@waynespringer79. Looks like it changed. Now I know it is able to communicate with the HUB

Dunno, although I do have several smart things motion sensors that report either 0 or 1% battery routinely. But they report activity regularly so until they don't I myself don't worry about battery levels.
I have the same problem here after going through two Samsung devices. It's stuck on wet. Is there a better water sensor in the market? I convinced it is a Samsung issue after going through two with the same issue..
Eventually I got this thing working. Been working ever since... I think. 
And how did you do that?
It was a while ago.
I think I ended up taking the top of an using a hair dryer and letting it sit for a couple days.
Something like that.
They did issue a firmware update a few weeks ago if you have, or know someone who has, a SmartThings hub to update it. I’m not sure of what the update was supposed to fix. I have 2 of these that have saved me from flooding due to my kids putting too much detergent in the washer a couple times now and they are still working perfectly, so I have been hesitant to try updating them.

I can NEVER resist a good firmware flashing session, so I paired my 2 samsung moisture sensors back to ST and the firmware updated from 00000011 to 00000014. The batteries took about an 8% life hit due to the update. It's been 3 days and both sensors are working fine, along with a V4 multi motion sensor I upgraded. I tried to upgrade my V5 multi motions but there wasn't an update available.
Not sure if I gained anything, but it was fun and didn't break anything-yet-ALTHOUGH 1 of the sensors, after being paired back, post upgrade, to HE and included in HSM flood alerts and actively reporting temperature every 6 mins, did not set off HSM when I wet it, I had to re-discover all over again, and now it's working with reporting water.
In the past with ST, i had their firmware upgrades trash 2 sensors, so there's that.
If it ain't broke don't fix it-ain't for me!

Does Hubitat support updating the firmware on these devices? The process to unpair from HE to ST then back to HE is a total life suck especially if you have many rules setup.
Does Samsung make the firmware publicly available?
Good question. If no, then my question is void I guess...
Not really. Hubitat needs a zigbee firmware update process like @bcopeland’s zwave firmware updater. But it still relies on firmware being available.
I have seen Sylvania/Ledvance post links to firmware updates, but that’s it. I haven’t tried asking, but not liking my chances for getting firmware from Samsung. Probably be a cold day in a hot place before they give it up.
