xiaomi, mija or aqara hub ?

Post by fireport »

After another water leakage from my washer, I decided to acquire a water leak sensor compatible with Domoticz but, now, I'm stuck because I don't clearly understand which hub I should buy among the three in the subject.
Which one offers much compatibility with its accessories in Domoticz and the Xiaomi plugin?
Thank you

Just buy a cc2531 USB stick and run zigbee2mqtt, which you can then integrate with domoticz.

Or buy a CC1352P_2 then default the range is a little bit beter and even very good with an external antenna.
There are some nice housings on Thingiverse.com

Increasing the power of the controller créât to have an unbalanced system. As the devices won’t have such power. The end result is controler reaches the end devices but the devices might not !

I am sorry, but I am actually using one.
Might it be that that device also has an better receiver.
Better you can connect an external antenna.
An external antenna works both ways.
My practical experience is that the mesh network works a lot better then with my previous stick.
Besides that the device has more memory and faster processor.
