What are your favorite products to use with Home Assistant?

I am using Home Assistant and I am primarily using the temperature sensors and door sensor from Aqara. Do you guys have any recommendations for good integrations with Home Assistant?

Correction, I also have motion sensors and the FP2 Presence sensor.

I use the FP2 presence sensor with home assistant. It works like a charm.
Also a big fan of the p2 zigbee motion sensor. One of the more reliable motion sensors in the market at the moment I think.

I had the TVOC, which died and as it is not replacable, Aqara refunded it.
Currently I have the FP2 to automate stuff in one room (turn on/off lights, get the vacuum robot out of the way)

Forgot to mention the aqara magic cube. The different gestures you can pack into one peripheral is nice.

I have door and window sensors as well as the Aqara u100 door lock that works pretty well with the Zigbee and matter integrations. Looking to try to get a few of my WiFi cameras in home to be swapped for the new WiFi Aqara cameras that came out

FP2. I use it to detect if my son woke up for his school alarm.

The temperature and humidity sensor’s are great for automation and I couldn’t live without the smart receptacles.

I must have 30 water leak sensors all over the house. Reliablr, affordable and the battery lasts forever.

I use Apple home and automate alot of things like if the humidity goes low then it tells me on my Apple home pod

I must add that after a kitchen remodel - the day the plumber finished plumbing the kitchen sink - I placed a water sensor int eh cabinet. That night my wife woke me up and said there is a message on her phone that there is a leak in the kitchen from the sensor. Sure enough, the supply line uncoupled and eater was spraying everywhere. We managed to turn it off quickly. Water under the island and leaked down to the lower level. Could have been much worse if left overnight. It was after midnight when she go the message. Could have been 10s of thousand of dollars to replace floors cabinets, etc.

Lucky timing :wink:

While I have Aqara motion, humity and presence sensors, I tend to enjoy my buttons the most [WXKG11LM], you can do so much with them, from basic on/off features, blasting out some music, to using them to log tasks you do or activate a fan (signals a PIR blaster as my fan is dumb one).

I am using a U200 Smart Lock and the FP2.

Used to have Aqara Temperature and Humidity and Motion Sensors but they always dropped of my Zigbee networks. I tried Deconz and Zigbee2MQTT. I just recently bought a M100 Aqara Hub, so maybe I can use these sensors more reliably in the future.

I’d like to integrate PDCs for civil unrest, zombie or the TV Licence sales man!
