… touched a command prompt in ~10yrs). i’m setting up an automation using the broadlink ir plugin to turn on the air con at x° but i often leave a window or door open when i’m not home so i want to have a ‘check’ so it won’t run if the door is open. i found a tuya magnetic door sensor for like $7 which seems great but everyone is saying tuya sucks so now i’m second guessing. the next cheapest option is about $50 and a brand i’ve never heard of, so not sure i could get it to connect to my home. any suggestions for a cheap way to put a ‘door open/closed’ status into such an automation?

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
