The listing is a list of logos: no battery type, no battery life, no size, and no mounting details.

Why we'd skip it

Each bullet is a single phrase like "Works with Apple Home" with no specifications.
Battery type, battery life, and size aren't listed anywhere.
2.6 stars from 13 reviews.
The Aqara P2 costs less and has a real listing and over a thousand reviews.

Buyer's guide

How do door and window sensors work?

A magnet goes on the door or window and the sensor goes on the frame. When the two separate, the sensor reports open. Mount them within the gap the listing specifies, usually under an inch.

How long do the batteries last?

Most battery sensors on these lists are rated for one to three years, depending on how often they report. Low-power radios like Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Thread last much longer than Wi-Fi.

Can I use these as a security system?

They can trigger alerts and sirens through your smart home system, but they aren't a monitored alarm. For insurance discounts or police dispatch you need a professionally monitored system.
