Pro Tips
Comment below with any questions you may have and we'll do our best to assist you!
1. Why does my Visonic Window/Door Sensor continue showing up as a "thing"? I cannot get it to pair properly.
If your Visonic Window/Door Sensor continues to show up as a "thing" in discovery mode, this usually indicates that the device was put into discovery mode before the device handler was created. Please follow the Connect to SmartThings instructions above in the order they are written up to step 8. At that time, (1) remove the “thing” from your SmartThings app and (2) reset the sensor according to the instructions in our Troubleshooting section below.
2. I completed the Connect to SmartThings instructions and put the device into discovery mode but my sensor is not seen by the SmartThings App.
If this happens, please try to reboot your sensor according to the instructions in our Troubleshooting section below.
3. I can't sign in because my hub isn't showing up on My Locations in the Developer API. What can I do?
If you find your hub is not listed under My Locations, its likely you're not using your current login and password info from your SmartThings App. Please create a new account using your SmartThings App login information.
Having trouble connecting your device? Follow these steps to remove your device in SmartThings and reboot the sensor.

I have 17 of these units and they constantly go unavailable. Removing the battery and adding a thing on the hub re-connects them but they are far from reliable. |

Bought 5. Installed 2. 1st one worked just over a month bore batter died. Put in a new battery and now 12.hours later it's reporting 33%. Something is causing the battery to die really fast. This is on a door the doesn't get used so not sure what's going on. |

Is there any way to stop the temperature readings from constantly showing up in the activity feed in notifications? I don't need them to show up there at all, just when I look at the device in the app itself. Thanks! |

I am struggling to pair this sensor with my hub. Have followed the instructions to create the device handler and copied code. Also tried resetting the sensor with the tamper switch held for 4 seconds after inserting the battery. No luck. Can someone help.

Hello. I bought 2 sensors. I followed the above instructions. The 1st sensor works just fine. The second sensor was able to pair and I can see it in smart things but still is not working. The temperature says 32 and the device is not responding. Also, even though it is paired, the red light is still flashing. Any ideas? I tried rebooting and defaulting the sensory. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times.

Anyone having these sensors going "unavailable"? I have 2 of these sensors and they work fine for a week but then it started going "unavailable" in the Smartthings app. Resetting it gets the sensor working again. If the sensor is sitting right next to the hub I don't appear to have a problem. The "problem sensor" is about 10 feet away. I replaced the batteries in both sensors and they do the same thing. The primary use of this sensor is to notify me when a door is opened when I am away from the house. The sensor is no longer reliable for this function since I don't know when it will fail. Also, it is getting to be an inconvenience to reset these sensors. I don't have any problems with the Smartthings sensors and I have some of them that are over 20 feet away from the hub.

These directions were great, and the GitHub driver installed easily. I believe Samsung made an update, and now you need to set the driver to be "Published". If it's "Unpulished" it does not seem to work. If you have only one hub, you may need to go to "My Locations" first so SmartThings finds it. |
Great question! Please feel free to email info@mydigitaldiscount.com with more details and our tech support team will be happy to help you out.
