Smart Vibration Sensors by protocol
How do these protocols differ? Show the pros and cons
Zigbee 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.15.4)
Pros
- Sensors and buttons are among the cheapest on the market
- Huge catalog from Aqara, IKEA, Philips Hue, Sonoff, Third Reality, and others
- Mains-powered devices act as routers and strengthen the mesh
- Coin-cell battery devices run for a year or more
- Works fully local with Home Assistant (ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT)
Cons
- Shares the 2.4 GHz band with Wi-Fi, so channel planning matters
- Some brands bend the spec; Aqara devices can drop off third-party routers
- Needs a coordinator (hub or USB stick)
- Brand hubs like Hue only accept their own approved devices
- Bulbs used as repeaters break the mesh when someone flips the wall switch
Our take: The budget king for sensors and bulbs. Pair it with a good coordinator and plenty of plug-in repeaters and it's rock solid.
