NY Times Wirecutter does reviews of sensors

Not directly related to Hubitat because they didn't mention the platform they did mention SmartThings and Zigbee so technically some of these sensors would be compatible. I wish they would look beyond HomeKit, SmartThings, and the Amazon / Google assistants:

Interesting that Aqara are the picks for best motion and best contact sensor. I've had great experience with both, too... it's just too bad that I have to run a separate Zigbee network to handle these devices. Thank goodness for hub mesh!

The ZigBee based Centralite Micro Motion Sensors have been rock solid on HE C7 for my home.

I had to read it closely. Good thing with them recommending the Aqara devices is that they mention it requiring a hub. While they are good little devices they start to become a pain when you introduce repeaters that they don't like. Thats when they start to drop off. Having a hub eliminates this problem.
