As long as you got the Z wave version, not the HomeKit version, it will work with smartthings and you can configure it with the Z wave Tweaker. ( The HomeKit version does not work with smartthings.)

Most people do not use rechargeable batteries with sensors because the usage curve is very different than a traditional non-rechargeable battery and in particular, the drop off from 50% to dead is very quick. So you may have a hard time knowing when to recharge the battery unless you’re willing to wait for it to die altogether. Also, on motion sensors specifically you will tend to get more false alerts from rechargeable batteries.

Hi,

This might sound crazy but I’ve seen you post some helpful advice regarding a couple of IOT issues that I am doing some research on. Is there any way I can pick your brain for a few minutes via PM or IM?

Sorry, no. See the following:
