Door and window sensors compatible with Home Assistant

Yes, 13 door and window sensors in our catalog work with Home Assistant, most of them paired straight to your own Zigbee or Z-Wave radio with no maker's hub or cloud.

Home Assistant pairs most Zigbee and Z-Wave door sensors itself, which means no maker's hub, no maker's account, and the open or close event lands in your automations in well under a second. What you need instead is the radio: a Zigbee or Z-Wave stick for those sensors, or a Thread border router plus Home Assistant's Matter support for Matter over Thread sensors. Wi-Fi door sensors are rare because Wi-Fi eats batteries, so expect to buy a radio if you do not have one.

Compatible, in our catalog: 13 of 22 door and window sensors

Check these before you buy

Match the sensor's radio to one you own. One Zigbee stick covers Zigbee sensors from many brands at once; the brand's own hub stays in the box.
Some brands (Aqara is the common one) pair fine but only stay connected through certain Zigbee repeaters. A plug-in Zigbee device near the sensor helps.
For a Matter over Thread sensor, you need both the Matter integration and a Thread border router. Home Assistant can be the border router with the right radio, or you can use one you already own.

Connects through Matter 3

These join Home Assistant through Matter, a shared standard, so no maker's cloud sits in the middle. The ones that use Thread also need a Thread border router, a radio built into some smart speakers and hubs.
