Ring Alarm Outdoor Contact Sensor Amazon Refurb

Facts no Fluff: + Zwave sensor works very well + Works with SmartThings + Distance is about 900ft from the main hub, though there are additional zwave devices between to repeat signal + The sensor is slightly large due to 2 AA batteries but the benefit will be long life hopefully and are easy to replace and buy - the Magnet side of the sensor is thin and the magnet itself does not snap securely to the mounting base. +- to fix this, I put a support block of wood next to the magnet so it won't easily slide off. There should almost be no reason to remove the magnet once you install the sensor. - Because it easily removes from the mounting plate, this might cause the magnet to accidentally fall off which would be bad if it triggers alarms. (I believe other reviews allude to the same thing, having the magnet fall off) I would buy another knowing how well the zwave works, smartthings compatibility and its weather resistant design. Ring needs to redesign the housing. - - - Update 2/24 Found the large side of sensor almost falling off it's mount, assuming this is just from the gate opening and closing. The snaps are just not strong enough. I'll need to place something behind it as well. ++ Amazon customer service reached out to get more detail about this review. I appreciate that they do this. Still 3 stars, the sensor works but the mounting system is pretty bad.
