Sage doorbell sensors have finally found their way to eBay. I bought a 2 pack and tried it out, and after verifying they worked I wanted to mention it to the community. I am in no way affiliated with any of the sellers, but here is one of the better deals:
A box of 12 for $15, but they will take offers for less. I know because I bought a pack for no good reason besides maybe some other project.
They must have pushed their inventory out to liquidators or something.
Could be useful for other contact devices... assuming it doesn't require the doorbell voltage... but since it has its own battery it would seem there is hope.
Cross-post from Nexia Doorbell Sensor Review: Disappointingly, EchoStar has discontinued the SAGE product line on September 30, 2016 – shortly after its release. I keep hoping the SAGE Zigbee doorbells would be picked up by another reseller, but to no avail. My SAGE doorbell has performed flawlessly now for months, and I would willing to do what I can to help distribute inventory that might remain or be produced, but it doesn’t appear that they are being made available at this time.
I also bought one at $4.98 (shipped!) and its installed and working. I had resisted spending any money on a doorbell solution since 1) we rarely have someone ring the bell, and 2) I was just waiting for a video doorbell at the right price. But for $5 ,, heck yeah.
Hal thank you so much. I'm just a recently retired guy trying to keep my mind active. Working with this community I've learned so much most importantly is this group is full of great guys with TONS of patience which i appreciate greatly. Many thanks.
