I’ve got a few of the zigbee temp/ humidity sensors, definitely better than the ikea variant. And the ikea sockets are stupidly sized and completely cockblock a standard gpo, hate that.
Still hunting a decent AQI, will probably have to get off my arse and build one
Tech here. Lots of smart home crap. All zigbee on Home Assistant
For real! HA* & Zigbee or I seriously doubt the credibility of any „I work in IT“-claim.
*one of OSS contenders is fine.
So pissed ikea moved to matter. They were a great source of cheapie sensors.
I’m using Matter with HA, works just fine. For cheap sensors you can look at Frient or Shelly.
Its not a question of compatability, matter has some inherent security flaws i’m not trucking with
IKEA is not bad but I actually prefer (whitelabel) Tuya as long as those run on AA(A).
They might even be cheaper outside the US right now. Ironically thanks to their tariffs.

when was the last update :p
Last night.
Why?
Zwave is also great, but typically more expensive.
Harder to get too sadly.
