Found the mimolite on Amazon, for $59.99, possibly from Fortrezz directly: http://www.amazon.com/FortrezZ-MIMOliteUS-Z-Wave-Multi-input-Contact/dp/B00B6RZ7MM/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A1MH8I9X7FNRV1
Supposed to be this month and its $40 including the dimmer and one of the new Hue lux bulbs.
@compliance Iāam seeing the door/window sensors for $24.88. What am I missing?
Looks like it was a temporary price reduction
@Toasty Being completely new to ST. Do the Samsung door/ offer any distinct advantages over the Monoprice ones linked above. For example does pairing the Monoprice require extra steps? Delay in notification a sensor has been tripped?
With the Monoprice sensors being $15 cheaper and I am trying to understand why I would not load up on the Momoprice ones.
Any feedback would be appreciated. I am going to be ordering the V2 hub this week.
pairing did not take extra steps. Best practice would be log into the IDE (developer control panel for your account and devices) and you can add the specific Monoprice door/window sensor device type, if the generic z-wave device type that is initially assigned by ST doesnāt work how youād like. I am using mine as a smoke detector interface, so I modified the device type specifically for that.
Yup, itās back to regular price. Toomuch, go with the GoControl kit mentioned not too far above. $50 for 2 door/window sensors and a motion sensor. I installed two of those kits this weekend and they are working great. Average price of $17/sensor in that kit is pretty good and itās available at HomeDepot/Amazon.

What version of the hub are you running these off of?
Super Deal on the IS-ZW-TSTAT-100 Thermostat! Thanks for posting this @Aboxman. Will be perfect for my garage thermostat. I ordered the last one that the eBay seller had at $18.71 (free shipping) thats give away pricing! Not the most elegant looking thermo, but in a garage setting its just fine.

I bought monoprice ones and installed yesterday. They are working GREAT! I kept the OOTB designation of a generic zwave open/close sensor. I would be really curious if others changed it in IDE and if there are further benefits I am missing out of
is it reporting battery status? The custom device type I found does.
Yes they doā¦
bla bla
Yes, I have them all at 100% at the moment. Would you recommend just keeping it as a generic zwave window/door sensor then?
I thought i read somewhere in a forum is you can actually use it as a water sensor too, do you know if this is true?
Let me know if i am missing any other benefits for keeping it as a generic sensor. Thanks again for your help!
Mine are setup as generic and I am not sure what additional benefits a different device type will provide since both options of battery and contact are actually being displayedā¦
Yes these can be modded to work as moisture sensors:

But frankly I would wait for the PEQ ones to go back on sale at 20$ or buy them from Amazon for 25$ and be done with it! If you have a unique mounting situation and can make use of the flexible contacts on the monoprice ones then go that routeā¦

Monoprice motion detector is down to $22.67 this morning: Link
Bought the GoControl kit yesterday, which I think is still a better deal if you need contact sensors.
@rag1998 Does the GoControl kit integrate with ST?
According to @ule it does work, should have mine in couple days: Uleās Post
My local HD has couple of them left for 49 bucks.
I am way too lazy to stop by HD j/k. But I had some Amazon GCās to burn!
Patiently waiting for Monoprice contact sensors to go back on sale, since I donāt need anymore motion sensors.
Also the PEQ water sensors at 20$ will be nice!
Yes , o/c pair as generic ZW DW sensor , and pir pairs as Aeon Multisensor
