From SmartThings, can you tell if the door/window is open or closed? In other words, does it just alert when there is a state changed or can a ask it if it's open/closed? Thanks!
A shopper
on Aug 4, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it reports open/closed in the app. Anytime you look at it (or when any connected smartapps look at it) you'll see open/closed state.

BEST ANSWER: I had issues with this too until I added the device as secure. I read the instructions and there are two methods, unsecure and secure. Here's the steps I went through and I successfully added 5 devices.
1) Stand about 1 ft from the smartthings HUB
2) From your phone Add a device.
3) While the phone is searching for the device, press and hold the little black button for 3 seconds.
4) The sensor light will flash and your phone will detect the device.

Has anyone had any luck with setting the wake up on these? I have been unsuccessful with Home Assistant.
A shopper
on Dec 3, 2018
BEST ANSWER: No luck at all. I've used OZW (Home Assistant), the OZW Control Panel, and the Sigma Z-Wave PC Control 5 software, and none of them are able to set the wake up interval. The device always reports back the time of 0 after setting it. Also, the WAKE_UP_INTERVAL_CAPABILITIES_GET command returns a REPORT value with all zeroes as the payload. If the device is reporting this correctly, it means it does not support changing the wake up interval, and only wakes up from user interaction (pressing the z-wave button). Monoprice should fix the documentation if this is true.

{% set battery_level = states.zwave.doorfront.attributes.battery_level | default(0) | int %}
{% set battery_round = (battery_level / 10) |int * 10 %}
{% if battery_round >= 100 %}
mdi:battery
{% elif battery_round > 0 %}
mdi:battery-{{ battery_round }}
{% else %}
mdi:battery-alert
{% endif %}
friendly_name: Front Door
unit_of_measurement: "%"
zwave_battery_door_front:
value_template: '{{ states.zwave.doorfront.attributes.battery_level|default(0) }}'
icon_template: >
{% set battery_level = states.zwave.doorfront.attributes.battery_level | default(0) | int %}
{% set battery_round = (battery_level / 10) |int * 10 %}
{% if battery_round >= 100 %}

BEST ANSWER: Mine has lasted through a Maine winter and a good part of this summer on the original batteries. During the winter, it regularly reported 30-40degree F temperatures, so the battery got good and cold. Of course, we weren’t opening and closed that door a lot over the winter, but I have not seen much effect this summer when we are opening and closing the door frequently.

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.

Easy setup, work as expected
I had the unfun experience of having Iris shutting down their service. I owned a few Zigbee sensors and received the payment from Iris for the hub and these sensors. With the money, I decided I would try Monoprice to replace the Zigbees.
And I am happy I did.
The only downside is that compared to the Iris 1st gen sensors these replace, this is easily 4x-5x larger. Compared to the 2nd gen Iris contact sensors it is still substantially larger, probably 2x.
The upsides are great accuracy, easy set up and installation, and it has the tamper sensor that my old Iris sensors lacked.
I replaced the Iris hub with a Hubitat Elevate and these paired right up as generic contact sensors. And they work.
Recommended.

Not so easily paired (for me anyway)
I purchased 6 of these for my windows. I’m using the smartthings classic app with the smartthings v2 hub. I have followed the instructions and have not been able to get them paired. I see reviews here that say “pairs easily with smartthings”, then a few post later say “device handlers readily available”. Which is it? Is it recognized by smartthings automatically or do you need to install device handlers?

Doesn't consistently work
Installed it on my windows. Test opened it a few times. It worked fine during installation. But then when I go and test it again a few days later, doesn't always register, on my smartthings, as an open. If it doesn't register, why bother with this? Yes, I installed it correctly. You hear a click when the magnet is tripped, so don't bother telling me it's improperly installed. I would not buy this again.
