Is this aqara sensor good or is there anything better?

Assuming those are not clones (i dont even know if such a thing exsists), those are good sensors. I am actually in the process of replacing all of my window sensors with these today because the sensors i bought, while cheaper, have issues with not reporting open after being open for a while. The aqara ones 100% do not have this issue and are now my sensor of choice.

These are the sensors I am getting rid of. I am only mentioning them because you will 100% see these everywhere and get tempted. They WILL report closed when open if open long enough. https://ebay.us/m/JZyW93

Go with the aqara
