Product Information

Works as a key finder: If you clip the Arrival Sensor to your keys, you’ll always be able to find them. As soon as you misplace your keys, simply open the SmartThings app and tap the “keys” icon. Then the Arrival Sensor will begin emitting a beeping sound to guide you to your keys.
