Hi,

It’s been a while since I’ve touched my Smart Things system.

Recently, I added a door sensor, which I hoped would tell me whether the door had opened or closed. But instead, on the app, the device log just shows “on” or “off”.

I thought I could update custom firmware to my devices to get the modifications I needed, so the app would show “opened” or “closed” instead of “on/off”.

Am I wrong? What happened?

thanks,

hbs

Delete the device in the SmartThings app, install the **Zigbee Contact Mc** driver from [this channel](https://api.smartthings.com/invitation-web/accept?id=6b68563b-1905-4654-8d2b-e677a2997424) and add it back again.

If the above doesn’t work, try the **Zigbee Sensors Edge Driver [YG] 1.8.16** from [this channel](https://bestow-regional.api.smartthings.com/invite/8b2Ay0rKX2ve).

Hold the sensor very close to the hub. Press the reset button every minute until paired (it may take multiple attempts). Simulate open/close during pairing. This makes sure to keep it awake. In my experience it’s _sometimes_ necessary with battery powered devices.

I’ve got some Aqara sensors. To begin with I added them directly to SmartThings but had a lot of issues with them falling offline.

I ended up buying an Aqara M2 Hub. Connected the sensors to the Aqara hub and used Matter-over-bridge to bring them into SmartThings. It did require me to get an Aqara outlet to reach the farthest Aqara sensors.

Thanks!

I was wondering how I get to driver channels. I forgot how to get to that place.

Now all I have to do is to rip the device off from its M3 sticker for the hub. 😕 not ideal but…
