So pissed ikea moved to matter. They were a great source of cheapie sensors.

I'm using Matter with HA, works just fine. For cheap sensors you can look at Frient or Shelly.

Its not a question of compatability, matter has some inherent security flaws i'm not trucking with

IKEA is not bad but I actually prefer (whitelabel) Tuya as long as those run on AA(A).

They might even be cheaper outside the US right now. Ironically thanks to their tariffs.

I've got a few of the zigbee temp/ humidity sensors, definitely better than the ikea variant. And the ikea sockets are stupidly sized and completely cockblock a standard gpo, hate that.

Still hunting a decent AQI, will probably have to get off my arse and build one
