I’m wondering what others are using for reliable open/close sensors? TIA I am currently using a mixture of zigbee and z-wave open/close sensors: Ecolink 4655BC0-R (zigbee), Smartthings multisensors (zigbee, various generations), and Zooz ZSE41 (z-wave). Some of my Ecolink sensors are giving a lot …

Different people have different preferences. There are a lot of good ones. At our house, we use the ring zwave contact sensors. They’re relatively inexpensive, available locally at Home Depot, and are reliable with good battery life. There’s a custom edge driver for them which is popular. https:/…

I have a number of different contact sensors. The Ring contact sensors are my favorite. That being said I also like the super cheap Tuya contact sensors that use 2 - AAA batteries. The are reliable and have good battery life.

I purchased the Eve Door & Window contact sensor (Matter over Thread). I installed it in March and it is still reporting 100% battery. No issues. It is in the higher price range though. [image] Amazon.com: Eve Door & Window (Matter) – Smart contact sensor for doors... Amazon.com: Ev…

Ring contact sensor FTW!!, I also have aqara and smartthings contact sensor, but for me they are NOT trouble free, they disconnect more often then not.

How do I change to matter over bridge, do I need an aqara hub? The T1 sensors work, I bought them a few years ago. EB

[image] EB_1: How do I change to matter over bridge, do I need an aqara hub? EB Yes, and to change them over you need to remove them from your ST/Aeotec hub (which also removes/alters any ST routines that use them), use the aqara app to add them to the aqara hub, generate a Matter Pairing Co…

[image] Terri_Baker: ’m wondering what others are using for reliable open/close sensors? TIA I have been using Sonoff and Tuya sensors and both work fine, they are cheap, reliable and have good battery life lasting between 1.5 to to 2 years. Sonoff works natively but Tuya will require a custo…

I’m using the following Z-Wave sensors: Aeotec Door Window Sensor 7 (for my doors) Ecolink Z-Wave Plus Door/Window sensor (for my gate) Ring Door/Window Sensor 2nd Gen (for my closets) Mine never go offline and have good battery life. I use the Aeotec vendor driver for their product and Z-Wave S…

I’ve looked but am not having luck finding the drivers for the Ring sensor. Can you provide a link? Many thanks!!
