Hello ppl, someone knows a door sensor that i can connect directly in hassio?
Thnkx
Something like this?

or https://shelly.cloud/products/shelly-door-window-2-smart-home-automation-sensor/
you must be more specific. How do you want to connect the device? With wires or wirelessly.
The first one can be directly connected to Raspberry Pi, the second can be connected via MQTT.
i used a reed switch on a d1 mini with tasmota.
I use Xiaomi Door/Window sensors with a ConBee II stick to connect them to Home Assistant. Small, cheap, long battery life.

I use these https://www.banggood.com/GS-WDS07-Wireless-Door-Magnetic-Strip-433MHz-for-Security-Alarm-Home-System-p-1174915.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=UK
With a Sonoff RF bridge flashed with Tasmota.
This allows me to have open and closed signals and any other 433Mhz sensors feed into HA OS. Such as a door bell, a water leak sensor and a personal alarm button for a person I care for.
Also I used this post to manage all the 433Mhz sensors and can add them without having to restart HA OS.

Clarification:
hassio Home Assistant OS
The term hassio was deprecated several months ago. Just like Myanmar is no longer called Burma, the new name is Home Assistant OS and no longer hassio. If there’s a need to abbreviate it, use HA OS and not Hass OS because that term refers to something completely different in the Home Assistant project (it’s the abbreviation used for the underlying operating system and not the Home Assistant application).
As for suggested door sensors, there are many that work with Home Assistant but you should probably decide which technology you wish to use. For example, there are door sensors that operate using one of the following technologies: Zigbee, z-wave, 433MHz RF, Wi-Fi, etc.
Yes, Home Assistant can support a mix of technologies but you may wish to standardize on one otherwise you will need to purchase transceivers for each wireless technology you use (with the exception of Wi-Fi).
Yeah cos that rots your brain !
It would be interesting to use “goggles” that converts EM fields in the RF range into the visible light range; sort of an 'augmented-reality" device. You’d be able to see Zigbee, z-wave, Wi-Fi, AM, FM, microwave, etc as colors shimmering in the air around you. I think it would surprise people just how pervasive they are in our environment. I recently proved that to myself when I got my ZigBee pool lights to work: over 12 meters away from the hub and nearly a half-meter below ground. I don’t know if that ‘rots my brain’ but it ‘blows my mind’.
