Battery operated door sensors , is zigbee the right choice_

  1. Which sonoff zigbee stick? I believe sonoff has 2 (or 3?) now. And have you updated the firmware of the sonoff stick?
  2. Also which Tradfri devices? I mean was it the battery in the control buttons or in the shades (or both, or something else)?
    Oh and have you updated the firmware of those Tradfri devices?
  3. Also was that ZHA or zigbee2mqtt (or something else) in your setup? This does make a difference when it comes to Tradfri, it seems.

I am interested in this similar setup, and recent reports in this forum indicated good results from the combination of sonoff zigbee usb dongle plus + Tradfri shortcut botton + zigbee2mqtt.
… Hence the ask.
