| MQTT | Works Local | Cheap sensors work as expected via Z2M, no Tuya cloud; many users agreeSaved copyi buy the cheapest zigbee sensors from ali (typically tuya) and they all work as expected. Mind you, these are simple sensors. Temperature, humidity, open/close window door sensor, smoke alarm, leak detector, luminosity, motion etc. i run them locally through Z2M with a zigbee dongle so i dont connect to tuya network or anything. i wouldn't buy anything more expensive. for the functionality i expect from them (data reporting to use with dashboards and automations) they are perfect.

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.
