Looking for some well priced door sensors. I heard the Xfinity / Comcast ones on ebay do well and also do temperature.

Anyone have any experience with them or know if anything better priced?

I bought my two sensors two years ago now. Haven't had to replace the batteries yet and no connection issues or anything. I use one of them to turn on the lights at my front door when I open it and it's always done it's job quickly. Z-wave so ofc you'll need a dongle.
