I get that you’re using something with SmartThings that is working for you, and I must admit to being surprised because not a lot of people do find SmartThings to be a reliable security system), but I would suggest perhaps you would be happier with a stand-alone security system integrated to HE instead.
You’re too late for the super low price deals, but Ring Alarm is still priced great right now for what you get. When integrated with HE, you get an awesome system that works with Alexa too. You can even integrate your existing contact sensors with it and trigger off its state.
This community integration works incredibly well, but do heed the warnings.
