The Aqara Door and Window Sensor P1 presents a significant upgrade from its predecessors, featuring a sleek, tubular design that houses a single CR123A battery, providing an impressive five-year lifespan. The sensor's trigger distance can be adjusted using the Aqara app, with options of 10 mm, 20 mm, or 30 mm, offering greater customisation for users. Furthermore, the P1 is equipped with tamper-proof technology, ensuring you receive a push notification if someone attempts to remove the sensor from its location. Compatible with Apple HomeKit and utilising Zigbee 3.0, the device does require a hub for operation.
