Looking for quick and easy door sensors (self.homeassistant)

Looking for some well priced door sensors. I heard the Xfinity / Comcast ones on ebay do well and also do temperature.

Anyone have any experience with them or know if anything better priced?

I have some cheap ass Tuya Zigbee sensors from AliExpress. In my experience they are reliable, quite small, i sill haven't changed the battery, and they are super cheap. Make sure you get the Zigbee ones, not the wifi version.

tuya means one relies on their API keys right? i just love the m5stack and feel safe about updates and apis for the next decades.

only for wifi version, witch shuld be avoided becouse batteries dies fast on wifi.
