New Aqara motion sensor

No idea how well this works with HA, and no reviews yet on Amazon, but looks interesting!

I have been using Aqara sensors for awhile and they have been great. No issues with them for me they are my “go to” motion sensor. I expect these to just be a great improvement.

This new sensor explains why they disabled the “hardware hack” on the latest release of the older version. Personally I can’t wait for this one to be available

They are sold on Amazon here in Germany for about 30€, availability should not be the biggest problem. Actually they are supported only by Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA is in beta stage.
My first experience with them is that they are nearly the same as the old ones but without the need for the hardware hack and with double battery power.
