Hi any recommendations for either pir/motion sensor or tilt sensor that can be usb powered for use inside a mailbox, so it needs to be small in size. already tested this, but it was not recognized as a known/supported device https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006015204946.html?spm=a2g0o.order_d…

thanks for the tip tested the test version of the app. but the sensor was not identified. [image] i see multiple other threads now for the same device. looks like it could be supported, but it can also be a rip-off on AliExpress that’s not working. …

The manufacturer ID of yours doesn’t match ID’s in the PR you’re linking to. It doesn’t matter if devices look similar (or even exactly the same) to devices that are supported already, if the ID’s don’t match the device isn’t supported.

At least not a TuYa device, with those you can never be certain that it’s supported.

Battery powered devices does not work well in the winter. But a good powerbank have worked for me outdoors in the winter. OK I will look into the fork.

There’s few usb powered sensors Aeotec multisensor 6 or 7 can be an idea. It’s a zwave device. Powering by USB is possible https://aeotec.com/products/aeotec-multi-sensor-7/ Only the operating temp is not below 0°C, but the Tuya sensor you picked had the same lower limit btw. https://aeotec.fre…

thank you, yes i am considering that device as well. also a door and window sensor with usb could also work. i have mostly z-wave devices 70+, and the overall range is also better than zigbee.

YW! OK, having a zwave mesh alr is even better. About the 0°C limit: for over 3 years, I have several standard Tuya and Sonoff devices outdoors (protected from water/ moist from above) and in my non-heated shed, all survived several winter days with -18° C as coldest It’s worth to take the “gambl…
