Hi @ebishop75,
I’ve purchased 3 of the automation packs, a half dozen open/close sensors, a few buttons, and I lost track of how many motion sensors. I’ve had none fail since they were installed, including using some in refrigerators and freezers. Most of my devices are also in high usage areas.
The buttons need a redesign for the battery compartment and poor battery contact, but I have implemented a workaround. Everything else has been rock solid.
I’ve actually had more problems with ST’s motion sensors and their crappy battery compartment design.
