Sorry! They're more popular than we expected!
Hi all. I'm looking at trying my hand at Home Assistant and setting up a few sensors. My first goal is security, so motion sensors/door sensors, a siren, and then a camera. What has the experience been like with the Sonoff sensors? Do they have issues of going offline with HA, or have problems with interference or sensitivity?
I've also looked at Xiaomi (ZigBee) and Z-Wave based sensors, but they're quite a bit more expensive when you throw in the required bridge/hub as well, and also seem to be hard to find to purchase.
My main concern is stability. So if Sonoff won't really do the job, then I'll look to spend more for the other options listed.
Thanks!

Woah that was quick. Looks like they may be even more popular than the basics.

Oi! Leave me out of this...
Given that they slot into the existing lighting holes in most peoples walls, I can see why... its an easy Neutral drop in and then you have the makings of a smarthome....

Should I order now or can you keep 2 x 2 Gangs aside for me
I will need an order to keep stock. You can pay via EFT, and then do the payment once they've arrived.
Again, please place an order - even for payment on arrival using EFT. That way we can keep track.
Insane, think I just sold the last of the stock - I've had it for one day.
EDIT: I now have 6 on backorder

Yay!
Sorry, was the second order the backorder for one 2-gang unit?

Yeah. That should be #1756
Soon I'll see if all the complaints about ewelink is justified and all the tinkering I've been reading on here is worth going down.
Hoping that it just works, but...nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
Want to get it working with my Google Home.
Edit: I had a massively blond moment (with myself at least) trying to figure out how I would switch the lights on if my power went out - since my router and wifi would be off. Started looking at UPS and Solar options for my router/switch/AP... after about 30 minutes realised...wait... if my power is off why/how the feck would I try switch a light on...there's no power.

Ok, I'm going to mark it as such.
