Pairs and OTA upgrade directly with Hubitat C7/C8/C8 Pro - Batteries Included
I bought 12 of these to replace all of another brand (S*O*N*O*F*F) which uses 2032 button cells, they paired with any of the Hubitat models within about 10-15 seconds whether they were 1m or 10m away. The driver it picked up was the built in Generic Zigbee Contact Sensor (no temp) They all needed an upgrade from 0x30 to 0x3F which was easily done via Hubitat within about 10mins, about 60 secs per 10% block, the progress can only be seen in the live logs for the Hub. This gives you: Optimized the network joining and reconnecting algorithms Optimized the power detection logic Optimized the trigger filtering algorithm From what I have experienced, the upgrade procedure is well protected and never bricked any of them, each 10% block is transferred and checksumed, at 100% the upgrade is transferred to its flash memory. The device still has live operation during the upgrade process. I made a mistake on the first one by unpairing/re-pairing while it was upgrading, simply because I did not realise anything was happening viewing the device page. When I found where I could see the progress, it had stopped at 30%, after 2 mins I realised the upgrade had been cancelled by my actions without any harm. The upgrade was just started again and completed without error. The great thing about these 3rdReality devices is that they use a modern hall effect sensor to trigger via the magnet instead of an antique reed switch, so they can be mounted offset slightly on windows and doors, the max detection range is about 25mm so best to stick with 15mm or less if the magnet is not on the same plane. As long as you dont have any poor/ chatty/ proprietary Zigbee protocol devices on the Hub and have good plug in repeater mains sockets between far off devices to create a good Zigbee mesh they operate automations in Rule Manager within a second , no matter how far away they are from the Hub. I am very impressed with this brand and have purchased 8 Temperature/Humidity lite sensors, again uses 2 x AAA supplied and also a couple of the waterproof soil moisture/temperature sensors to assist in the automated garden watering .

Long lasting on battery
These are really good sensors, having 2 AAA batteries makes them more reliable. If you are using home assistant/z2m they aren't bindable

Great little sensors
I’ve been using these door/window contact sensors around the house for a few months now, and they’ve been great. I set them up to turn on cupboard lights when doors open, and to automatically turn on the hallway lights when the front door is opened at night. Once paired with my Zigbee setup (I’m running them through Home Assistant), the automations fire reliably and consistently, no lag or missed triggers. Installation was straightforward: the sensors are slim, powered by standard AAA batteries with up to ~2 years of life, and can be mounted with either the included adhesive tape or screws. Once connected they’ve stayed paired without any problems, and using regular batteries (rather than coin cells) makes swapping them out simple when needed. Overall these contact sensors have worked exactly as I’d hoped. They’re reliable, great value, easy to integrate into automations, and now a core part of my smart-home setup.

Constant disconnection from Smart Things Hub !
Bought this to replace a Samsung Door sensor which got damaged- really liked the idea of the AAA batteries ( as the button battery on the Samsung is really awkward to replace) Connected easily to the Smart Things Hub so was initially delighted - however the device would disconnect from the hub after around 12 hours, persisted resetting several times with the same results, so sadly having to return . I note others have had the same problem so cannot recommend.

Works with Echo 4th gen
Works with Echo 4th generation and most importantly doesn't drop connection unlike another cheaper brand did. I'm using this with a Honeywell DualTec pir relay output to trigger motion on my driveway and alert Alexa to announce there is motion detected.

Stuck to door open even when doors are closed
Two out of the seven that I have installed are also stuck to door open while doors are closed. However when you open and close the door they temporarily show door closing and opening and then go back to door open. The battery consumption seems Ok and their signal is great. Above all they are the best in battery type (AAA batteries). That is the main reason I went for them.

Funciona de lujo, raros son los que pueden tener tal espacio de detección. Además, usando pilas normales, fácil cambiarlas y recargarlas. La única pega es que usando pilas normal, pues es un poco más grande, claro.

These are great door/window sensors that have been super reliable for me so far. I was tired of a few other brands falling off my Zigbee network, so I went to trusty ThirdReality and haven't been disappointed. They are a bit bigger than alternatives, but that's because they pack a couple of AAA batteries which I expect to last a long time (given their record with other Zigbee devices). It's been several weeks and no battery issues so far; I would guess they'll last months or even years depending on usage. ThirdReality is also a Home Assistant partner, which means they actually test their stuff with Home Assistant and ZHA for their Zigbee stuff. It's perfectly compatible with my Sonoff Zigbee radio, as well as the Home Assistant ZBT-2 I recently switched to. They're a bit on the large size and not particularly pretty, but I don't think you could find a more reliable contact sensor for doors or windows (or drawers, or car chargers, or toilet lids… whatever you freaks are automating!) or a better value anywhere else. If you have the physical space, I'd highly recommend them!
