| Zigbee Home Automation | Partly works Local | Rock solid but reports only open/closed, not tilt angleSaved copyAn alternative tilt sensor (Zigbee) you may want to try is the one by ThirdReality. The upside is that they seem to work rock-solid; the downside is that they don't report (at least over ZHA) the *angle* of the tilt; just "opened" (tilted) or "closed" (not tilted). Also, I'd avoid myQ like a used Kleenex in a TB ward. 😝 Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-04 | |
| Zigbee | Partly works | Only problem device of 27 Zigbee devices; drops, blamed on rare useSaved copyI currently have 27 Zigbee devices, and only 1 is a problem. The problem device is a a Third Reality tilt sensor on my garage door. At first I thought the issue was due to connectivity, but after adding smart plug for the garage freezer, I have ruled that out. I believe the real issue is lack of use, since the garage is detached and only used for projects. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-08 |
Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
