Linear Door-Windows Sensor WADWAZ-1 (GoControl Home Security Suite)

[Damon_Blumenstein]

I think I got it, made my rule, but it doesn’t seem to think the window is “closed”. I get the rule to make the virtual switch change state, and when I opened the window, the virtual switch said open, however it would not revert to closed. The piston shows “false” all the time for the closed detection. I am going to try playing around more but its sooooo cold out I can’t play with the window much, I may grab another sensor and do bench testing.

I’ll most likely have the changes I mentioned completed sometime this weekend…

I just released a new version that has the feature you were looking for.

[OBSOLETE] GoControl Door/Window Sensor, Motion Sensor, and Siren DTH

I just released a new version of the GoControl Contact Sensor that has a new setting for Main Contact Behavior, but it’s only important for the users that are using the external contacts. The setting has the following options: Last Changed Contact (Default): This is the default value for this setting and it makes the main tile change based on the last event that occured. Internal Contact Only: Events from the external contacts do not change the main contact. External Contact Only: Events from the internal contacts don’t change the main contact. Both Contacts Closed: The main tile will only show closed if both the internal contact and external contact are closed. Both Contacts Open: The main tile will only show open if both the internal contact and external contact are op…

Kevin, you’re awesome, thanks for all your help and your code, I cant wait to try it!

Works like a charm, I love this community and people like you that help like this.

probably a stupid question, but I"m going to ask anyway.

I opened up my GoControl door sensor to get a look at the battery and it triggered the tamper switch, so now the sensor is showing as always open. I found the user manual online, and it mentions that this is the expected behavior, but they don’t talk about how to fix it.

Can someone help me figure out how to reset the tamper switch without having to re-pair the device (and recreate all my automations) ?

Thanks!

If you use my Go Control Contact Sensor DTH then you can change the tamper attribute back to clear by tapping the “Refresh” tile.

@krlaframboise What are the chances you can get your DTHs for the Go Control devices into the SmartThings Master repo, and have them get these working locally? I personally use the external sensor setup to have my double hung windows alert correctly when the bottom or top is open, and also use it on a multiple-window setup where its 2 or 3 wide… This DTH should be the default for these devices in my opinion!

SmartThings stopped accepting publication requests a long time ago and they’re switching to a new platform so there’s no chance of that happening.

If you want everything to run locally then you might want to consider switching to a different hub like Hubitat which is similar to SmartThings, but everything runs locally, and it has a fully functional built-in handler for this device.
