Smartthings Garage Door Sensor Not Working

All the sensors are within 30 40 feet of the hub i have tried repairing the sensors turned off hub for 15 minutes but noting seems to correct this issue.

Smartthings garage door sensor not working.

Take take in between the manual open close and then trying to do it with the app. Not having much luck getting this to work at 10pm i want to check my garage door status and if open turn on a light. Just purchased smartthings hub v2 and 4 multi sensors. Set aside the smaller magnet portion of the sensor not needed for sensing garage door status orient the main sensor vertically with.

It looks like my current garage door opener is failing and as i replace it i would like to get something that works with smartthings. In looking at the works with smartthings page it seems that there isn t an opener that inherently connects to smartthings as there are only 2 add on devices that connect to it gocontrol and iris. Check the wires ensure they are connected nicely and then open close manually and then check open close from the app. Mount the garage door sensor vertically so that when the garage door is vertical it will read closed when horizontal it will read open to mount the multipurpose sensor in the correct orientation.

It is possible that through vibration the wire connection to the garage door opener may have worked loose over a year. 1 out of 3 found this helpful. Can t seem to get the checking to work although i can turn on the light with other automations. My hunch is an automation triggers only on a change.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Was this article helpful.
