I generally enjoy Monoprice products, but this one clearly needs to be pulled from the shelves. It absolutely reeks of a product that was rushed to market to capitalize on the IoT trend. 1. The battery is an odd and expensive size(CR123A). A smarter design could have included a single AA or AAA battery in the same form factor. 2. The instructions leave a lot to be desired. 3. The main gripe is that it just didn't work. After finally getting it paired, it just simply would not trigger a status update to my SmartThings hub. 4. The status options are "open" and "close." In my experience, this is one of the tell-tale signs of a cheap/low quality device. This is an acceptable status for a door/window sensor....but how is this ok for a shock sensor? How can a shock sensor be "open?" They didn't even take the time to change the status labels, what makes you think they actually did any sort of QA or UX testing? I knew some of these shortcomings before I purchased, but the ones I discovered once I received the product were enough to warrant a return. Very very annoyed and will probably steer clear of MonoPrice home automation products in the future.Read full review

I purchased this to use as a vibration sensor for my front load dryer and can't figure out how to use the vibration sensing function with my Veraplus Controller. It only has an on/off property under UI7. The directions do not state how to use that function and after reseaarching online, it may not work for what I need it for.
