Homekit necessity
These work flawlessly with Homekit and reliably trigger events with no false or missed events. They're easy to add to Homekit, they look nice and blend into your door or window frame.

Unusable. Won't Pair
Found this product other be unusable. I cant get it to pair with the aqara app (many online reviews from blogs to purchases saying this) and cant get it to pair with homekit either. Customer service said it was my fault of course so i am stuck with the non working 3 sensors.

Five stars...after some issue resolutions
These are wonderful, but you have to do a few things if you're having issues. I tried connecting one and it was not working at all. So I tried to set up another and the same thing happened.Since both were not working I figured it was something with my network. Turns out my mesh router (Google Nest Wifi Pro) was conflicting with my router (whatever ATT gave me). The ATT router had its WiFi signals enabled for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz so when the set up was happening, it was picking up both WiFi connections from my phone. I disabled the signals from the ATT router, and they still weren't working, but I wanted to try a third just in case, and it magically connected easily.Since that started working, I wanted to troubleshoot the other two that were still having issues. I figured hat during the setup, the devices remembered the settings so I needed a way to reset them and start fresh. I saw a video from their YouTube account that you can factory reset if you press the button 10 times.Once I did that, both connected easily.I bought 13 of these and never had an issue setting up the other 11 after the network issue / factory reset took place. They are easy to set up and don't get in the way.Finally I used the extra magnets that came with each device on my fridge, lol.

Youre definitely paying to be an early adopter of Matter
a disclaimer: I actually use this as a way to tell if my deadbolt is locked or not rather than the door being closed. But for everything else my impressions are the same.This is a pretty good product! I pull it out of the box. Set up a new device in google home. Scan the QR code. Wait a minute for google to finish the set up. Stick it where it needs to be stuck. Reapply it with some duck tape after the sensor fell off a few minutes after I set it. Yeah, the adhesion is great... after the glue has had time to set properly. So far that first time was the only time it's fallen off in the month that I've had it. So you just need to make sure that it is supported in some way for at least a few hours to a full day and it should be good after that.The software experience was almost dumb in how simple it was, which is exactly how a smart home device should be. It should be as close to plug-and-play as possible. The Matter standard makes this semi-feasible. I needed it to have matter for a different reason though. The long and short of it is that I don't have access to 2.4 ghz wifi, only 5ghz. So any smart device I get has to be able to connect to my nest hub in some way. Previously this meant scrouring for the rare smart devices that could connect to it with Bluetooth. But now that Matter is getting into the swing of things I actually have some options. And through matter its actually faster to respond than my old wifi and bluetooth devices! The bad news with that is that Matter is still a very new standard. With that come a few trade offs:1. you need a matter hub2. The new tech tax is certainly in effect here.While I'll take having an expensive option over having none at all. 30 dollars for a door sensor is pretty steep. (I got it on a black friday sale for around 20 though so keep checking if you want to save some money) But thats just something that comes with the territory I guess. So far all of the matter devices I'v bought have been more expensive than non matter counterparts. I'm sure as time goes on Matter will get support accross the spectrum of smart devices and prices will go down as the tech matures. But for right now we are still in the early adopter phase and you'll be expected to pay a little more..As far as the sensing part of things. It works. That's about it. It actually comes with 2 magnets which is nice. A pretty, white pill-looking one. As well as a flat, plain metal one that you can use instead of the pill if your situation demands a smaller profile. I do wish they would have put some way of knowing where the sensor needs to line up with the magnet to get it to work so that I didn't have to experiment with alignment as much. But that's a more minor gripe.

Almost too good!
I love the Aqara P2 Door Sensors. They've given me peace of mind that my home is safe when I'm on the go!Even non-techies will find the setup of the P2 Sensor easy to accomplish. A warning to the wise, do not remove the sticky tabs until you understand exactly where on the doors the sensor is to be placed. I thought I had them positioned correctly until I realized I would pull the sensor off if I opened the door. I had to pull both parts of the sensor off my door to reposition them, but since the adhesive side is so sticky, I had to pull hard! They grip so well, that I can see them lasting for a lifetime of use.I've added the Aqara P2 Sensors and a Kasa Switch garage light switch to the home Apple ecosystem. With the two, I was able to create an automation that instantly turned the Kasa switch on when my Aqara P2 door sensor was triggered and turned off the lights 10 minutes later. I was amazed at how fast the Aqara P2 was able to turn on the Kasa light switch! I had to slowly open the door to see if the lights were actually off, otherwise, it looked like the lights were on before I opened the door it was so fast.This and the ability to ask "Siri, turn off the garage lights" is a huge win!
