Any Xiaomi Aqara Deals?

Hi All,

Has anyone seen good deals on Xiaomi Aqara zigbee sensors? The last good deals on ozb were in 2018 from gearbest. Nothing in the last year or so.

I was then unsure of what sensors I would need and if they would work well, so only grabbed a few from those deals. Now, I am looking to expand my automations and went looking for motion sensors, door sensors and temperature sensors. Unfortunately, they are more than double the price. As an example, door sensors that used to be 6 USD delivered are now 12+ USD + shipping.

    I order from aliexpress in batches. Always fairly cheap and outside of the wait for postage have been fine quality etc

        Aliexpress listings are a mess. The sellers list a number of different things on the same listing. I click on something that says starting 7$ and find out the 7$ is for an unrelated item (like a mount for a switch). :-/ Frustrating.

        I guess I will just have to find a few listings and bookmark them. That way I can keep track of any price reductions.

        @newdad - what vouchers? The coupons? Almost all coupons I find have ridiculous spend requirements.

    What smarthome system are you using them in?

      Home Assistant. I was originally using a Xiaomi hub to interface but now moving them all onto zigbee2mqtt with a Sonoff CC2531 stick.

    The Temp sensors were "somewhat" cheap a couple weeks back on banggood ($7.99 USD + extras with a coupon)

    I use CouponsFromChina site to track their sensor range e.g https://couponsfromchina.com/xiaomi-mi-temperature-humidity-…

      That's not a bad price.

      Thanks for the hint. I have set price alerts on the site.

          Saw your post late in the night and missed the deal. :-(
