The motion sensor is a POS, I have a couple of these and they both failed after a while. Just use the Lowes iris, they are smaller, cheap (when on sale), much faster response time and I have a ton of them and none has failed on me yet.
The multi sensor is OK, But for open/close I prefer the sensitive strips. I only use the multi as a tilt sensor now.
Also, Best Buy has the following. Seems like a great deal on these sensors.
Leak Sensor [bestbuy.com] for $19.99
Motion Sensor [bestbuy.com] for $19.99
Multipurpose Sensor [bestbuy.com] for $19.99
Arrival Sensor [bestbuy.com] for $14.99
Smartthings Outlet [bestbuy.com] for $22.49

Listen to this guy here. The motion sensors do indeed suck. Find an alternative brand that is compatible. The water and multi sensors are great though.
For most users, the presence reliability using a phone is extremely unreliable. It's a known issue with ST and they have no clue how to fix it.
