New code added for the AQARA Sensor this code was customized for Davemac

price:AU$6.45 / US$4.99
coupon:davemac1030

Limited to first 500 stock , 3 times per account, AU and NZ only.

The first code is for the Original Xiaomi version, the second code for the Xiaomi Aqara version here: https://www.gearbest.com/access-control/pp_626703.html (second code used up)

I don't know of any differences between the two except design (and 1ct), if you know of any, let me know in the comments.

You will need the Xiaomi Home Gateway to make use of these.

Both codes are limited to 3 times per account, AU, NZ only. 300 units Original, 200 Aqara.

Check out in AUD, the conversion Gearbest uses is better than the official USD rate (which would cost you about AUD 6.50).

Thanks to the Gearbest rep for the codes. Very responsive and always willing to knock a $ or two off.

    I'm not sure if this is a difference, but the aqara version lists the CR1632 battery as 'built in', so I'm not sure if it can be replaced. The older Xiaomi model has the same battery (I own one) and it is straight forward to replace it.

    Perhaps someone with the aqara version can advise?

    • fefris on 28/10/2017 - 23:33

      theres a picture on the site with it open, battery is removable on both.

      • k0ka2 on 29/10/2017 - 01:26

        The PCB in the original version is easy to remove from the housing allowing you to fine solder two wires for external 2xAA/AAA batteries connection as the original CR1632 battery is not so common. Note: Need to be nominal 3V not 3.7V 18650 Li battery.

      Seems like

      Aqara:bug with battery display (always sits on 0%) has easy press button to pair

      Original: pinhole to pair no issues with battery reading

      • bdl on 29/10/2017 - 07:48

        That Aqara "bug" is only when using with Smartthings

    • sschen on 12/11/2017 - 23:12

      Looks like the Aqara version has a light sensor, whereas the Xiaomi version doesn't?

      EDIT: Please ignore, was thinking of the Human Sensor.

  • fefris on 28/10/2017 - 23:36

    shadeal03 makes the price INCREASE on the Aquara version, not decrease…..

    • gadget on 28/10/2017 - 23:42

      You probably ordered more than 1 so the price on the rest reverts to non sale prices.

    • CacheHunter on 28/10/2017 - 23:42

      Are you logged in? I'm getting a current flash sale price f A$8.90, which comes down to A$6.35 with that coupon.

    • Trip on 29/10/2017 - 00:02

      I had to check out 3 times. 1 per checkout to get them for the 6.36 price.

  • gadget on 28/10/2017 - 23:38

    Discount on the xiaomi version only applies to one unit - not particularly useful. Fortunately the current flash price is $7.62 which is still much less than their normal price

    • CacheHunter on 28/10/2017 - 23:45

      If you have half a dozen accounts, you can always put 6 orders through.

      • gadget on 29/10/2017 - 00:03

        Lol and so it does - just put another couple of orders in.

        • Bippz01 on 29/10/2017 - 00:40

          I only take what I need.
          U can have a go…

  • lostn on 28/10/2017 - 23:38

    What are some applications for it? What does the Gateway allow it to do?

    • CacheHunter on 28/10/2017 - 23:48
      +1

      Gateway lets it talk to the xiaomi servers so you can setup rules for it to control other xiaomi smart devices (bulbs, switches, etc). A little, but not much, extra work and software such as "home assistant" and you can avoid the xiaomi servers and control almost anything that can be controlled from a computer. eg get it to send you a text message if someone opens the door while you're not home, or during the night…

    • johnyBgood on 29/10/2017 - 06:49

      This is very handy to check if any of your doors/windows or garage is left open. You can also trigger an alarm at night time if they are opened. You can send notifications to your phone as well so you know if the kids/mrs are home. Here's how my Mi home app looks like:

          Good on you, I use it as well together with this handy app and sensor to check it remotely wherever I am.

      • lostn on 29/10/2017 - 15:56

        How does it know your door is open? Is it motion sensing? Or gyroscope/accelerometer?

        • k0ka2 on 29/10/2017 - 16:03

          The sensor is a magnetic reed switch set. Normally you will place the magnet on the movable door and the sensor with the reed switch and electronics on the door frame. Since this set is so small it doesnt really matter.

        Your whole house is Xiaomi. I hope they aren't spying on you. You put a lot of trust in this chinese company.

          They can probably get more data from facebook and google than spying on my door opening and closing.

        • lostn on 30/10/2017 - 11:32

          @jominix: That's not the only device you have though. You've got cameras and stuff too.

        • johnyBgood on 30/10/2017 - 12:11
          +2

          @lostn:

          Yeah, cameras are pointed outside the house so no big privacy issue for me if they want to watch cars passing by.

          Temp sensor, I don't think they are interested in knowing how cold/warm my house is.

          Smart Lights, don't see any value for them to spy when my lights are turned on/off.

          Rice cooker - they can come over to my house if they want to join me for dinner.

          Smart outlet, unless they have put a bomb somewhere to trigger a fire, then I don't see it as a big risk.

          Besides, these devices are used by millions of people in China and over the world, so if there are issues with their product, it could have already been exposed. I know I'm taking a risk at my privacy but same as everyone else who uses IoT devices or social media as such. At least if I've decided to disconnect and get rid of it, it doesn't cost me a fortune, unlike other alternative products that do the same thing but costs 5x more than Xiaomi's product.

  • nobby148 on 29/10/2017 - 00:35

    I have the 1st gen on still in its box its a handy product but come to think of it you would have to replace lots of the batteries if you were to fit out your house with them LOL. even if it was exterior doors thats still quite hefty

    • jackwoz on 29/10/2017 - 01:23

    Can these be set up without the Gateway?

    • [Deactivated] on 29/10/2017 - 09:59

      This is using Zigbee to communicate
      So you will need a Gateway to have it working
      Alternative to Xiao Mi Gateway is Samsung Smartthings Hub

      • magic8ballgag on 29/10/2017 - 10:41

        So it doesn't require the Xiaomi Gateway, just some form of central hub?

        • jackwoz on 29/10/2017 - 12:16

          Im not 100% but as long as your hub supports Zigbee you should be ok, but to be honest for $25 i would just get the Xiaomi gateway just in case
