What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Philips hue is an excellent solution for home automation and security. Easy to install within existing zigbee system. Works well with apple homekit and can be used to trigger notifications to my apple devices (including others who are part of your hom... Read More

The aqara door and window sensor is a standout device. One of the standout features is its unauthorized entry detection. The sensor's small size makes it easy to mount discreetly on doors, windows, or other fixtures.
The sensor has a compact design and seamless integration with apple homekit and alexa. The adhesive strips are strong and ensure the sensors stay in place. The sensor requires technical knowledge to set up with more advanced integrations.
Cons
The idea is when someone knocks the door, a vibration is triggered. However it fails to work more times than not. This makes them completely unreliable.
It claims to be zigbee compliant, but does not connect to zigbee compliant hubs. No need for aquara hub as stated. Going offline is a big downside for me.

The battery cover is a fiddle to remove easier when attached to a surface as a coin seems to tear the plastic or two thumbs to twist it off
