By request we're back again with another deal on a Xiaomi Smart Home Sensor. As usual Priority Shipping has been made free for this deal and will automatically be selected at checkout for Australia.

This sensor is designed to detect movement when there is a vibration, tilt or drop. It requires a Zigbee hub like the Aqara Gateway, works with the Aqara/Mi Home app, Apple HomeKit, has adjustable sensitivity and can be linked with other sensors for more advanced tasks.

For example when a vibration, tilt or drop is detected the Vibration Sensor can be set to trigger an alarm to the Aqara Hub with a notification sent to your phone. It could be put behind a cushion so that when you sit down the TV or fan turns on, or send a notification when a partially opened window is opened or closed further. It's also a good alternative to the door/window sensors as the sensitivity can be adjusted.

    have to be honest, have a bunch of these connected via xiaomi hub to HomeAssistant and not found them overly useful.

    Not sensitive enough to use for WashingMachine automation, if the washing machine is well balanced.

    I guess glass smash detection is an option.
    Or as suggested occupancy (bed/seat) detection

      From the pics on the GB page, you can also use them as a bookmark :P

      The SmartThings multi-purpose sensors are sensitive enough if you are running ST hub. I get spoken voice notifications when the washer or dryer is finished and it works on vibration. I also get door knock notifications when someone knocks on the front door, and the sensor is doing triple duty because it does open/close state, intrusion for security if im away and also does temp for some other automations.

      I got a bunch of the ST sensors for about $24, good value.

      • haru on 03/09/2020 - 16:28

        What are ST hubs/sensors?

        • steve-oz on 03/09/2020 - 19:08

          Smart things

      • davemurphy on 04/09/2020 - 23:23

        Which smart speaker do you use for voice notification? And how do you link them?

    • AustriaBargain on 03/09/2020 - 02:51

      Oh yeah, a light that comes on when the washing machine stops moving would be brilliant.

      • walaj on 03/09/2020 - 12:03

        I'm using power sensor to detect when the machine has finished. Then, assuming post 8am and pre 9pm, and someone home, it will broadcast on all the googlehome speakers "the washing machine has finished. please empty it", and then repeat every hour until the power is tuned off.

        • davemurphy on 04/09/2020 - 23:25

          Which power sensor do you have and how to get the trigger to broadcast to google home speakers?
          From what I know there's no easy way to broadcast google home from other smart device.

          • NigelTufnel on 05/09/2020 - 06:45

            @davemurphy: I imagine with home assistant. Pretty straight forward using Google tts.

            • walaj on 07/09/2020 - 10:31

              @NigelTufnel: Yup - home assistant.

              I'm using a xiaomi zigbee power adaptor.

    • flatwhitepls on 03/09/2020 - 08:09

      I get around this using a shelly 1pm hooked to the outlet and triggering notifications when energy consumption drops. But again please make sure its installed by a certified electrician. Shelly 1pm is au approved.

      There are also other smart outlets you can use but i am not sure with its reliability within home assistant.

  • Hargain Bunter on 02/09/2020 - 22:00

    Thanks Clear, got a couple! Thinking of putting one in my letter box to get notifications when I have mail, and one on my washing machine to notify when a load has finished.

    Edit: just saw the comment above, might need to rethink the one for the washing machine.

    • snvl on 02/09/2020 - 22:04

      I have one of the d-link hs110 With home assistance for the washing machine.

      • Hargain Bunter on 02/09/2020 - 22:19

        I bought a couple of HS110s and was disappointed they didn’t do notifications of power drop with their app. Missed out of the Pi4 today but will have to keep an eye out for the next one and then I’ll have more of a look at HA

    • CacheHunter on 02/09/2020 - 22:26

      I'd give the Xiaomi zigbee power sockets a go. I have them connected to my dehumidifiers with HA and get an email when the dehumidifiers cut out due to the water tank being full.
      I suspect you could do something similar for the current drop when your washing machine finishes.

      • walaj on 02/09/2020 - 23:10
        +2

        make sure the socket can handle the power of the machine.

        Plus the sockets are Chinese power prongs. Whilst identical to AUS (minus insulation on the earth), the are 'upside down' and so may block the socket switch…

        • Hargain Bunter on 03/09/2020 - 21:34

          Thanks guys, will see how these ones go, and think about the Xiaomi plugs!

  • kuripot on 02/09/2020 - 22:07

    I will test if zigbee will reach my mailbox and this will survive this summer… my temp and door sensors on garage still working after 2 summers facing west.

      I would be more worried about the rain. My mail get soaked, maybe it time for a new mailbox.

      • Smigit on 02/09/2020 - 23:16

        The sensor could be in a zip locked bag or similar to protect it.

