Sylvania Lightify Motion Sensor

I got it working without a custom DTH. Here is what I did:

  • First I let the Smartthings App recognize it as a Thing

  • Then I logged into the IDE (Web interface of Startthings) and selected My Devices from the menu

  • Clicked on the device (Named “Thing”) to bring up the device properties page.

  • Scrolled all the way to the bottom and clicked on “Edit”

  • Changed the Type to SmartSense Motion Sensor

  • Changed the Label to Sylvania Motion Sensor

  • Clicked on Update to save the changes.

  • Went back to the ST App and selected Home.

The Sensor is now identified as a motion and temperature sensor. It detects motion within 30 seconds (no 3 minute wait like other sensors I have tried). The temperature is very accurate as well.
So far it has been working great for over 2 hours. If anything changes I will post an update.

Hope this works for you.
