🏠 Samsung SmartThings GP-U999SJVLBAA Magnetic Motion Sensor (White) - Advanced Home Security Device, Hygienic Design - 1 Count (Pack of 1) Review

I ended up just opening the device, removing the battery and putting it back in, and everything has been working fine ever since. He never falls. He notices movement immediately.

The mailbox is made entirely of metal; the motion sensor is attached to the back of the box and held to the device by a magnet; very easy assembly, simply snap on without bracket. When the mailbox is opened, the sensor detects movement and sends a notification to my Smartthings Hub, which…