      Is it really though? Have you factored in the GST they add after you click checkout and do they also offer priority shipping for free? No you haven't.

      $11.95 US inc GST with 24-49 business day shipping in your example.

      • Aussybob on 02/09/2020 - 22:20

        so no gst through GB? OK- fair enough.

  • Rogerwilco on 03/09/2020 - 01:25

    So will this work with any Zigbee compatible hub brand or only specific ones?

    • walaj on 03/09/2020 - 12:02

      in theory yes. ymmv. I have one connected to a HUSBEE USB stick

    • RavenMad on 03/09/2020 - 14:27

      Probably won't work with the Hue bridge as apparently they use a proprietary implementation of Zigbee. May not work with the Ikea one either. Should be ok with Conbee, Hubitat, Vera, etc though.

  • paveln on 03/09/2020 - 02:43

    Price is showing as $18.81 each (trying to buy two) after I apply the coupon.

      I have Wireless Sensor Tag on my garage door to remind me if it is open. Installed it after I accidentally left my garage door partially open and got robbed. Sounds like one of these could be set-up to give a warning if your garage door is open or closed or left open too long.

    • NigelTufnel on 03/09/2020 - 10:01

      According to the description protecting your valuable paintings and calligraphy is a good use case…

      Are you letting PayPal do their currency conversion? Because they'll charge a fee. Most people have a currency conversion fee free card and use that with PP to get the exchange rate price.

      • 1Kenobi on 04/09/2020 - 07:35

        That’s what it totals in the cart before I try to pay

    I purchased a xiaomi smartlight on 13th may. Still waiting. Emailed them few weeks back and they suggest wait a bit more. So I am still waiting for past 4 1/2 months

      It was posted 3 months and 21 days ago with shipping in even less time and not 4 1/2 months. It's a good thing we learn from our mistakes and instead of offering free untracked airmail, we offer free tracked priority shipping!

      As mentioned in that deal, people can request refunds and they will get them. I'll make sure of that. People only this week have also started receiving their orders.

        Great. Thanks for the correction. You managed to cut the days down by 24 days in that correction. Great service. Trouble is I still haven't heard from them since 3 months and 21 days and now i am taking your advice and I have asked for a refund.

  • JakeTheMuSS on 03/09/2020 - 09:54

  • NopeNopeNope on 03/09/2020 - 10:08

    you guys need to figure out a way to order multiples in an order its annoying having to make multiple orders but anyway.

    Purchased 2, already have a xiaomi zigbee bridge so for $15 a pop will now get the following added to my house, phone notification when washing machine finishes and google voice alerts and phone notifications if the freezer door has been left opened (happened 3 times now and it ices over).

    • NigelTufnel on 03/09/2020 - 15:03

      How will it tell if the freezer door has been left open? Won't it just tell if there has been movement in the door?
      Or does 'tilt' also mean on a door axis, not just a vertical vs horizontal axis (like a garage door).

      • snvl on 04/09/2020 - 09:48

        you need one of the door sensors for that

        • NigelTufnel on 04/09/2020 - 13:46

          Yeah, that's what I thought. This will tell you that there's been movement in the door, but not the position, unless the door tilts the sensor from vertical to horizontal like a garage door would.

  • denxz on 03/09/2020 - 10:35

    not too sure what need to get to make Aqara Temperature Humidity Sensor Works?
    is it Xiaomi Aqara Cube Zigbee Smart Controller or something hub like Aqara Gateway.
    Please advise and thanks in advance.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 03/09/2020 - 10:42

      Gateway

      • denxz on 03/09/2020 - 10:44

        Thanks Clear..
        Any special bargain for gateway?

      • ekwipt on 03/09/2020 - 12:58

        There’s a new Aqara zigbee 3 gateway available in China, can you get these because I can’t find anywhere that will ship to Australia. The xiaomi gateway is rubbish you have to connect to mainland China server which makes no sense here as all the product deals are in Mandarin and I can’t use my Aussie Roborock on it properly (maps don’t function properly).

        I personally find Xiaomi very frustrating with multiple product lines from different brands

  • Genepi on 04/09/2020 - 10:45

    • ndenham on 04/09/2020 - 11:10
      +1

      Probably not, unfortunately these generally require one of the more fully feature hubs like Hubitat or SmartThings or HomeAssistant.

    • NopeNopeNope on 09/09/2020 - 10:59

      I ended up having to buy the Xiaomi aqara hub, I had a vera controller that had ZigBee but it didn't work. Still worked out cheaper as 10 to 15 a sensor is a big saving over what I previously had been using.

      The hub has an RGB which I use as part of my ambient lighting scene downstairs which made me feel better.

      Also I just use the hub as a bridge to home assistant, and home assistant does the smarts.
