Hello,

I'm looking for a ZigBee keypad and RFC tag for my alarm. I'm using zigbee2mqtt and alarmo. Any suggestion ? Thanks !

I've been using this and it works great!

Thanks ! Do you use it with alarmo ? How is the battery life time ? Do you succeed to get battery information via zigbee2mqtt ?

I don't use it with Alarmo but it would work just fine if I understand how Alarmo functions. I installed it 6 months ago and it still reads as 100% (though who knows how accurate that is). It does require some beefy batteries though so I tend to believe it. The battery reading is coming through Z2M.

Hope that helps! Here's a helpful thread about getting it working and setting up RFID tags (I used old Nest Secure tags with no issues).
