Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy setup. No issues. Haven't had to change the battery yet. Only downside is that the clips holding the battery door shut tend to break off when you open the unit to install batteries.
The nuc has a built-in smart home automation system. It works with samsung's smartthings and google's assistant.
Sonoff cr2450 temperature and humidity sensors. Temperature sensor rises way more than other reference sensors. Motion sensor is super easy to add to the network.
Cons
Zigbee battery powered sonoff zigbee devices seem to just be throwing your money away. The plastic is super cheap and worse than what i can do on my 3d printer. Removing the pcb eventually breaks one of the pcb mounting tabs, and lifting the spring on... Read More
It works but only marginally. Other than that, everything is downhill. These are only good if you have humidity at 60% and below.
The signal is not consistent and always disconnects or goes unresponsive. Despite this, unable to re-pair with my hub even 2 feet away. Instead, it requires a reset and needs to be added again.
Sonoff says my 5 sensors are faulty. All sensors are very very unreliable. The sensor is way too sensitive and detects people from the floor above.
One unit, which is only 4 meters away from the zigbee controller always stops working. You rejoin it to the network, it produces a handful of data points and stops again. They lose connectivity to the hub on a regular basis.
Highlights
Quality
Can set three automations with this botton - one tap, two tap and hold.
Super easy to connect to my home assistant from my phone, have had no issues with connectivity so far.
These things have been flawless and batteries have lasted me months.
Automation reads motion, turns on the fountain for 15 mins, then turns off when cat leaves room and motion no longer detected.
Price
Turns out the sonoff sensors measuring 59% were pretty much right in line from the readings from that and my $800 thermostat wa... Read More
Don’t know where all the issues in the other reviews are coming from as they work great for me and for the price i can’t really complain.
Packaging/appearance
I bought a package of 4 and 1 unit always incorrectly indicates low batt even though i put it a fresh one.
I was surprised at the small size of the sensor when i opened the package.
Competitiveness
The other brand would not even try and provide any help once they knew i was not using their zigbee coordinator.
I was using another brand of door/window sensors, but they would drop off out of the blue.
Much smaller than other brands that i have used.
