THIRDREALITY Zigbee Contact Sensor 4 Pack, Door and Window Monitor, Home Automation,Works with Home Assistant,SmartThings,Aeotec,Homey,Hubitat or Echo Devices with Build-in Zigbee Hub,hub Required

Simple and easy to use
I set these up with home assistant and SLZB-06M with ZHA. Red light blinks on when closing or opening. The sensitivity is great so I can know if my door is cracked open even a tiny bit. Reliability has been great so far. I appreciate that this uses AAA batteries, which are cheaper and easier to find than button cells.

Good sensor, short battery life
Works well as a door sensor. Knocked down a star because of short battery life – I had to replace the batteries (2xAAA) around every 3 weeks. This is a short time compared to other door sensors I have, which typically have a battery life of 6 months or more on a button cell.

The best door sensor!
I want devices that don’t use coin batteries so this using AAA is perfect. Works perfectly with Aeotec Z-Stick 10 Pro hub.

Physically fragile technically great.
Functionally, these sensors are great. Just be aware they’re a bit fragile and really not designed to be removed once installed. The magnet portion, in particular, can crack if you take it off after mounting—I had to repaint my doors and removed three of them, and all three ended up with small cracks. Nothing a little super glue couldn’t fix, but still worth noting.After reinstalling, the gap between the magnets and the sensor ended up slightly too large, so the sensors occasionally reported the door as open even when it was fully shut. I resolved this by 3D-printing small risers shaped like the original magnet housing, and that fixed the issue.Despite these quirks, I’m still giving them five stars because I’ve had zero technical issues. They work reliably and do exactly what they should. Just know going in that they aren’t really meant to be reused. You’ve been warned.

I bought 12 of these to replace all of another brand (S*O*N*O*F*F) which uses 2032 button cells, they paired with any of the Hubitat models within about 10-15 seconds whether they were 1m or 10m away.The driver it picked up was the built in Generic Zigbee Contact Sensor (no temp)They all needed an upgrade from 0x30 to 0x3F which was easily done via Hubitat within about 10mins, about 60 secs per 10% block, the progress can only be seen in the live logs for the Hub.This gives you:Optimized the network joining and reconnecting algorithmsOptimized the power detection logicOptimized the trigger filtering algorithmFrom what I have experienced, the upgrade procedure is well protected and never bricked any of them, each 10% block is transferred and checksumed, at 100% the upgrade is transferred to its flash memory.The device still has live operation during the upgrade process.I made a mistake on the first one by unpairing/re-pairing while it was upgrading, simply because I did not realise anything was happening viewing the device page. When I found where I could see the progress, it had stopped at 30%, after 2 mins I realised the upgrade had been cancelled by my actions without any harm. The upgrade was just started again and completed without error.The great thing about these 3rdReality devices is that they use a modern hall effect sensor to trigger via the magnet instead of an antique reed switch, so they can be mounted offset slightly on windows and doors, the max detection range is about 25mm so best to stick with 15mm or less if the magnet is not on the same plane.As long as you dont have any poor/ chatty/ proprietary Zigbee protocol devices on the Hub and have good plug in repeater mains sockets between far off devices to create a good Zigbee mesh they operate automations in Rule Manager within a second , no matter how far away they are from the Hub.I am very impressed with this brand and have purchased 8 Temperature/Humidity lite sensors, again uses 2 x AAA supplied and also a couple of the waterproof soil moisture/temperature sensors to assist in the automated garden watering .

Einrichtung mit homeassistant hat problemlos funktioniert. Verbindung zu Router ohne Probleme. Somit Aussage einer 2 Sterne Rezension dass kein mesh möglich ist schlicht falsch. Sendet Zustand permanent nicht nur wie Sensoren anderer hersteller beim Öffnen oder schließen. AAA Batterie kann leicht gewechselt werden. Einziger Nachteil ist dass er etwas größer ist wegen der Batterien aber das ist aufgrund dass Daten alle paar Minuten gesendet werden verständlich. Hab noch nichts besseres gefunden und schon viele Sensoren ausprobiert.
