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?

If you use Zigbee the Aqara and SONOFF contact sensors are both fairly good in my experience.
The Aqara ones are very small and neat, the SONOFF are a bit larger but cheaper.
I bought my two sensors two years ago now. Haven’t had to replace the batteries yet and no connection issues or anything. I use one of them to turn on the lights at my front door when I open it and it’s always done it’s job quickly. Z-wave so ofc you’ll need a dongle.

If you have a Zigbee Coordinator, I’d recommend taking a look a Aqara.
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.
If it’s zigbee, that shouldn’t be a problem. The tuya headache is their wifi stuff.
