I have some ecolonk z-wave door/window sensors connected to ST using the built-in z-wave door/window sensor device handler. All was well until recently, when the devices started double-reporting state changes. See below. Has something changed recently with that DTH?
Thanks, I’m not the only one then, wrote this in the Hub Firmware thread:
"Since the update to v17 my Z-Wave Plus Door/Window Sensors events now seems to be “motion” instead of “contact” and report “motion” instead of open close according to the event log.

Not the same issue, but something must have changed in the fw update. Z-wave plus door/window sensors are now Local instead of Cloud, which also made my sensors stop reporting as door window sensors…
I wonder if it’s possible that I have a local instance and a cloud instance of the DTH running simultaneously?
I tried to exclude and re-add one of my sensors without luck. Same issue still. If I change the DTH from the previously ok working “Z-Wave Plus Door/Window Sensor” to the Fibaro one or the “Door / Window Sensor Plus (SG)” one, the sensor now is back to reporting open/close, but then I’m back in the cloud and can’t benefit from local execution
I have the Ecolink Z-wave Plus tilt sensor for my garage door, and I’d say about 75% of the time it reports the status change 2-3 times. It’s been doing it since I bought it over a year ago. Same thing you see - first says “was closed”, second says “is closed”.
I contacted SmartThings support and they dug into it for an hour with me and we couldn’t resolve, trying all kinds of things and DTHs. I gave up and just live with it.
Also, the battery status for the device has been 99% for the last year I’ve had it. Only once did it ever change (to 80% about a month ago), then next time I looked it was back to 99%. shrug
