I wanted more zwave motion sensors for my SmartThings home security setup , and these Ring branded ones are the cheapest ones available. Pairing was very easy: pull off the plastic tab, hold the button for 10 sec to put in pairing mode, and add it like any other zwave device within SmartThings app. No custom drivers required, works immediately once paired. Only minor con is that the adhesive tape is terrible, but a non-issue since I have a strong double sided tape that I used for all my other sensors.
Thank you for your feedback
