New door sensor Xiaomi Aqara - Full review, configuration and demonstration of scenarios. Opening sensor for Xiaomi smart home system doors and windows How to install xiaomi door opening sensor

Little by little, products of a well-known company appeared at my house, and over time I began to think, why not create something really similar to. But to control the house, you need various sensors, setting timers and creating various conditions workings of this or that clever pribludy. To do this, you need to either buy a set or separately buy sensors and a controller that will separately connect to them and process their commands. I added another camera to this list, a review of which will be coming soon, since the main focus is not on smart home, but on protection, we are starting to build a home security system together with Xiaomi

✔ IF YOU DO NOT BUY A KIT

Xiaomi Mi Smart WiFi Remote Control Multi-functional Gateway -
Xiaomi Mi Smart WiFi Socket - ZigBee Version -
Xiaomi Smart Wireless Switch -
Xiaomi Smart Door and Windows Sensor -
Xiaomi Smart Human Body Sensor -

I bought everything separately, but in one order.

Therefore, I do not have a gift box, as in the review logo, but just a bunch of small boxes.

Separately, a month ago, I bought a camera from Xiaomi, so let it be on this list too.

This is the most important part in a smart home, the controller of various sensors. Well, part-time night lamp, howler and radio.

The fork, surprisingly, is not Chinese, but Australian.

But this is a huge plus, since a simple adapter from a Chinese plug is very tight, but fits on the contacts, does not hang out and is pulled out along with the gateway, and does not remain in the outlet.

There is only one physical control button on the Xiaomi gateway. She can turn off the night light or turn it off, turn off the radio or turn off the alarm siren.

Additionally, a reset clip is included in the kit.

Instructions for working with the Xiaomi gateway, showing the connection process and a QR code for downloading the application on.

Screws are hidden under small rubber plugs.

On the front is a small speaker through which we will listen to the radio or alarm.

✔ ALARM SETUP FROM XIAOMI

We go to the initial screen and return to configuring various parameters of the gateway, sensors and alarms.

We set the alarm to turn on automatically, choose the time when we are not at home and the days.
ATTENTION - CHINESE TIME, that is, 08:00-19:00 will work in Kiev from 02:00-13:00. The first time I went to the toilet at night and the alarm went off and everything lit up, I put a lot of building material.

We choose the triggering of which sensors will excite our alarm.

The response time is for you to 100% manage to leave the coverage area of all sensors until the alarm is armed. I set it to 15 seconds.

IN advanced settings you can set the volume of the signal, turn the red LED on or off, set the duration of the signal, or even turn on the silent notification on smartphones.

You can set the backlight time when the sensor is ALWAYS on. Or configure it to work with certain sensors. In my case, I set it to work at night when the motion sensor is triggered.

For those who often wake up events or dumplings in the kitchen, you can set an alarm. And for those who are used to turning off the alarm clock with one touch of the smartphone, without getting up from the couch waiting for a bummer, you can check the box that the alarm clock will stop only after pressing the button on the gateway.

I have already purchased a separate smart button - Original Xiaomi Smart Wireless Switch thanks to which it is possible to control various devices as a switch smart home.

But it can also be made into a wireless doorbell button. gateway settings when working with a doorbell from Xiaomi.

✔ SETUP AND CAPABILITIES OF SENSORS FROM XIAOMI

Each sensor separately has its own settings and capabilities.
For example, a temperature sensor.

In the settings, you can see the history for the day / month or year for changes in temperature and humidity, there is a readable graph. Create your own script where to set actions when the temperature or humidity increases or decreases.

In the rest of the sensors, you can set various scenarios (or apply those already set by the Chinese) and view the work logs.

✔ ALARM FROM XIAOMI IN WORK

I plugged the gateway into a socket in the corridor, and closer to the router, and as a way to illuminate the road to the toilet at night, the best solution.

I didn’t set the brightness to the maximum, in the photo it’s about 50%, there is enough light to walk along the corridor and go to the toilet or kitchen without turning on the light. And here there is one chip. The light itself can CONSTANTLY burn from, say, 20-00 to 22-30 (configurable in the software). I decided to make it more economical, from 18-00 to 8-00 if the motion sensor, which is installed at the beginning of the corridor, is triggered, the light in the gateway lights up for 1 minute.
Now the child goes to the toilet at night without turning on the light in his room or in the corridor, not in order to save money, but in order to protect his eyes, because welding =)

I have 3 sensors, in each room. Fastened approximately in the center of the room at the level of the head. (although where to mount and how it is already everyone's business). Attaches to native tape without problems, does not fall off.

