I'm in the UK and got them via eBay.
I’ve been buying on eBay for $8 average including shipping and taxes, from different vendors. So far nothing fake. All shipped from China so takes a couple of weeks. IDK if the community has a policy against sharing vendor names - I can PM you if you want.
Glad you were able to resolve. My logs have always worked but good to know how you resolved if that ever happens.
I’ve never seen them that cheap on Ali Express. Do you have a link @ckronengold ? I buy on eBay hoping that they have a good dispute resolution process.
I hadn't looked at the prices of specific sensors, but this vendor started at $2.95.
Oh I saw those listings before. $2.95 is for just a base. Motion sensors are $9+. Some vendors on eBay discount to around $7.50 for 4 or more units.
Having same issues with Aqara devices. Just come across it. If you want to use Aqarq / Xiaomi sensors, this is a MUST read Xiaomi & Aqara Devices - Pairing & Keeping them connected
