I have a v3 SmartThings Hub and have manually added a Monoprice (PID 15268) to my hub as a “Z-Wave Plus Door/Window Sensor”. The hub in its activity log shows when I “open” and “close” the sensor, so that appears to be working correctly. In my devices dashboard in the “SmartThings” iPhone app, it shows that my hub is “Connected”, but it shows a status of “Checking status…” for this sensor. I’m not sure if this is normal or not. When I click on this sensor, a message stating “Can’t connect to device. Check device and try again.” is shown. When I go to the “Automations” section of the app, I click on “Add automation”, click “Custom automation” and then click the “Based on a device status” option. In this screen, it shows “No devices”. If I click the “Smart Home Monitor” option and then “Security” in the “Add automation” screen, it does give me the option to select the sensor in the “Open/closed sensors” section. I then select it and set the “1 minute” on the “Delay before alert” option. This would be great if it honored the 1 minute delay, but as soon as I “open” the sensor, it alerts me. Any ideas how I can have this sensor alert me only if it’s not closed after being opened after X number of minutes? Also, is there a way to set it up to text me instead of alerting me through the SmartThings app?
Thanks
