These devices aren’t certified for the zigbee home automation protocol (which is what SmartThings uses).

So what they do and why they do it is totally up to their manufacturer, and is designed to work with their proprietary controller.

As discussed in the “probably won’t work” thread, some of the community zigbee experts have already tried these devices and reported that communication could not be maintained.

If you can get further, that’s great.

> So, I recently purchased some Xiaomi Smart Cameras (Nest Cam Clones) which are amazing for the price by the way ($30) and I noticed they are now selling Zigbee door/window sensors for less than $10 a piece with free shipping. Xiaomi makes some nice quality stuff for the price. I just ordered 2 of these sensors, anyone have any idea how or where to begin looking to find a way to pair these to ST? Edit: apparently @jdroberts has stated these don’t work, as they are locked like the 1st Gen Lowes Iris sensors .
