I have a few of these, they work well. No instructions on box but the back SLIDES vertically off then tap 3 x to pair. To reset replace battery while holding same button.

I got a couple of these a few weeks ago. And they also sell a badged version of the Everspring ZWave usb stick for about 1/4 of the average price. Very cheap for zwave devices.

Hey, I think I will go for a couple of these and get the Everspring ZWave usb stick. Do you have it linked to a windows 10 PC? Do you know where I can find the drivers?

So it will work without any problems with SmartThings hub?

They seem to be standard ZWave protocol, so yes, I believe so.

Look worth a try at this price. I'll just have to avoid telling anyone the brand name if they ask.

Do you need a hub to talk to these? Anyway to talk to these without the hub?

You will need either a dedicated hub, be it a ZWave only such as a Vera or a multi protocol, such as Samsung Smartthings, or a usb stick to run with a home automation program on a raspberry /pc, such as the Everspring ZWave stick Foniacs also sell.

I'm new to this. What does one use these for?

It's simply a wireless break-the-magnetic-connection sensor to go on a door or window, but it'll speak to a ZWave controller. You have similar wireless/wired ones with security alarms, or newer home automation hubs.

Anyone know if you can get this to work with Philips Hue lights?

Hue lights use Zigbee protocol so answer is no, unless you have samsung smartthings hub which can control both z-wave and zigbee as a bridge between the two.
