Hey guys,
the Aqara Xiaomi Door Sensor is in my focus. How does that work with that Zigbee stuff. Will that Sensor will get an IP from my DHCP Server? The purpose of my question is that I want to deny that they are communicating with China Servers. So my IP Cams from Xiaomi are blocked in my Router for example.
Is that possible with that Sensors?
They are Zigbee sensors so they don’t get any IP address. You can block internet access on the gateway and use only LAN communication.
Can you share how to do that?
Hm, and if I don’t use a gateway? I will use Home assistant^^
You have to have the Xiaomi Gateway in order to connect / communicate with the sensors. Then you connect Home Assistant to the gateway to „talk“ to the sensors.
Ahhh okay. did not know that. Thank you for all your answers!
It looks like Conbee/DeConz is starting to support Xiaomi sensors directly (Zigbee), if I understand this right. First out is the temp/humidity sensor:

I believe both Door/Window and Temp/Humidity sensors are working with Deconz, see this thread:
