Works as desribed bit not precise for security purposes
4 Stars
Works as desribed bit not precise for security purposes
Giving this a 4 star because it works as described but not as precise as expected. Works on. Basic mechanism (which is good) once the arm rotates past a certain point it triggers as open. Originally set up for left but can be re arranged for a right hindge also. Works with smart things perfectly. The issues is with the calibration. You have to move the arm to different locations to the sensor. What i wanted to do is to make sure the door was closed and that the smart lock (schlage) was deployed. I needed the precision because if the door is open and the lock deployed the lock still reads as locked as it can't tell if the door is closed.The instruction mention to turn the sensor until it lights up the led (open point which is preset) back it up a little and place the arm in it. Difficult to make it precise initially but then I realized there are markings on the sensor and arm to give you some send of location because both are round. Another issues is that the arm fits over the sensor and the round stub you hold onto to keep it still is too short to it will often rotate (there's tension on it) while placing the arm in. Further more once you fasten the cap on the device to lock the sensor and arm in place it often changes the location of the open a but due to the tension from the screw. After and hour of calibrating (took about 10 mins to install) the best i can get it is to trigger the door as oppen when it's about 2-3 inches open already. Not precise enough to ensure the door is closed when the lock is deployed. Attached is a picture of how open the door is before it triggers as open/closed.In summary useful if you just need to sense of a door is opened up lot if you want to turn in a light or something but not precise enough for security purposes (would get a magnetic slide version for that purpose).

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to set up and activate with my Wink hub
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2017
Verified Purchase
Update: I've had this set up to push notifications and that works like a charm. In addition, I just went through the process of switching the device to work on a right hinged door. The reconfiguration necessary took about 5 minutes after reading the instructions. I wanted to test this on my right hinged door because it doesn't have trim on that right edge whereas my left hinged doors do have trim on the hinge side. It still works like a charm. That's why I've upgraded my review to 5 stars. Even though it runs on a batter, I love how it integrates with my Wink hub. I've set up a robot to not only send a notification when the door is opened/closed, but to also send me an email when the better gets low. So I'll know when I need to replace the battery.

Original Review of 4 stars:
Relatively easy installation since my door opens to the left as it comes configured for that by default. I had some trouble with getting my Wink to sync with it. When using the Wink app barcodes scanner it said it was incompatible. But if I selected a Z-Wave device from the sensors section, I was able to connect it up with the wink hub within 5 feet of door hinged item. When connected to the hinge pin, the instructions indicate that the device needs to be up against the door trim. This works well for me and doesn't seem to move away from the device. After getting the device configured in my Wink setup, I was able to create a robot in about 90 seconds that sends me a notification when the door opens/closes. I've tested it and it works as expected.

I will admit that I was wary of purchasing this based on others results and ratings for the device. But I'm happy with how it works. I'll be testing this out over the next month or so and if I'm really happy with it, then I will be getting more for the other doors.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy! Horrible setup, horrible resolution. 1.5 hour installation and still works poorly.

I usually wait awhile before reviewing but am hoping to keep others from same mistake. The concept is great and seemingly would be an easy install. It did easily connect to Smartthings. But getting it set up to correctly detect door open and closed is another matter.

While the instructions are very poor I was able to re-configure the sensor for a right hand door. It almost immediatly connected to Smartthings but would not update between open and closed. At this time the sensor was not installed I was just making sure everything worked. In the instructions was "instructions" for changing mode. No instructions on why this may be needed but after playing with this a few times the sensor started reporting open and closed.

Easily installed onto the door, and found it was horribly loose on the hinge pin. Remembered an unlabeled plastic piece inthe box and decided this was a insert to improve fit and it was. After install it would detect the door open after about 18 inches so followed instructions for moving actuator. After over an hour of adjsuting the best results I was able to attain is that it senses open after 6 inches of the door being open and will sense close about an inch before the door is fully closed. Horrible resolution! Luckily this is one of my least sensitive doors for security. I will go back after relaxing from this exercise in futility and shim the thing so it will work for my needs.

For those of you thinking "this idiot doesn't know what he's doing" I spent 30 years as an electro-mechanical tech adjusting multi million dollar equipment where a sensor out of adjustment by a few millimeters could crush a $100000 part. I know what I'm doing. On the same day I installed a recessed contact on another door in 10 minutes including measuring, drilling and painting. The hinge design is just bad. There should be a small bracket to hold the body of the device, along with the hinge pin support, to provide stability and rigidity. The actuator arm should have a jacking screw to provide more adjustment then just changing position on the gear. Save your self frustration!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the easiest install, but works well
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2020

As others have said, it's big, white, and bulky. About 5 inches tall and an inch in diameter, so don't use where you want to "hide" a sensor (Sensative's strip sensors work better for this). Easy to pair to SmartThings. Uses a goofy battery type, not a standard AA or C battery so beware of that when replacement time comes. Only works with standard interior hinges, it won't work on self-closing hinges or outward-opening. I have one on my interior garage door, the top and bottom hinge are self-closers, the middle one is a standard that I added this to.
The hard part of the install was getting it adjusted to fire right at door open or close. Takes a lot of trial and error and making the adjustments involves taking the whole thing apart and putting it back together again. There's about a 2-6 inch playing field before it fires, so this is not an extremely precise device.

Exactly what I was looking for. I installed it on the bottom hinge, it doesn’t stand out that way.
Paired it with a Dome alarm/chime. That works but it was annoying. Ended up just allowing the notifications on my iPad. That seems to be sufficient. I get a pop up message and a ding when the door opens and again when it closes.

2.0 out of 5 stars What's the Point?
Reviewed in Canada on December 24, 2019

It works well enough I guess. I was stupid and was under the impression that it closes the door as well as senses whether it opens and closes. Pretty dumb I know. Sometimes you read into a product what you wish it could do. Anyways, it just senses, that's all. You can accomplish the same thing with a magnetic door sensor as a part of your smart alarm system. If you are in the Smarthome game you must have a smart home alarm too right? If you wish to invest this product then here are a few hints. 1) you need a z-wave enabled hub attached to your home router. I used Samsung Smarthings hub but there are others. 2) to set up the hub download the smarthings app on your phone and setup the hub. 3) then follow the instructions on the app to add a new device, to find the GE hinge pin sensor. Don't bother looking under GE look under Jasco. 4) Once you have found the sensor, you should be able to see the open vs. closed state of the sensor on the app as you move the swing arm back and forth. Verify this before installing. 5) lastly download the Smarthings Skill in your Alexa app and enable, to make Alexa communicate with your Smartthings Hub. You should then be able to ask Alexa whether your door is open or closed. But I have to say again, I can accomplish the same thing with less hassle but using a door sensor on my alarm system, which also communicates with Alexa. GE you need to make a version of this device that can actually close an open door. That would be a killer device Lastly, it may or may not work for you depending on how the long vertical piece sits against the molding. When the door opens, if the vertical pieces isn't braced flat against your molding, it won't work. You can do some mods to make it work but it wouldn't look nice and clean then would it?

3.0 out of 5 stars Switch modification for right opening
Reviewed in Canada on October 19, 2020

Device is delivered in left door opening position. Instructions are simple to change to right hand opening however the machining of the tiny gear was not precise. After much examination of the physical workings of this switch I had to use needle nose pliers and slightly raise a metal pin that rides against the gear in order to have it travel enough to function the switch. Works as described after this small fix.
