Hey all,
How can I configure my ST smartsense multi to be used in accelerometer setting for garage door? I don’t see this anywhere. I had it set this way in the old IDE but can’t find it in the new ST Advanced Web app. TIA

In the app, you can select it under settings for the device.
If you don’t see it there, let us know what driver is selected and what version the sensor is - I’ve seen at least one person with a first-generation multi sensor who wasn’t able to get it to recognize properly.

Here’s a driver someone created but I don’t see any responses confirming it works properly; after you try it you can offer feedback in that thread.
edge driver for 1st generation smartthings multipurpose sensor with preference for use in garage doors
It seems that no one decides to try to save these smartthings devices from the garbage to use them as tilt detectors.
I have no device to test and I can only see, with a new multipurpose sensor samjin, that there is no fatal error that stops the driver from working.
I have added the fingerprints, the profile with the garage door usage preference and I have adapted the “smartsense-multi” subdriver from the stock driver to my driver.
I have created a TEST version

If you aren’t already familiar, here are instructions on changing Edge drivers:
Sometimes the automatic join doesn’t work because a particular model needs a custom edge driver. Or the device manufacturer may tell you that using a custom edge driver will give you more features.
All custom edge drivers for zwave and zigbee devices are installed in the same way.
follow the invitation link to the channel page
select the edge driver that you want to download

choose the “driver“ option if it is there. (If it is not there, the “fingerprint” for your device might not be included in…
