Maybe I just crawled out from under a rock, but I can't seem to find any ST devices for sale. I really like the ST motion sensors. They work well and I really like the mounting system. I can't find these for sale. They used to be all over Amazon, but now they aren't even listed there. Any suggestions where I can find these?
There is a possibility that Samsung will stop manufacturing SmartThings products and instead license it out to third-party companies. Best place to find their products at the moment is the Samsung online store but supply may be low.

I just looked at the Samsung online store and they want $40.49 for one sensor. They use to be $18.00. I am not paying that much. I could get a ZooZ 4 in 1 for that money. Ridiculous.
Bummer. The motion and water sensors are my favorites if I'm honest.
Same with their contact sensors that have tilt and acceleration.

I have had good luck with Zooz 4-in-1 sensors. Have 4 of them. Using rechargeable batteries as the photo batteries are expensive. Rechargeable batteries will report they are ok then drop to nothing. I swap these batteries every other month. Some people don’t like rechargeable batteries but I have had no issues other than the battery reporting.
Current guess is that it's all going to third-party licensees. Aeotec is already taking over the hub.
In the EU. No announcement yet for other regions.

I have 2 of the Zooz 4 in 1 and have nothing to say bad about these. Except they are very expensive. I caught them on sale at Monoprice like 2 for $30.00 and couldn't resist. It seems to me that all the devices are getting more expensive except for the Aqara devices which won't work with my mesh. Well que sera sera.
Every other month?
That seems excessive.
Is this partially due to the S0 issue with the 4-in-1?
same here i actually tossed them along with removed zwave non plus devices( we have too much crap around the house) and i already have two boxes of switches and sensors. They went dead within weeks. and were way too chatty on the hub.
i really like the Wyze motion sensors. if you have a RPi or linux server, use [RELEASE] Alpha WyzeSense Integration. $6 for a motion sensor

I change the sensor batteries every other month as a routine, not because they are discharged. Similarly, I replace the battery in both of my vehicles every 3 years to avoid a dead battery. As an ASE CMAT L1 MRRT, I have seen what stress a discharged battery can cause in regards to a hectic schedule. And I get the batteries for cost and my labor is free. 
Preventive maintenance so to say.
I was looking into changing the battery in my 2017 MINI. Do you know, the battery needs to be programmed? It's a BMW, after all. I've heard estimates of 400 bucks. Crazy.

I found a Ecolink multi-sensor on Amazon that looked identical to the smartthings one. The device driver for the smartthings worked perfectly.
All of the Wyze Sense device are out of stock as well... maybe because the Wyze Cam v3 probably will not support the USB Bridge for the sensors? Just a guess.

Most newer Euro vehicles have adaptive charging systems. I am not familiar with them all. Not just any battery can be registered. Most scan tools require a number from the top of the battery be entered to proceed with the registration.
If the stealership is replacing the battery, they usually get an hour’s labor to register the battery. The registration process takes a few minutes, not an hour.

Crap, this is disappointing. I'm glad I picked up some contact sensors a while ago, but kinda bummed I can't get more now
Looks like a new generation is being created...
Update: Found another post where Wyze mentions that the new Wyze Sense devices will include a standalone Bridge device.

Even replacing in kind, apparently the battery has to be registered. I bought a scan tool that apparently can do that, but you still have to buy the battery from the dealer, not just the AutoZone down the road.

While at least v1 had identical hardware, the v2 Zooz version of this sensor is physically different, including the most notable difference of v2 having for a single CR123A (and much better battery life in my experience) compared to two AAs or AAAs (been so long I forget which). Additionally, both generations have Zooz's own firmware. I'm not sure if many Monoprice now has the same hardware again (I'd assume they use the same whitelabel OEM), but the latter would still be true.
Just noting since I really like the v2 from Zooz (as far as Z-Wave motion sensors go), while the v1 almost completely turned me off from the company. 
Never a huge fan of Monoprice Z-Wave ;they uaually don't know anything about the firmware on the devices they're selling), but sometimes the price is right.
