How do they do the temperature reporting? On a specific delta (like the Xiaomi), set time, other? And is it configurable, or fixed (again like the xiaomi).
I'm basically looking for something that works like the Xiaomi/Awara temp/humidity sensor - but actually zigbee compliant.
They are ~$13/ea on banggood, so would be an attractive if they don't have the same quirks as the Xiaomi/Aqara. EDIT: I went ahead and ordered 4 of them to play with. Ship from China, so maybe be a few weeks.
What I have noticed though is that the battery level was only reported once yesterday (I have been using the sensor only for a day so far). Will check how often the battery level gets reported and post an update here.
Hmmm, not so sure about that. I'm pulling for you, but I ordered a Konke motion sensor to play with and was not impressed. Maybe it just needs a good driver, but it doesn't seem to report inactive. Not sure they're being truthful in their descriptions.
My Konke's came in. They paired right away to my Hubitat with the Peanut/SmartThings outlets as repeaters. That Hubitat is on Zigbee Channel 20.
They simply refuse to pair to my Hubitat with all the Aqara sensors that has Tradri outlets and USB repeaters. That Hubitat is on Zigbee Channel 23. I got so many sensors on there that I am reluctant to change zigbee channels.
So here's hoping they stay paired to the Peanut Hubitat .....
Good info. Channels above 20 have always been problematic for me. So I'm on 17 and 18 now (wifi 20 MHz width on 1 and 11).
I have one hub with all Ikea repeaters and Xiaomi devices. The other hub has all of my other zigbee, including a samsung outlet (known to be bad for Xiaomi).
Hopefully mine will be coming in soon. Hasn't been a shipping status update on either order for 10 days, so who knows where they are?
Mine didn't update until they showed up at Customs in Chicago and from then it took 4 days (probably because yesterday was Sunday).
Edit - Also, first time I've ordered something from Banggood/GearBest/AliExpress that was clearly examined by US Customs. The box had been opened, couple of sensors were unpackaged/repackaged, and that box had US Customs tape sealing it.
So, I got mine a few days ago.
I put it right next to a centralite and a manual device.
It's close, but not exactly the same as those devices.
However, it has continued to report, and has not fallen from the Zigbee mesh. (Since November 13th, when it was first included.
I pronounce this device a winner!
