Hey everybody!
I’m looking to add open/closed sensors to my doors - one is a sliding glass door. I’ve searched quite a bit but I haven’t found a comparison of the many door sensors that integrate with smartthings. Has anybody found something like this?
Does anyone have a recommendation? Why that one?
Thanks!
The following thread should help ( this is a clickable link)
Very informative - Thank you!
I guess I’m looking for a brand recommendation or two and a reason for beating the competition.
Different things work for different people. 
there are brand notes For door sensors in post 15 Of the thread I listed above.
As far as sliding glass doors, the sensative strips ( detailed, Including a picture showing them on a glass door, in the other thread) are hard to beat for those, but they are expensive. So not everyone will choose them.
The smartest House usually has a bundle deal where you get one Sensative strip and 1 Zooz motion sensor for $60 which brings the price down quite a bit if you could also use the motion sensor, so that’s worth checking if you find you are interested in them.
So here are my priorities in order:
What do you recommend? Fibaro, Iris, Aeotec, SmartThings, sensative, etc? I’m lost

For a sliding glass door? Definitely Sensative strips. They are zwave plus, so they will have the longest range among zwave/zigbee options. Very reliable. 10 year battery life. Patented case which makes them the thinnest zwave door sensors available. Weatherproof and paintable. And as a bonus, they are on the official “works with SmartThings” list and will work straight out of the box with SmartThings.
The only downside is the cost.
As a second choice for sliding glass door , I personally would pick the triangular Aeotec door sensor, but once you get to second choice there are more options and different people have different preferences.
