It's this one: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805942369090.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
Sweet, thanks!
Well, the price is 16€. I don't know when the promotion apply
I'm in the U.S. and it's $4-$5. Free shipping with a $10 purchase. Surprised it's so much more in the E.U.
You're right! I've seen the offer and usually they're just for the first piece, but for that item there are no limits.
If you've not ordered from Aliexpress be aware their website is set up to display deep discounts for first time orders by default. Once you log in after your first order the discounts disappear and the prices are much higher.
Pretty crappy business practices, but when a product is 1/4 the price of buying locally, still hard to pass up. For $4 a pop I put leak sensors under every sink and toilet in the house. At the time they were $17 each on Amazon. Also be aware it is very easy to buy a wifi version instead of Zigbee because of the way the website is set up. Many Tuya wifi devices require always on Internet access.
Well that’s going to be a lot more expensive now (tariffs and all).
