Hello everybody new to hass and interested in using the Xiamo Mi Gateway and components. I noticed there are a couple of versions out there and multiple vendors.
Which version integrates best with hass Gateway 2 or 3? (Interested in the 2 since its cheaper but prefere the easiest integration)
Iāve found that GearBest usually has the best prices, Iāve ordered almost everything XIaomi from them. Wait for deals though, they regularly have sales and give out discount codes. (not sure where youāre from, a search for GearBest / Xiaomi discount codes should find you some good sites.)
I have the gateway v2, but if I bought now Iād definitely go with v3. (It has a built-in IR transciever)
The sensors youāve linked to are v1 sensors, I went with v2 cause they look better (in my opinion) and the v2 āBodyā sensor also measures Lux and comes with the mounting foot. (The door sensor only has cosmetic changes in v2)
Thanks @mvdarend do you happen to have links to the v2 sensors none of these sites seem to label their products correctly. My fear is buying v1 products. Thanks again
How do you tell which version the gateway is? Iām not seeing this specified in the listings on gearbest (by itself or with other sensors included). Are v3 gateways for sale anywhere?
I am currently using Gateway v2 with a combination of v1 and v2 sensors.
I like the GW2 as it has some built in sounds that can be triggered, as well as the ability add your own MP3 files. (I believe GW3 has this ability too).
It also has a built in RGB light which I use as a night light, as well as having a built in Lux sensor.
