I replaced my original hub with a Version 2 and had no problems connecting existing Hue and ZWave devices from the original setup to the new hub except for the Evolve LFM-20. Never did get it removed from the original hub and couldn’t get it to connect to the V2 hub. Tried the suggested reset procedure from Evolve but didn’t work. Spent about over an hour with ST Chat and we couldn’t get it to work so went to the Evolve site to start a ‘Ticket’. When I clicked to send the problem to them, a popup appeared and asked me to check 3 previous similar questions already submitted. One of them had the solution to my problem as follows…"Nat

For anyone who is trying to reset this device ignore the documentation on “three taps then 10 second hold” A quick double tap will do the trick as long as your hub (vera, smarthings, etc) is in exclude mode.

Many hours of experimenting resulted in the following which Evolve seems to keep a secret: If your LFM-20 is release 5.1, the three taps & hold is the solution. If your LFM-20 is release 5.41, the double tap is the solution. Any other releases that may exist is a mystery unless someone tries to figure it out as Evolve will not tell you. The only instruction sheet I have received, even with my release 5.41 is for the release 5.1."
@rbeckert I have dealt with this a few times. Here is link to posts I made about getting it to re sync. Hope that helps. I believe late on in the thread I talk about moving from V1 or V2 hub.
Hi everyone - I’m curious if I’m the only one having this problem. I’ve now gone through 4 of these relay units. They seem to last roughly 6-12 months but inevitably die on me. I’ve observed that it seems to be after lightning storms of any kind that I lose the units, but that’s a circumstantial observation on my part. Am I the only one experiencing this? I’ve contacted the company and they’ve said I’m the only one who is reporting problems, but I just can’t see how that’s possible. Is there a major ESD sensitivity issue associated with these? Anyone?
sounds like they’re blowing smoke. Anecdotally (second-hand info) these false-trigger enough that I would not apply them to anything critical, unrelated to ST cloud problems, it seems to be the hardware.
Just to chime in with a different experience. I must be really lucky. I have one that I purchased and installed for a garage door on 12/2015
There may or may not have been one false trigger, once. We were on vacation, the garage door was open for a couple of hours. It is possible that I accidentally hit the button in the app, but I do not think I did, or it was a false trigger.
I’ve never had that happen before. But with 4 units down, I’m not purchasing any more - and even warrently replacements seem silly since they just keep dying on me. I’m going to try one of these: http://a.co/5hU06uS
Can you describe how you are hooking it up? I’ve thought maybe I need a resistor on the switch hookup to the garage door since it’s pushing some AC… But since it’s an isolated unit that doesn’t make a ton of sense. I feel strongly that I’m just missing something. Also this is three separate garage door openers, across two different brands, in two different homes. This just screams user error.

I’ve had mine for 3 1/2 years and plenty of power surges. So far no issues. Visit Topic or reply to this email to respond. To unsubscribe from these emails, click here.
Yea, I’m pretty sure I’m hooking the up right. I just wire power in directly from a plug, and have the two blue wires straddle the two terminals on the garage door where the buttons attach. So basically the relay just pushed the button. It all works perfectly. Right up until it doesn’t. And then the units are dead. No indicator light. Nothing. Just dead. 3 of them in 1 year.
All, here are the instructions I wrote for pairing hsm-200 temperature sensor with smartthings. I thought these were for the garage door opener (lfm-20) that is why I posted them. They may be useful for new people trying to pair a new device with smarrthings. I posted them here once I finally figured it out as a newbie
Here is a copy and paste
After reading various things here and on Amazon.com 1 reviews here is how I finally configured this to work with SmartThings hub (version 2 in my case)
Instructions to get EZMultiPli is also known as the HSM200 working with SmartThings Hub version 2 hub.
Plug the EZMultiPli is also known as the HSM200 into an outlet. When you do this it should flash green.
On the side of the EZMultiPli (or HSM200) you will see a very small button that is about 1/8 of inch long and a few millimeters thick. Press and hold this for about 30 seconds, it will start flashing colors (I think red) and then it will stop flashing, at this point open your SmartThings app on your iPhone or Android device and click the “Add A Thing” under My Home
You will then see a new thing called “RGBW Light” added to your SmartThings. At this point it is not configured yet.
Then Paste the code into the blank white box under the Create New Device Handler in the From Code link
Click the Create button at the bottom
10)From https://graph.api.smartthings.com/ 3 go to My devices and you should see the RGBW Light Device, click Edit
Click the Type* field and scroll to the very very bottom and you should now see “EZmultiPli” select that
Optionally select Label to something more useful as in “Temperature Outside” (you can do this from the SmartThings app on your phone)
Click Update
Now in the SmartThings app on your phone you will see the temperate, you will have to enter the “thing” and leave it and it will soon show up with the temperature
