What the community says

Zigbee2MQTT forum consensus: the Aqara sensor is compact and accurate but can drop off networks with weak mesh coverage; the Sonoff SNZB-02D’s larger CR2450 battery lasts noticeably longer and the LCD is convenient for closets and crawl spaces.

Our pick

For most Home Assistant setups, the Sonoff SNZB-02D is the best balance of accuracy, battery life and price. Pick the Aqara if size matters (e.g., inside an enclosure).
