After multiple requests over the last couple of weeks I've managed to secure a deal on these Aqara Temperature and Humidity sensors in a pack of 2.

Like other Aqara sensors they can be setup to send you alerts or trigger actions with other smart home devices. Examples of use is that when the temperature/humidity reaches a certain level you can have your humidifier/air purifier turn on, or have it send you an alert to your phone.

It requires the use of a Zigbee hub and it's compatible with many brands including Aqara, Xiaomi, Conbee, SmartThings and more. It also supports Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa and Home Assistant.

    Why are these so expensive now? Back in 2017 I paid $7.99USD from Gearbest. In 2018 I paid $5.99USD and then $6.99 from Gearbest.

      The same reason why Gearbest went bankrupt. If you sell under cost and that's your only strategy you'll go under.

      In saying that wholesale Xiaomi prices (much like everything else) has gone up in price in recent years anyway due to the popularity.

        Oh I wasn't aware they went bankrupt. I'm happy to bankrupt Geekbuying too - please ask them for a $4.99 deal :)

          Oh trust me I've been trying for weeks. This is cheaper than buying a single one from Aqara direct though.

    These are absolute puss if you want to use them in HA with a Conbee2. Hard pass

    • ragnaboy2010 on 17/08/2021 - 21:38

      What's wrong with them?

        Probably because they don't follow the Zigbee standard protocol - they are sometimes problematic with Smartthings as well. Fortunately I'm having a reasonable run with them. But occassionally I have to trigger them manually to re-pair (just put Smartthings into 'Add new device' scan and then click the little button on the sensor until you see 3 quick flashes of the LED.

      I have two of them and they've been working perfectly with a conbee 2. Have it setup with HomeAssistant to automatically turn on and off the bathroom fans based on humidity.

      I've never had issues with mine in HA with Conbee II. I have probably ten or so.

      • Astronaut Joe on 18/08/2021 - 08:54

        Genuinely curious. What do you use ten for?

        I have two: one in the wine fridge (because the previous wine fridge died and we didn't realise for some time because it is buried in the spare room and our quaffers live in the kitchen), and another in the second bedroom because I couldn't think of anything better to do with it,

        • t3chshopper on 01/09/2021 - 15:12

          I have them in each of the enclosed sections of my entertainment unit which contains my media server, home automation server, network video recorder, consoles and networking gear, and they fire off an alert if they get too hot.

          I have a similar setup in the network cabinet in my garage.

          I also have one in each bedroom and living area of a medium sized family home, plus the semi-finished crawl space in the ceiling where we store things, plus the garage and laundry. No real automations, but helpful for reporting and tracking kids' bedroom temps in more extreme parts of summer and winter.

    • sjp770 on 17/08/2021 - 23:04

      Mine have been working fine on Conbee II and HA - not good enough for live updates to switch fans based on humidity but they do update enough to be accurate.

    • zorrt on 18/08/2021 - 07:11

      How come? Mine seems to be working fine in HA with conbee2 and deconz.

  • ebenezer7 on 17/08/2021 - 23:04

    I have 5 of these. Good kit.

    • BigLeviathan on 23/08/2021 - 20:03

      Just ordered one to automate the bathroom fan.

      The fact you have 5, can you please let me know what sort of automation been doing?
      Thanks

        The first 2 were for lighting. I had one in the kitchen that made the LEDs over the bench come on. The other made the LED strip in the lounge glow red if you walked into the lounge at night, and the room lights were off.
        The other 3 are new, and waiting for assignment. I'll probably use them for lighting. e.g. Turn garage lights on when come in, turn the lights on the stairs on at night when you walk up the stairs.

        • BigLeviathan on 24/08/2021 - 21:15

          Thanks for your reply; the one on sale is a temperature and humidity sensor though? not a motion sensor?

            @BigLeviathan: Oops. Yeah for temperature sensors I don't have much automation.
            I made a project with a little ePaper display. The driver listens to MQTT messages to update the inside/outside temperature, so I have an automation rule that periodically sends the values of a couple of my temperature sensors to it.

  • Dapper on 18/08/2021 - 00:35

    Never had an issue with these on my Conbee 2. Works brilliantly.

    I have 8 Aqara sensors for various purposes and have them rigged up to node red automations with home assistant. The notifications push to my phone almost instantaneously.

    Haven't skipped a beat!

    I even have the reed switch one in my letterbox so I know when a parcel arrives.

    Very handy!

    I have been watching out for these after reading some of the comments on the Xiaomi one's. A bit better priced through aliexpress.

    @Clear is there any chance of another deal on the Aqara window/door sensors soon?
