Multisense, door lock, presence sensor

[JDRoberts]

I work with a text to speech reader, so groovy just isn’t workable for me, but, yeah, I think this would be pretty easy.

I do exactly this with a motion sensor in a box, so that a hand wave over the sensor unlocks the door. But I was able to do that just with a Hello Home Action.

FAQ: Full list of buttons and remotes confirmed to work with SmartThings [Not all devices listed work with the 2020 Platform]

I’m quadriparetic, in a wheelchair with limited hand function. So even using an app or a remote is a chore. I have a lot of non networked devices in my house that have touchless switches, including a soap dispenser, faucet, trash can that lifts the lid, and a wall switch. Work very well for me. So I wanted something similar for SmartThings. I have a Zwave deadbolt lock which is self locking, but the turn bolt on the inside of the door is hard for me to use when I want to let someone in. So I set up the motion detector in a box on the bookcase as a touchless switch. When I wave a hand over it, the deadbolt unlocks and the entry light comes on. So I can let someone in or out when I want, but the door doesn’t just unlock itself everytime someone walks down that hallway. I’m going to add…

In your case, you want to capture the accelerometer report, rather than motion detected.
