Xiaomi AQara Smart Window Door Sensor are they working or not, on Hubitat?
I didt find them listed on compatible devices but some say they work..
So can I get a clear answer to know if I should buy it or not? Maybe also update that list?
Thank you!

If you are buying new devices, i would stick to the list of supported devices.

I have the older Xiaomi and the newer Aqara contact sensors and both are working ok for me. You will need to load a custom driver before you try and pair them with your hub so that they get allocated the correct device type when pairing.
Personally I like them as they are small, cheap and have a reasonable battery life.
Exactly, that's what I've heard!
But where do I get the custom driver? And how do I load it?

Oh ok. I thought you were just querying if they worked or not.
Here is the driver code.
In the menus pick Driver CODE and then New Driver at the top right.
Copy and paste the code in and save.
This process is in the documentation somewhere so it might be worth a read when you get time.

*
* Known issues:
* + Xiaomi devices send reports based on changes, and a status report every 50-60 minutes. These settings cannot be adjusted.
* + The battery level / voltage is not reported at pairing. Wait for the first status report, 50-60 minutes after pairing.
* However, the Aqara Door/Window sensor battery level can be retrieved immediately with a short-press of the reset button.
* + Pairing Xiaomi devices can be difficult as they were not designed to use with a Hubitat hub.
* Holding the sensor's reset button until the LED blinks will start pairing mode.
* 3 quick flashes indicates success, while one long flash means pairing has not started yet.
* In either case, keep the sensor "awake" by short-pressing the reset button repeatedly, until recognized by Hubitat.
* + The connection can be dropped without warning. To reconnect, put Hubitat in "Discover Devices" mode, and follow
* the same steps for pairing. As long as it has not been removed from the Hubitat's device list, when the LED
* flashes 3 times, the Aqara Motion Sensor should be reconnected and will resume reporting as normal

Thank YOU so much for the help, and everyone who took of their time to help!
As soon as I get the sensor I will do as instructed.
I may ask you more then since I'm not so good with this..
BTW. do you have a roller shutter home? What device do you use for it?
I bought Fibaro Roller Shutter 3, Unfortunately it's not on the supported list, but Aeotec nano shatter is , thow I read some posts from february where ppl. where not happy.
Maybe I should make a new thread about this..
I've got around 20 different Xiaomi and Aqara zigbee devices (contact sensors, outlets, wireless buttons, even a curtain motor) paired to my Hubitat and they work extremely well, specially after adding a XBee router, as noted in this YouTube video (its in Spanish, but should be pretty easy to follow):
Witch one? Is it working on a roller shatter too?
Thank you!
I don't have shutters so cannot advise on that I'm afraid.
I'm sure I've seen a post about these but it might be worth raising a new post about these if you cannot find anything.
I meant the Aqara Curtain motor with a DT-82 rail, using the SmartThings device driver on my Hubitat Elevation hub.
There is also a new Aqara Rolling Shutter Motor, but no Hubitat / ST device driver available as of now (although based on past experiences, I assume that it may work with a standard switch device driver).
https://www.aliexpress.com/i/33009670676.html
Hope this helps!
The power monitoring function does not work with the generic driver.
Using Xiaomi door/window DH for the battery?
Works fine
Mine worked for the first 2 weeks then stopped. I know this won't help the original poster but maybe somebody else. I'm not sure what is wrong either. No other devices have this issue.
