Aqara E1 Zigbee Door and Window Sensor
Smart Electronics
“Limited direct expert reviews for the Aqara E1 Zigbee Door and Window Sensor specifically, but it integrates into the broader Aqara ecosystem praised for its compact Hub E1 at $30. The sensor is compact (1.5" tall) using a CR1632 coin cell battery, which performed well in 4-month battery life testing in one source. Requires an Aqara Hub for operation, limiting cross-platform flexibility.”
