The only brand of sensor I’ll buy anymore
I’ve found Aqara products to be good quality with all of the sensors I’ve tried from them. They seem to be reliable and power-efficient, which is critical when dealing with more than 2 or 3 sensors. I have a mix of sensors in my house, whereas I only put Aqara in my parents’ house which I did after my own trials. They haven’t changed batteries in the ~2 years they’ve been in place, but all are still online. Whereas some of my cheaper window sensors are dying in 6 months with nothing but updating temperature if it changes more than 1 degree.I would never use their hub for it, personally, out of a concern for both security and privacy, as well as not requiring a dedicated app for each brand of product. I don’t use anything that requires its own hub or internet connectivity, I just have Home Assistant running with a generic Zigbee dongle and it works great. I’ve never needed to, but it is possible you’d have to change the Zigbee channel you’re running on to work with certain devices.While it’s obviously not supported, I do have one of these in an out building which exceeds the high and low operating temperature range and it’s been working fine for about 18 months. If you live in an area with truly extreme highs or lows, you might have a different experience.

Great sensors, but all 3 had dead batteries
I’m a big fan of Aqara products. And these temperature sensors are great. I’ve used them before. This set of three that I bought would not pair to the hub at all, even if I put them right next to the hub. On a hunch, I changed the batteries and they worked fine. I guess these sat on the shelf too long. If you have trouble pairing, try changing the batteries before you send them back. With fresh batteries, these work great.

Don’t use them where they must be reliable and easy to access.
Why, Aqara? I ordered a new batch of Aqara Zigbee Temperature and Humidity Sensors. They have changed their design to a new style battery access hatch, which incredibly is even harder to open than the old style. The new access cover is almost impossible to remove without three hands. On top of that they added a metal battery retainer with a tiny Philips head screw. What didn’t they change? It’s still very finicky pairing to the Zigbee network, requiring a voodoo dance of repeating the pairing steps over and over gain until it miraculously connects. They also didn’t fix the fact that all the Aqara devices tend to fall off the Zigbee network and then need re-pairing. I know my Zigbee network is strong and not conflicted. Of the three sensors I purchased, they all initially paired, and then two fell off within two days. They are all physically side-by-side. Finally, they couldn’t re-design the idiotic slot on the battery access panel that no tools really fit into properly, and gets munged up after a couple of accesses.The worst of all of this? I acquired these to put in my beehives, to monitor environmental conditions year-round. So try doing the magic dance to pair these devices, removing and replacing the battery covers, all while covered with not-so-happy bees in a bee suit with fat gloves. Then go out twice in three days to try and get them re-paired again.When they work, I find them to be accurate – but I don’t anticipate they are going to work out in my apiary because they are just not reliable, and are terrible to access the battery.

Review of this product
These Work fine but finicky to connect via zigbee protocol

Facilité d’installation par cercle double face.Réfléchissez bien à l’endroit où vous souhaitez les installer car pas trop de retour en arrière.Remplacement de la pile par rotation du dessous.

I have four of these temperature sensors connected to my Ikea Dirigera hub and everything works perfectly well. Exactly what I needed as they are small yet accurate. No need to purchase an Aqara hub.

Piccolo, preciso, di facile installazione. La connessione con l’ hub è stabile anche se a una discreta distanza.Un ottimo prodotto. Da valutare col tempo autonomia e durata.
