New Items in the SmartThings Shop

We’ve updated the SmartSense Motion sensor to include a few new features and lowered its price to $49. This newest version can detect temperature as well as movement, and comes with a mounting plate and screws for those who wish to attach it to a wall. It also includes a CR123 battery which allows for a longer battery life than our previous version–and if you do need to change the battery, you can do so without needing a screwdriver.

You Can:

1.  Trigger lights to automatically turn on when you enter a room
2.  Receive an immediate alert if unexpected motion is detected while you’re away or asleep
3.  Save energy by automatically turning off lights and electronics in areas that aren’t being used
4.  Set up a flood light to turn on when your car enters the driveway
5.  Automatically turn on a night-light when your child gets out of bed
6.  Know the temperature in any area of your home in Celsius or Fahrenheit
7.  Trigger your smart thermostat, A/C unit, or portable heater to automatically adjust when people come and go
