Cheap price on this smart window/door sensor that's designed to detect when a door or window has been opened or closed. It can be configured to do a number of actions when a door/window is opened/closed including sending a notification to your phone, turning on a smart light as you enter the room and more.

This sensor requires a smart home gateway and there's two versions available. One that's compatible with Zigbee/Tuya and one compatible with Tuya only (WiFi). Like other Zigbee/Tuya sensors both are compatible with Home Assistant and it's powered by 2 AAA batteries (not included).

    After some more ZigBee sensors. Should be pretty good battery life then if 2xAAA? (though bulky).

    Also the obligatory question, works with HA via Conbee? (I assume tho if you say is HA compatible any hub should work)

    • Clear on 22/01/2023 - 20:18

      Should be pretty good battery life then if 2xAAA? (though bulky).

      Yep. Certainly more affordable longer term if you use rechargeable AAA.

      Also the obligatory question, works with HA via Conbee? (I assume tho if you say is HA compatible any hub should work)

      AFAIK yes. You can make pretty much anything work with HA. I have similar Tuya sensors from another brand (Moe) working fine with HA. I haven't used a Conbee gateway before though.

      since it is zigbee, it will have better battery life, but shorter range (up to 30m)

      wifi will have worse battery life but better range (up to 100m).

      I would buy depending where you are putting it.

      i put the wifi ones on my detached garage and on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the house. zigbee on the 1st floor.

      • giovannip on 22/01/2023 - 20:38

        I've bought a few zigbee routers to put around the house just to help with extending range. Anything that is permanently powered generally acts as a router (weird name cause it sounds like a hub but it's more like an extender).

        Think lightbulbs, power strips, power meters, etc..

        • CacheHunter on 23/01/2023 - 05:51

          Theoretically, Hue Bulbs should work as 'routers' (which as you say really means extenders), as do Xiaomi sockets. I've had trouble with some some other ZigBee devices though. What have you found works?

          • iMacca on 23/01/2023 - 10:31

            @CacheHunter: I've had a Hue bulb as a router for a while now but have had constant problems with it disconnecting and messing up a bunch of other things as a result. Yesterday I replaced it with an Ikea bulb and configured directly HA via Zigbee, so will see if it works any better.

            • encoderboy on 23/01/2023 - 13:02

              @iMacca: I bought a couple of these recently: https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/tradfri-signal-repeater-3040041…

              They've made my Zigbee network far more robust, without depending on whether someone accidentally turns off a light at a switch :-)

              Really good product I think!

                @encoderboy: An alternative is their smart socket which is the same price and also function as a repeater.

                @encoderboy: That product page has always annoyed me. 😄 They've pictured the USB power supply but not the actual ZigBee repeater part that plugs in to it.

                They are good though, and handy that the USB port is passthrough on the repeater so can use for something else.

          • Moondog on 23/01/2023 - 14:04

            @CacheHunter: Hue Bulbs apparently make pretty poor routers so I'd likely avoid them. Ikea repeaters are excellent (and relatively cheap). I've had nothing but trouble with the Ikea Smartsockets - I had two, both broke in a matter of weeks.

          • giovannip on 23/01/2023 - 15:15

            @CacheHunter: Im currently using tuya smart plugs and a one power strip.

            I do currently have about 60 9W Downlights and 12 GU10 bulbs from Tuya, but they are WiFi. I think as they die ill replace them to zigbee. I dont think you can get nuch better mesh network than that! Lol

  • giovannip on 22/01/2023 - 20:19

    Thanks Clear, bought 10 to try out. I'm curious to see how long these last compared to the CR2032. Hopefully they play nicely with eneloops. I bought some other Tuya stuff and it did not like 1.2v.

    • Clear on 22/01/2023 - 20:27

      I believe 1.5V is usually the minimum. 1.2V will report low voltage or drain too quickly.

      • giovannip on 22/01/2023 - 20:34

        Unfortunately all rechargeable batteries are 1.2v. Hopefully the tolerance is higher because it takes 2 batteries :)

          • octleons on 22/01/2023 - 21:00

            @Clear: Do you mean non-rechargeable ones? I can only find rechargeable Energizers at 1.2v. Happy to be proven wrong.

            • bamzero on 22/01/2023 - 21:42

              @octleons: You can get 1.5v lithium rechargeable batteries in AA size, no name brands though. Since they regulate the output they'll put out a constant 1.5V until they are flat and stop so you won't get any warning they are going flat.

              Probably more an issue if using with door locks than sensors I guess.

    • bargainshooter on 23/01/2023 - 08:01

          Which integration are you using? I had issues with my whole network dropping off and needing re-pairing with Zigbee2MQTT and Conbee II (with a USB extender). I also moved to Sonoff and have had a much better experience. I’ve seen recently Z2M are recommending people downgrade their firmware of the Conbee to a ~2 year old version.

          • bamzero on 22/01/2023 - 23:24

            @Hargain Bunter: ZHA. I do get a Hue switch or Xiaomi temo sensor needing repairing every now and again but nothing that bad.

        • trawg on 23/01/2023 - 09:11

          Noob question, but: I have a Philips He Hub (~2016 era) which I thought talked Zigbee. Do I need a separate Zigbee device I can I wrangle the Hue Hub into talking Zigbee via Home Assistant?

          • bamzero on 23/01/2023 - 11:53

            @trawg: You won't be talking ZigBee between hub and Home Assistant but it can control your Hue devices via the hub

            • trawg on 23/01/2023 - 13:59

              @bamzero: Yeh I have HA already set up controlling my devices. Was just wondering if I can talk Zigbee from HA via the hub to devices like this or if I need to buy Conbee/whatever.

