I am looking for some help with sensors. I want to put them in the laundry room, pantry, walk in closets, and kids bathroom. I am leaning towards the ones below, in order from top to bottom. Just wanted to know if anyone had complaints or recommendations. I am trying to build everything into HA. Any others I should really consider?

I’ve used the Aeotec trisensor. My only complaint is I wish it was powered, not battery. But that is where the aeotec multisensor steps up as I believe it has a plug in option.

Get Wyze super reliable and cheap. They also replace any broken ones without question.

@nekton yup! Works great I have 45 using on bridge in the middle of my house. You can always add more bridges if there super far away but range hasn’t given me any issues.

I have the aerotech multisensor 6. I have plugged in. I use it mostly to detect lux levels to determine lighting. I’ve have it for a few years and no issues.

@ingrid51 awesome thanks. They are more expensive but people seem to love them

@nekton They are pricey that's why I only have one, but I can use it to run all the automated lighting in the house.
