Aqara continues to impress with its reliable products. While this small sensor on paper doesn't offer a longer battery life than many other magnetic connectors, it has actually proved to be the best in our tests when it comes to battery life. That's an impressive achievement that makes this sensor an attractive choice.

An interesting aspect to take into account is the price. If one compares the excellent battery life with the price, it becomes clear that the Aqara magnetic sensor offers a very favorable performance/cost ratio in most cases. This makes it an obvious choice for many users looking for a reliable and affordable magnetic sensor.

For users with a Z-Wave based system, there are of course several other excellent magnetic sensors to consider. It is important to perform a careful comparison and choose the one that best suits your specific needs and requirements.

In conclusion, Aqara has delivered yet another reliable product with its magnetic sensor. It particularly excels in terms of battery life and affordability, making it a strong choice for many users. However, when choosing a magnetic sensor, it is always good to take into account the specific compatibility with your smart home ecosystem to ensure smooth integration and functionality.
