Smartthings Garage Door Sensor Not Working

Take take in between the manual open close and then trying to do it with the app.

Smartthings garage door sensor not working.

My hunch is an automation triggers only on a change. It is possible that through vibration the wire connection to the garage door opener may have worked loose over a year. 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. The problem is sometimes the sensors don t seem to change status from open close.

Smartthings classic app only if you re using the multipurpose sensor on your garage door it may not be mounted properly. Just purchased smartthings hub v2 and 4 multi sensors. 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. Can t seem to get the checking to work although i can turn on the light with other automations.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Set aside the smaller magnet portion of the sensor not needed for sensing garage door status orient the main sensor vertically with. Check the wires ensure they are connected nicely and then open close manually and then check open close from the app. Make sure you have the flat larger face of the sensor mounted on the door vertically without the magnetic contact.

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. 1 out of 3 found this helpful.
