes up and click that. Should be a link to ACCOUNT.SMARTTHINGS DOT COM. From here just login and then go to "My Devices" in the main header of the site, from there click on the device you want to change. After you have done this click the "Edit" button on the bottom of that device's page. From there you should be able to swap the "Type" field to "Z-Wave Plus Door/Window Sensor". From here just click the "Update" button and you should be all fixed and can close out the site.

Any one had any luck using with Wing hub (V1)? Shows up as generic Z-Wave device and does not report open or close. Contacted wink and was told it was not a compatible device.

BEST ANSWER: If you mean Wink hub, I have had no more luck than you. Too bad, since the equivalent tilt sensor I use on my garage door works great.

How can you manually exclude this sensor? My Smarthings hub died and I have a new one I need to add this to the new one.

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question.
Program/Tamper Switch 10 times in a 10 second time period you would reset the device back to factory settings.

Can it report battery status to Vera? My other Monoprice sensors show battery status on my Vera Edge, however this one shows nothings. It seems it has the capability to provide battery status

Does this sensor work with dsc panels?
A shopper
on Aug 13, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Not easily, but there are tutorials online that explain how to an old DSC panel with SmartThings by using an Envisalink board and a Node server -- it's a technically complicated solution, but it can be done. Obviously, you have to enroll the Monoprice sensor in SmartThings for this pairing to work. Search for posts by RedLoro on smartthings community pages.

How does this work compared to item #24259. That one obviously has a separate piece that when separated sends a signal. Does this item just trigger on movement?

Does anyone know what the row of available PINs do inside? Any chance a pair of them would short the internal reed sensor for when you are using an external switch?

Unreliable
I have about 15 of these installed in my house for the past 2 years and have a lot of issues with them randomly reporting the incorrect open/close state. I have repositioned them multiple times to get better contact with the magnets with no luck. Big investment to have to replace all of them, but super frustrating to regularly have one of these report any open state while lying in bed or worse to have our alarm triggered falsely in the middle of the night. Was on vacation last week and on day one I get an alert the front door was open, none of the motion sensors inside were triggered but this sensor remained “open” the entire week which of course means if someone actually forced open the front door the alarm would not be triggered.

Alexia???
there seems to be no way to integrate it into Alexia which really bums me out!
So it will sit in the drawer now.

Trash
Bought 3 of these, they are incredibly unreliable, not registering the correct state constantly. I tried setting one up with an external sensor.... that also does not work. Save your money an avoid this sensor.

External sensor notes
It does have terminals for an external sensor and they do work, however it needs to be enabled through configuration and does not disable the reed switch.
In home-assistant the configuration is available on the z-wave node config options section. Make sure to wake the device up with the tamper switch while changing the setting.
You will need to either short the reed switch or keep it closed with a magnet at all times for the external switch to work properly. I hot glued a smaller magnet in place.

Z wave door sense, NO LOGON
It works with smartthings hub 2018. This sensor is not in the list of support brands in smarttings app. Just choose one of the brand in the list has Z wave device can link it to smartthings. Once it is linked, it works perfectly. I use it as garage door sensor. It works every time.
