Smart sensors — motion, temperature, humidity, water-leak, door/window contact.
Official importer of Sonoff, Moes, and Aqara — Zigbee 3.0 sensors with 2+ year battery life and instant Home Assistant reporting.
Active filters
For battery: Zigbee — lasts 2+ years. For wired (critical alarming with no discharge risk): 12V or Wi-Fi via outlet.
Zigbee 3.0 = standard for battery sensors — instant reporting, no cloud. Matter over Thread = newer, fewer models. Wi-Fi is not recommended for battery sensors.
For a typical apartment: 1 motion sensor per hall/bath, 1 door contact per room, 1 water-leak sensor under each risk point (sink, washing machine).
Yes — every Zigbee sensor requires a coordinator. We recommend Home Assistant Green + SMLight SLZB-06 or Sonoff iHost (all in stock).
