Not 100% true, he can create the open and close buttons. It just wont show status.

@fascicle agreed but why would anyone want to do that?  

---

Incidentally, I've been getting pissed at my sensors as it keeps reporting "closing" and never closes (sometimes). I've been thinking about going back to open and close. I agree though, sensors is better (normally)

---

@fascicle I switched a tilt sensor for a contact sensor. It would randomly day it's open when it isn't.  

---

Contact or tilt senor is not required. You can still set it up within ST (utilizing the app I sent on the other message). Otherwise, use the MyQ app on google play, that works fine if you get everything setup.  

---

@roughandtumble you can control it without another sensor in ST. It helps to have the sensor to know what state the door is in.  

---

@roughandtumble just depends if you want access to your smart home stuff in 1 app or multiple apps.  

---

@roughandtumble it is if you buy another sensor.  

---

@roughandtumble either a tilt sensor or a contact sensor. Cost depends on which of the many sensors out there you choose. I think a ST contact sensor is around 17 bucks.  

---

@cimon get a tilt sensor if you want to automate it. Also you can use Alexa routines to geofence it.  

---

@weakness209 You can use a contact sensor too.

@cimon true
