Snakedog116:
I have a Simulated Presence Sensor which takes two presence sensors and turns it into one device. I also have a Simulated Light which turns two lights into one device on SmartThings.
What I’m looking for is a device type that will merge two contact sensors into one.
Background: I have 2 cheap garage door sensors. They each sometimes think the door is open when it isn’t. But rarely do they BOTH not work at the same time. Therefore I’d like to merge them into one device so that only when both sensors say they are open that it’ll trigger my alarm system, smartapps etc.
Thanks in advance!
This exists, it comes with a smart app called “zone manager” so you can assign the sensors you want to the zone. Look on the quick browse list in the community – created wiki under sensors or under security.

You may also need Mike’s “universal virtual device type handler” which will let a contact sensor report as motion.
This has got to be the sickest DTH ever…
The uDTH
Ever wished you could turn on a presence sensor with a switch?, or maybe take a lock command and send a motion event?
Basically this bad boy accepts these commands:
on
off
open
close
lock
unlock
and can turn them into these attribute states:
open
closed
present
not present
active
inactive
The following capabilities are presented on the command side:
switch
door control
garage door control
lock
The following devices are presented on the attribute side:
Contact
Motion
Presence
Door
Acceleration
Illuminance
Smoke
Water
Sound
You wire up an instance of this device to two separate apps, and off you go.
