For anyone interested I have the updated device type and posted it on my GitHub repo linked below, it has been working flawlessly with the hinge I bought from Lowes as mentioned above and I have removed and re-paired it several times to ensure that it works consistently.
@slagle and @jody.albritton, I was told by support to ping you on this so you are aware, this is just a simple update to the pre-existing “NYCE Open/Closed Sensor” device handler to add the new fingerprint. Just letting you know in case this is something that can be added to the existing code so that people don’t have to use a custom device handler.
