The versatile Multipurpose Sensor is an all in one sensor that can detect vibration, orientation and angle (tilt), temperature and when things open or closeMonitor secure areas of your home and be alerted if a door, window, cabinet or drawer opens unexpectedlyGet a reminder if you forgot to close your front door or garage doorKnow the temperature in any room or locationMeasurements (for combined sensor and magnet): 1.9 inches wide, 1.89 inches tall and 0.57 inches thickAdditional Requirements: Samsung SmartThings HubCommunication Protocol: ZigBee; Refer to the Trouble Shooting Steps available below in product descriptionWe recommend placing the hub in an open area well away from other devices transmitting and receiving 2.4GHertz signals (like WIFI routers). If the signal needs to penetrate walls or floors, we generally recommend sensors be placed within 30 ft of the hub, or that a device that can act like a ZigBee repeater (such as a SmartThings Outlet) be placed between the two devices to boost the range. Temperature 32 to 104 degree FRange: 50 to 130 ft

Samsung SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor - $30

Samsung SmartThings Motion Sensor - $30

The lowest price ever offered on Amazon according to Camel3x.

You could do it but you'd need a Smartthings Hub and a Smartthings Multisensor. There's a custom Smart App for Smartthings that allows you to control the myQ garage door.

Once you get that set up, you have to create a virtual switch in Smartthings. You can link Smartthings to Google Assistant and then make up some shortcuts in Google Assistant. I have done this and now I can say "Hey Google, open the garage door" and the shortcut "turns on" the virtual switch, and vice versa for "Hey Google, close the garage door."

Now, this isn't exactly cheap. The Smartthings Hub is like $99 and the multi sensor is around $30. Then you have to integrate the developer's GitHub repo into the Smartthings IDE. I know that sounds super complicated, but it really isn't bad as they give you instructions on how exactly to do it.

Plus, you get the added benefit of having Smartthings know when your garage door is open or closed, which, if you're anything like me is a god send because when I'm pulling out of my driveway, I go on autopilot and my brain turns off and I typically forget whether I've closed the garage door. No more.

If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Home automation specifically using Smartthings has become quite the hobby for me.

Heads up! Just discovered the following this weekend, and it baffled and annoyed me up until now. If you're using the Samsung SmartThings sensor...

while it might make aesthetical sense to put the smaller magnetic part on the door or window, the sensor itself (larger part) needs motion (accelerometer?) to trigger a state change alert back to your hub. I had it set up the other way around and was getting really upset at the product and Samsung for not working properly. Switched them around and now I'm golden, and faith restored in the Samsung SmartThings products.

  1. Overall, yes I like it.

  2. That should be the the easiest to do and it each sensor costs around $10. The literally equivalent from Samsung is $30. 3X as expensive means you may have to make compromises to fitting your entire house with sensors. Echo compatibility just isn't worth it to me.

  3. Power is battery. I've had my system and all these sensors since august. Not a single battery has died yet.

  4. You pretty much need to set any time +12 hours for eastern time. If you don't want to be notified for a door opening between the hours of 3-6 PM, you may have to set the ignore time as 3-6 AM. Unfortunately this isn't always consistent and may depend on the hardware (their cameras were updated and don't need to do this any more, but their sensors/home automation does). If the device has an internal clock, from my experience (camera, air purifier, etc) the times are correct, but if it depends on the home automation server (sensors and app) then you have to add the 12 hours.

>Brainstorming Ideas: Based on a bedrooms temperature -> Turn on/off the smart plug (connected to a window fam).

Perhaps compare inside temp to outside temp, and if former is higher and latter is greater than 60 (or whatever), turn on...? (That is, if it's hoter inside than outside, but not fricken freezing, then turn on.) Great idea, and you could get pretty fancy with it.

>I have an extra android smartphone I would be willing to leave plugged in and in the room to be a permanent thermometer for that sensor.

Temp sensors can be had for less than $20, depending on your home automation system (see below).

>So I'm open to using a product like IFTTT or another IoT product that will link my smart switch to a thermostat sensor (prefer an app on an android device but who knows). (quoted from here)

I'm sure it could be done using Arduino or a Pi system, but I haven't dived in that deep. This could be done with a SmartThings or Hubitat with one of these. I'm pretty sure with either SmartThings or Hubitat you could also compare to outside temp. However, before you commit, double check on the sensor (let me know, and I can double-check for you... there's two different types of these sensors, and I think I've read that one doesn't do well).

edit: Personally, I avoid WiFi devices, since it would clog up my network with a gazillion sensors, bulbs and switches. But, there are two schools of thought, where the other is that it doesn't matter at all. Still, I'd go with Zigbee or Zwave, which gives more flexibility in fulfilling any later genius home automation ideas you might have.

Also (assuming the window is functional) you could pair it with a door/window sensor, to only turn on if open. I use these, but there are cheaper options.

Is the standard multi-purpose sensor a sufficient sensor for this purpose? Thanks!

EDIT: Seems it is! I'll try it out.

u/fugiwara · 1 pointr/SmartThings

the multisensors are on sale now and do temperature. I just installed one in my network closet to alert me when it gets too hot.

u/tomgabriele · 1 pointr/homeautomation

I was thinking of the Smartthings multipurpose sensor which is all wireless. Just stick it on the door and pair it to your hub.

Smart Thermostat: I use the Honeywell Z-Wave thermostat (as my smart home is "mostly" Z-Wave). I considered Ecobee (I hate Nest), but went with this as I don't really need a "learning" thermostat...do this temperature when I am home, do that one when I am not home.

Sprinkler control: Rachio (Amazon Link) - best sprinkler controller I have ever had...depending on where you live, you might even get a rebate on your water due to the water savings this has.

Smart Door Lock: Kwikset (Amazon Link) - again Z-Wave as I use Z-Wave. A cool thing about this lock is that you can re-key it yourself.

Temperature Sensor: SmartThings Motion Sensor (Amazon Link) - it reports temperature, and it's ZigBee

Leak Sensor: Samsung SmartThings Leak Sensor (Amazon Link) - it's ZigBee, but I have built out a smaller ZigBee network too.

Garage Door Opener: GoControl (Amazon Link) - again Z-Wave.

​

Multi-Purpose Sensor: SmartThings (Amazon Link) - Open/Close, Temperature, Vibration: I have one of these on each my closet doors (when I open the door, the closet light turns on...when I close the door the light turns off). I also have one on my Gun Safe (so I get notified if my gun safe door is open...also get vibration notifications if it's being tampered with)

The temperature/motion sensor is a nice combination. For example, I have one of these outside on my lanai. When it detects motion, it turns the fans on...but only if the temperature is over 74 F). I have a few of these inside that turn on small table lamps at night when motion is detected (versus large/bright lights) because the night is dark, and full of terrors.

​

Don't know if you have a pool, but I use iAqualink as my pool controller. It has it's own app, and now integrates with Alexa (doesn't integrate with SmartThings yet). But it's nice being able to turn on the spa and spa heater while out for dinner, and having it be up to temperature by the time you get home.

​

Oh - and check out Sonos for whole house audio. I SOOOOOOOOO love my Sonos speakers.

u/canoxen · 1 pointr/homeautomation

Mine was cheaper because I bought my hub and a bunch of sensors as a kit, used.

But, something like this mulitpurpose sensor and this smart outlet.

I have all of my automations run through webcore so that's what I used.
