These premium articles provide clear and easy instructions for installing SmartThings Edge Drivers. Your subscription grants access to over 30 articles, each with detailed steps for sourcing and installing both custom and stock Edge Drivers. This decision was not made lightly. I incur significant costs for maintaining a website and domain, and this fee helps to offset these expenses. Additionally, a great deal of time and effort goes into researching, writing, and providing links to various SmartThings Edge Drivers. If the $10 fee is a barrier, please note that you can source some drivers directly from the device manufacturer. Alternatively, you are welcome to conduct your own driver research on the SmartThings Community website at https://community.smartthings.com For a more convenient approach, you can access my comprehensive Edge Driver articles on my website at https://www.budshomeautomation.com ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ 00:00 Intro 00:11 Demonstrating the Alexa Routine 00:24 Installing the Sensor 01:52 Testing the Sensor 02:13 Aeotec Range Extender 7 03:21 The Alexa Routine 04:34 Outro ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ #RingOutdoorSensor #RingMailboxAlert #OutdoorContactSensor
