Review: Will work with Smarthings after one critical step - Works great with Smartthings V3 but you need to pair the sensor in a specific way as of 12/14/20. If you follow the instructions in the package or use Steven’s review it will not work correctly and the sensor will show closed when the door is open. To pair, first remove the lid and take the microchip/battery out of the plastic tube by squeezing the tube and pulling out the chip. Remove the plastic battery tab and then pull the battery completely out. Replace the battery and you will see the red light flash, which will eventually turn off. If there is no red light, twist the battery in place as this may clear any debri that was preventing the battery contact to the chip. Keep the chip out of the tube for now. Next step is to load the new Smartthings app and then hit the + button on the top right. Hit Device, then Aeotec brand, then Open/Closed Sensor, then Door/Window 7 Sensor, then Start, then Next in the hub/room screen. Hit the button several times until the red light starts flashing and the pairing hits 100%. The next window will ask you to scan a QR Code BUT HIT THE X ON THE TOP RIGHT TO EXIT THIS SCREEN!! Do not scan the QR Code or enter a code or your sensor will NOT work correctly. After hitting the X you will get a Exiting Secure Set-Up Message. Then you will get a warning that you are not using the highest security but ignore this warning by hitting OK and then rename the device and hit Done. Now the final step is to immediately remove the battery, wait 10 seconds and then replace it. Wait for the red light to turn off. Move the magnet piece over the top of the chip and you should see a successful open/closed indication on Smarthings. If it doesn’t work, take the battery out again, wait 10 sec and then replace it. Eventually it will start to work perfectly and you won’t have to touch it again. Place the chip back in the tube, replace the lid and install in your door/window. I just installed 8 sensors in most of our doors and windows and all of them work great after following this method. For some reason this sensor only works with the lower Smartthings security, but as an open/closed sensor this was not an issue for me. If Aeotec or Smartthings updates their software and this method no longer works, I will update my review. I hope this helps! Review: Description is wrong not a CR123 battery is really a CR2 battery - I bought these sensors as the description clearly states The battery is a CR123A which for me is a much better choice than a CR2 battery (better availability and cheaper) So I decided to swap over my existing Aeotec sensors to the latest gen. I opened the box and surprise surprise a CR2 battery :( The boxes come with the smart scan sticker on the box I wish they would keep the sticker inside the box now I have to keep these stickers forever so I can securely add these devices. They added instantly to my hubitat hub and switch very quickly. I'm hoping since they're Zwave 700 the battery might last a bit longer on these. I wouldn't have bought these if the real battery was listed. A waste of $250... ## Features - Zwave Door Sensor: Built in the Aeotec 700 series, Z-Wave Plus V2, which will deliver a significantly improved your experience by mandating the inclusion of SmartStart, a setup feature that will truly bring plug and play to the your smart home.

For this case, it would be best to reach out to Simplisafe to request a list of product compatibility of Z-Wave devices based on how they have integrated Z-Wave devices to get a better understanding of which products may or may not work. **Q: Gen 6 of this was supported by abode alarms but gen7 doesn’t show up as a door sensor. it only shows up as motion sensor. is there a fix for that?** A: Unfortunately, this may indicate that Abode Alarm has not added this product as a compatible device. You'll need to contact Abode Alarms to see if they can add this device as a compatible device to their system. **Q: Will this sensor work with the deco m9 plus integrated lo t hub?** A: The Deco M9 Plus is a purely WiFi hub, this product uses Z-Wave which will not work directly with the hub listed. **Q: Is this compatible with a Ring alarm system?** A: Hi, Thanks for the question.  Aeotec Recessed Door Sensor 7 will not work with Ring alarm system I’m afraid. We keep a list of Aeotec products and the hubs and software they work with; you can see that at https://aeotec.com/z-wave-gateways if you’d like to find out which systems Aeotec zwave door sensor works with. Please let us know if there are any further questions.

A waste of $250... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install, works with Home Assisstant, amost invisible when door is closed *by R***E on 18 January 2025* The two parts of the device were easy to install in a wooden door with modern weatherstrip. You'll need a 3/4" (US) drill bit and possibly a 1/16" as well-- the instructions don't mention it, but making (tiny) pilot holes for the screws on the sensor will make the job easier. The magnet part is more permanently secured with "white PVA glue" according to the manual. I had no idea what that was and googled it -- it's just good-old Elmer's School Glue. ;) The sensor is held in by the tiny screws to allow battery replacement. it's almost invisible when the door is closed which nicer (IMO) than having a little plastic goiter on your door and door frame with most other door sensors. Caveats: I'd agree with the installation instructions and doubt that it would work as well in a metal door, since the wireless transceiver is buried inside the door when installed. Also, if you have old-fashioned springy metal weatherstrip, you'll probably need to replace that with the newer felt/foam type -- otherwise you'd be drilling a hole thru the metal strip into the door frame to mount the magnet which doesn't sound like a great idea. Including it in the z-wave network with Home Assistant was simple by scanning the code on the box and the software did it's thing and the sensor appeared ready for use a few minutes later. Once it's included, you can do whatever automations you like or just watch the status on the HA overview page. (My system is a Raspberry Pi 3+ running Home Assistant and a Zooz ZST39 LR USB Z-wave controller.) I don't see any reason it wouldn't work with the other Z-wave compatible home controller systems. I haven't been using the device long enough to comment on the life of the replaceable but not rechargeable lithium cell. Overall, this is a nice door sensor for use when you'd prefer not to have to see it all the time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Zwave Door Sensor Aeotec Recessed Door Sensor 7, Z-Wave Plus Enabled Smart Door Sensor Battery Powered, SmartStart S2, Zwave Hub Required SmartThings Fibaro Home Centre 3 Hubitat - Zooz 800 Series Z-Wave Long Range S2 USB Stick ZST39 LR, Great for DIY Smart Home (Use with Home Assistant or HomeSeer Software) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/278637101-aeotec-zwave-door-sensor-recessed-door-sensor-7-z-wave](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/278637101-aeotec-zwave-door-sensor-recessed-door-sensor-7-z-wave) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