I attached the motion sensor to the door jamb, fastened simply with a strip of double-sided cattle, after degreasing the surface. The corner was set so that it did not work on the dog (spaniel), but saw all the movement both from the front door and from the kitchen and the nursery and the hall.

I attached the sensor to the door using the native double sided tape, and the response sensor had to be attached with a small strip of adhesive tape to the sidewall. There should be a gap of up to 2 cm between them.

Now the principle of signaling from Xiaomi is this. When I leave home, I arm the system, in case of operation of opening doors, windows or balcony doors, or if there is movement in the motion sensor coverage area - the gateway starts yelling with a siren that is not its own voice, + there is a notification to all three phones. Before coming home, before opening the door, I disarm.
The second principle is that automatically from 00-00 to 07-30 security is activated on the door sensor - there are cases when thieves entered the house at night, and while everyone was sleeping, they took out what was wrong. Now, even if you forget to close the door at night, when you open the door, the alarm bellow will work + the light will turn on + a loud notification on the phone.

A smart home system will not function normally without various sensors, movement, opening doors or windows, even a humidity and temperature sensor fits perfectly into this organism. But also do not forget about security, now this issue is as relevant as possible. Thanks to autonomous motion or opening sensors that can be installed even in a place where there is no electricity. All sensors are controlled by one control unit - a smart home controller or gateway. In addition to tracking sensors, it can be a great night light, alarm clock, security siren or even online radio. Moreover, the radio can be tuned to various channels, not just Chinese. Thanks to the ability to create various scenarios, it is now possible to automatically turn on the light at night when moving, say, to the kitchen. Thanks to the "smart" socket, if you wake up at the time you set, the controller detects this thanks to the motion sensor and turns on the kettle or coffee pot for morning coffee. There are a huge number of conditions of use and everything is limited only by your imagination and needs.

My Mi home is almost at the level of development that I needed.
A decent part of its automation is the door opening sensor.
Surprise guests with the voice of Jarvis (f. Iron Man)?
Details below.

Supplied in a simple bag

Box in a minimalist style.

On the reverse side are the dimensions and temperature range of operation.

First of all meets the instruction.

Everything is in Chinese, but the pictures are clear.

The sensor consists of two parts.

Comes with a spare set of double sided tape.

The cutout is located on the side of the second half of the sensor.

Eats standard tablet (CR2032)

Paperclip hole, push to sync.

According to the standard, I add a new device.

There is a newer version of the sensor, highlighted it.

We get graphic instructions

It's very easy to add.

The instructions say to keep away from metal objects, which confused me: on front door I put.

Faced a problem: height difference.

Found in the waste from the repair suitable item. Spare double tape came in handy.

Risk to the counterpart.

I install it on the door. Will it work?

Yeah everything is OK.

Well, now let's give free rein to Leni!
Automation.
Conscious scenario automatic shutdown lighting in the apartment.

Added a delay of one minute after the door is closed.

What about guests? I add automatic switching on of the light in the hallway when the door is opened.

If you do not add a delay, then it seems that the light has been turned on.
I keep in mind that after closing a minute before shutdown.
So, I'm making adjustments:
- I am editing the scenario of leaving home, the delay has been increased to 5 minutes.
- Scenario "guests": the light comes on when the door is opened, a delay of 2 seconds.
Now we need to add an item: the script's running time.
When is light needed? morning and evening. Guests do not come in the morning, so we turn it on for the evening. It gets dark now after 7-8 pm, so we'll do it.

At 5:00? all of a sudden I'll come home myself in the morning ...

The problem is, I came home, I met the light in the hallway, I go to the kitchen, the motion sensor turns on the light, and after closing the door (after 5 minutes), everything goes out. I decide: I limit the time of the auto-shutdown script from 6 am to 6 pm. Script conflict resolved. But you need to turn off the light with the same automation in the hallway.
I add a delay and shutdown to the script.
