I’d like to add a couple more motion sensors to my setup. With Smartthings sensors no longer available, what do you guys recommend as a good replacement? Not required, but ideally, I’d like something using Zigbee and compatible with Alexa as well. I’m worried about where Smartthings is headed at this point and would like whatever I buy to work with other systems down the road. ---

I’m worried about where Smartthings is headed at this point and would like whatever I buy to work with other systems down the road. Zigbee Sensors attached to a smartthings hub have to use smartthings for their Alexa Integration. Because the Zigbee profile that smartthings uses only allows for one primary coordinator, and that will be your smartthings hub. However, as long as the sensors are certified for Zigbee 3.now, you could move them to a different Zigbee hub later if you wanted, including the one built into some of the echo devices. What country are you in? The device selection does vary. 🕶 Also, if you like the smartthings devices, Aeotec is taking those over. At least initially they are exactly the same model as a smartthings one, just with a different logo. They should be available in the EU and North America within a few months. > **[Motion Sensor - Aeotec](https://aeotec.com/products/aeotec-motion-sensor/)** > > Motion Sensor Motion detection. 120° Viewing Angle. Accurate temperature measurement. Know when there is movement in your home. The Aeotec Motion Sensor can be easily integrated into your home thanks to its compact dimensions. With the SmartThings... And here’s the official thread explaining the handover: > [@An Update Regarding our Hardware](https://community.smartthings.com/t/an-update-regarding-our-hardware/208259/): > > We’ve been following the comments on the Community regarding SmartThings hardware and wanted to help clarify some information on this matter. Earlier this year, we highlighted plans to enlist companies that are leaders in the smart home / automation space to manufacture and distribute SmartThings hardware. We are expanding our partnership with Aeotec to work with our European market and will share more information when available. Please stay tuned to our official channels for future announcements. ---

Also, there was a very similar thread started just a few days ago, you should take a look at that.
