Hello everyone! I’ve been diving into the world of SmartThings presence sensors lately, and I thought I’d share my experiences and some tips I’ve picked up along the way. 
First off, I’ve been using the old-style SmartThings presence sensors for quite some time now, and they’ve been a reliable addition to my smart home setup. However, recently I encountered an interesting challenge. After removing two of them about a year ago due to lack of use, I decided to reconnect them. But here’s the kicker—the hub (v2 UK) simply refuses to pair them again! The third sensor is still working perfectly fine, which is a bit puzzling. I’m wondering if this is due to changes in the system or if there’s a workaround to get these sensors back online. Any insights would be super helpful! 
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with integrating multiple brands of smart devices into my ecosystem. It’s been a learning curve, but the satisfaction of having everything work seamlessly is worth it. One thing I’ve found particularly useful is creating custom automations that combine inputs from different devices. For instance, using a helper input to control irrigation times dynamically has been a game-changer for managing my pool refills efficiently. 
I’d love to hear from others who’ve successfully integrated various smart devices or have tips on troubleshooting connectivity issues. Whether it’s about sensors, scripts, or just sharing some cool home automation hacks, let’s keep the conversation flowing! 
Cheers,
