Hi, I’ve got an old SmartThings Multi Sensor (first gen) that I used years ago with SmartThings. It was actually a pretty decent little sensor, and one feature I particularly liked was the vibration detection — I used it to detect when mail had come through the letterbox. I tried pairing it with H…

It’s not in the Samsung SmartThings app, the Aeotec app, the SmartThings Community app or the SmartThings Local app. So it seems unlikely, unfortunately. You can try to get your device added to one of these apps, but you’d be the only tester which makes development a bit of a challenge…

Thanks, @Paul_Nas . That confirms what I suspected, unfortunately. When I last attempted to use this sensor with Homey around five years ago, Homey did not offer the generic Zigbee pairing option that is available now. I’ll therefore obtain a battery and try pairing it again as a generic Zigbee devi…

I’d give this sensor a very low success rate as a generic device. The only generic Zigbee devices that are supported are lights and sockets. Anything else can be added but it won’t actually do anything. The problem is that Zigbee isn’t actually a standard except for the network-side. When it comes …

[image] Paul_Nas: The only generic Zigbee devices that are supported are lights and sockets. Anything else can be added but it won’t actually do anything. Actually, this changed in Homey OS v13.1.0, released last March (see the change log ): [Generic Zigbee] So if the device uses generic Zi…

Thanks, @Paul_Nas . That makes the limitation clear. I think it may finally be time to look for replacements. I need to replace quite a few door and window sensors throughout the house. I previously used several Sensative Strips, which were excellent because they were extremely discreet and could be…

[image] hyeung: If anyone has deployed a reasonable number of Aqara T1 or other compact, replaceable-battery sensors with a Homey Pro Early 2019, I would appreciate hearing about their long-term reliability and battery life. I would suggest you first try if you can pair your existing sensor a…

I have a Myggbett which accepts AAA rechargeable batteries, which is great. They are a bit larger than other Tuya contact sensors I have, but I don’t really care. It saves me replacing a lot of batteries, because the Tuya sensors only last a year or so. Since I have about 20 of them, I’m constantly …

Thanks, @SunBeech . Yes, I’ll try the existing SmartThings sensor as a generic Zigbee sensor first, once I have obtained a fresh battery. If Homey exposes the basic open/closed contact state, that alone would make it worth keeping; vibration and temperature would be bonuses. Your experience with the…

[image] hyeung: Could I confirm whether your Aqara T1 door/window sensors are paired directly with a Homey Pro Early 2019, rather than through an Aqara hub or a newer Homey Pro? Have they remained reliable and consistently reported open/closed changes? I ask because I have found a few reports o…

[image] SunBeech: I would suggest you first try if you can pair your existing sensor as a generic Zigbee sensor. Homey doesn’t support sensors as generic Zigbee device types, only switches and lights. At least on my Pro 2019

That specific model ID (which is the non-T1 version) is supported by the Aqara app:

If the model is specifically mentioned in the first post of the Aqara forum topic, then it is support by the app.
