Hi, I am after good but affordable door sensors. While my ST mesh is 100% Z-Wave, and therefore I would prefer Z-Wave, I am fine settings up ZigBee sensors if the best recommendations point to that direction. Currently, all the newer models I am seeing are $30,$40,$49 per piece. That’s very steep …

I’m assuming you’re in the US since you gave prices in US dollars. If not let us know. For zwave, I would suggest the Ring Alarm system door sensors. These use the latest Z wave technology, work fine with smartthings, and are widely available including at Home Depot. They are also priced well, list…

I just installed a Sengled Zigbee door/window sensor and connected to my ST hub which is probably 50 feet away and created a simple automation to turn on a hall light. So far it is working well and they only cost about $30 for a 2 pack.
