What are the differences from. The original door sensor and the p1? I always got the original one as it was available readily on AliExpress but now I can get the p1 as well for a little more $. Worth it or stick to the originals that I have never had issues with?

We currently have the Door&Window Sensor and the Door&Window Sensor P2. The former uses Zigbee protocol, while the latter uses the Thread protocol. There are also some differences in product design. You can choose according to your own needs.

@fraser_fulton92 It seems you’re asking about the differences between the original Aqara Door and Window Sensor and the P1 variant, as well as whether the P1 is worth the extra cost. Based on the available reference information, we don’t have specific details about a “Door and Window Sensor P1” variant. The existing documentation primarily covers differences between the T1 and P2 door/window sensors (e.g., communication protocols, supported gateways, and ecosystems) .
Since we can’t provide a direct comparison for the P1 variant, you might find value in checking community experiences—other users may have shared insights! If you have further questions or need more details, feel free to reach out to Aqara customer service for clarification.
If you have suggestions for improving product information, you can submit feedback through the Aqara Home App (Profile>Help&Feedback>Customer Service) or via the feedback link.
Hope this helps, and thanks for sharing your question!