                There's a list of known supported devices here

                  … at $6 for this thing it's tempting to yolo and test it, but I've done that with tons of other stuff in the past and it so often doesn't work or needs a ton of mucking around to get it going so I'm a bit leery of wasting time!

      I just bought the Homeassistant Skyconnect from Seeedstudio website for 29.99 USD (~47 AUD) this week. It supports Zigbee currently but will be enabled for Matter/Thread as well in future. Not sure how stable it will be but hoping that it would just do fine since it's a Homeassistant product. Fingers crossed :)

      • trankillity on 23/01/2023 - 08:24

        Came here to recommend this too. I preordered one when they were first announced and I have just moved my whole network over from a Conbee II. No real difference in reliability yet, but one thing I will note is that it seems like it's harder to get the SkyConnect to initially pair devices via other routers. Seems like it will HEAVILY favor itself as the first connection point, to the point where I had to bring most of my sensors close to the SkyConnect to get them to pair. After a day, they re-meshed to a local router, but initial pairing was a problem.

      I bought my Xiaomi door sensor in 2017 and installed it on my main entry door that's used every day. It's a tiny sensor so uses a lithium coin cell. No idea which one as I have never changed it.

      I bought a few Xiaomi motion sensors in 2018 which are in daily use. I've never changed the CR2450 cells in them either.

      I'm very satisfied with the battery life of those lithium coin cell sensors. They'll never leak too.

      At $40USD for the sensor + $10 for the magnet component for door/window sensor it seems in a slightly different league to this. Though, I imagine you can just use a cheap magnet too.

      Also no mention of it on zigbee2mqtt or anything, so seems like 3rd party hubs are not an option. Deal breaker for me personally.

      Try plastidip. You'll need to respray it when you change the batteries. That said I have one of these on my laundry door, I installed it in Feb and it's still on its original set of batteries.

      I literally just used duct tape on my letterbox sensor. Rain doesn't have enough pressure to squeeze through small gaps anyway and the sensor isnt submerged. I think I'm using the Xiaomi sensor. I tried having the sensor inside but the letterbox is steel and shields all signal. So it's an ugly hack job on the outside. Function over form.

    Price wise it's very reasonable. But I suppose if they needed to use 2xAAA batteries, means technology-wise they couldn't compete with Aqara's contact sensors which use only one coin battery and lasts a year at least. And it looks bulky in comparison.

    Be aware of some cheap products on Ali. Last time I bought a few Wifi Tuya sensors. The motion sensor died after some months. The use was ok but expected 1s-2s delay for the first attempt of very period of time either via Tuya app or HA due to it required to connect to the Tuya cloud unless know
    how to bypass their cloud. The humid/temp sensors took ages to reach the environmental temp, hence not reliable.

    Anyone can name their store whatever they want on Ali. The term ”Official" is bias. Best to check the certificate of the seller company, followers, and store items, etc. I bought a few 1Tb SD cards for $10 each from the Huawei Official Store, called them a scam. There's a Linux Tech Tip video about this.

    The delivery time is around 2 week time but the super economy may take months.

    The trick is to stick with a more well-known brand and seller for less hassle.

      Matter is overrated. For proper home automation you do need to drill into the details and therefore setting up a wifi, ZigBee or zwave network should suffice. Matter is more for the general consumer and will take quite some time to evolve.

            @NigelTufnel: It has the backing of all the major tech companies unlike any previous standard so it certainly has a good chance of actually happening. Zigbee was probably the closest but fragmentation didn't do it any favours.

        Overrated seems like a strong thing to suggest… I dont have any zigbee stuff atm but a bunch of nest hubs, seems like a no brainer to wait for the matter stuff.

          I suspect one will be waiting a while for a decent variety of matter devices and certainly don't expect them to be cheap on the offset. Perhaps by 2024 they will become more readily available?

    I got a message from the seller:

    Dear friend,
    we must to say sorry for you first.
    when we prepare to ship the item to you,
    we found that there is quality problem with the item .
    we need to find a new supplier
    to save your time,could you choose the reason"other" to cancel the order?
    then we will accept it to quickly refund you.

    Something tells me they don't want me to say I'll wait for the new supply.

      I had this happen to me on Ebay with Imou. The problem is, if it is not shipped within xx number of days, they get a black mark against them hence they would rather the order is cancelled. In my Imou's case, and as I wanted to wait, they adjusted the order and shipped a $2 item (free) which cleared that order. They kept my original order credit until actual item came back into stock (a couple of months). A new order was created and item received (after I reminded then with email thread).

      In this instance, I don't think it's not worth your hassle asking to wait for such a small savings, especially with AliExpress.

      I got this message and pushed back - they'd already got me to cancel once and reorder. Magically, they suddenly had stock to send. Suspect they weren't wanting to honour so many at this discount.

      I got this message too but I ignored it. They eventually “shipped” it but it was delivered to Albury even though I’m in Sydney, over 500km away - even Auspost isn’t this bad. I feel like they put in someone else’s tracking number and then claim it was lost in the mail and claim it’s not their fault. Now they won’t refund me the full amount. What a dodgy practice!

      The most annoying thing is I ordered 6 of them and have to reply to 6 individual disputes!

        My order was delivered to Joondalup, WA last week ( correct address is in the ACT). Waiting for a response to my 'order not received'.
