HomeSeer HS-DS100+ Z-Wave Plus Door/Window Sensor

First the DS100+ was not found in the pre-loaded config files on my Vera Plus, Should be no problem I just used the Generic Zwave device and included the device. I did not understand or realize it would show up as two devices, a motion detector and window / door sensor. That did not make sense to me so I removed it. Then took a couple more tries, and resetting the device I finally got it back in and configured using one of the two devices it installs. The motion sensor device reports the battery level and the Door sensor of course reports the status of open or closed. I like the profile of the device and using 2 AAA batteries is convenient for when they will need replacement. It works but will double the items in your Vera device list making it messy if you buy very many of them.

This Z-wave+ door sensor from HomeSeer is backward compatible with the older Z-wave security cameras such as the Piper Mobile which I purchased in 2016. Although the instructions indicate that one should press the Z-wave button embedded inside this door sensor THREE times when adding it a security camera, that did not work for the Piper Mobile. I rather had to hold the Z-wave button down for about 10-20 seconds. Only then my Piper Mobile picked up this HomeSeer sensor and added it to my list of accessories. Fast forward by about a month and I have no issue with this door sensor generating a false positive or false negative alert. When the door is opened, it consistently alerts me "The door is tripped" through my Piper Mobile app. When the door is closed, it faithfully notifies me "The door is OK". Overall, an excellent door sensor so far though I have no idea that its fidelity will last a year or two from now.

Very sporadic on when it works. I bought 2 and one works fine. The other one shows online on my smartthings v3 hub, but doesn't report state change. On opening or closing the door, it blinks 3 long times and not sure what that means. Returning one to make sure I didn't get a bad piece.

Works perfect with SmartThings. Battery life is great. Has not reported a false reading or missed a open/close action. Although SmartThings recognizes this device when pairing it identifies it as z-wave and not z-wave plus. Make sure you change the device handler to z-wave plus or else it will report device as unavailable (although will still work properly).

This is not sold as waterproof but the housing is whole enough that all you have to do is fill the compartment with corrosion X and BAM Bob's your uncle!. I am using this for a pool gate. The sticker pad that came with it didn't work so good so it feel to the bottom of the gate pole where it sat in 3 inches of water for 12hrs. I retrieved it and still works like a champ. Just fill the housing with corrosion X and you are waterproof. Proven right here .....

First, the documentation is poor, so it took some effort to figure out what I'm looking for in my software to detect an open door. Turns out the state transitioning from 23 to 22 is what I need. After working well for a few months, though, the switch is getting confused. Sometimes the closed door state is 22, but other times it's indicating a 23. Other times, I open the door and the state doesn't change at all.I've lost confidence in the device, so I'm either going to buy something else or rely on my motion sensors, which have been very reliable.

temper function is same as open function... still guessing why it can't send a temper alert instead of an open alert

Battery lasts well over a year in my application. In shop where temps range from well below freezing to above 100 in summer. I have a repeater close to each one which may help.

Lorsqu`il est bien vue par le z-wave aucun probleme en domotique, batterie dure très longtemps et bon prix

It's ok, but the sensor is frequently offline and doesn't show the current state of the sensor.
