AEOTECDoor Window Sensor 7, Z-Wave Plus Enabled Zwave Hub Required, Gen7, White (Door/Window Sensor 7)

I really miss the little triangular sensors Aeotec used to sell. They were so easy to pair, charge, and reset if needed. I had one of those go bad and had to be replaced. I got one of these thinking it would be just as good. It works great once you get it working. It's a pain to get it to pair, the pairing button is hard to reach when you have it mounted. It was hit-and-miss getting it paired. I use homeassistant and zwave-js-ui. I have over 70 zwave devices in my network. This little sensor was one of the most aggravating to get working. But now that it's paired, it works great. Just get ready to pull some hair out with this. But it will eventually work.

It puts out a very weak signal so it has to be extremely close to the hub in order to work. Also the magnet trigger is oddly aligned. You have to mount the sensor and magnet at an offset very odd design.

Battery that came with this has a date of 9/18/2020 ... Not surprised this is DOA. Hopefully the replacement will work. The replacement didn't work. Same battery expiration date. Amazon gave me a credit to buy fresh batteries. That worked! Getting this to connect with the Z-wave hub was a little challenging, but finally got it working.

I bought four of these and could only get one to pair with my Zwave hub and when paired it was inconsistent with status updates back to the hub. Like many other reviews here these are junk and I’m now trying to return all four for a refund.

Bought 2 of these are non would connect to my SmartThings as a door sensor. Kept coming up as a light switch or generic sensor and did nothing

Was expected an easy setup since I have the Aeotec hub. Other items paired up using QR code - not these sensors. I returned them

3 out of box... installed batteries... no action on any... I'm furious

Thank you aotec, 4 product 3 dead batteries on arrival.
