My Recommendations

Smart watch TicWatch Pro 5 under 300€ before codes with shipping from EU warehouse. My review

Anker PowerConf S330 speakerphone recommended for a Home Assistant voice satellite.

Morefine M6 N100 mini PC with a really small form factor. DDR5 memory, WIFI6 and a 2.5G LAN port.

ZY-M100 5.8Ghz presence sensor. The original best buy remains a best buy sensor.

ZG-205 Zigbee or Wi-Fi 5.8 Ghz human presence and illuminance sensor. Wall mounting options make the positioning easier.

Athom sound reactive WLED controller, the most complete and still affordable WLED controller in the market, just plug and play. Also available as a kit with PSU and LED strip.

iH-F001 Zigbee door/window sensor. One of the smallest contact sensors, works with Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant ZHA. Runs on CR2032 batteries.

ZB-GW04 EFR32MG21 USB stick. A Zigbee stick with the same chip as SkyConnect and can be reflashed to Thread or Multiprotocol firmware with a web flasher.

PV28-CW Tuya Wi-Fi air quality sensor with display and alarm. Measures temperature, humidity, PM, CO2 (uses true NDIR sensor), TVOC and HCHO. Integrates in HA with Tuya-Local.

Tuya water level sensor and pump controller.Integrates in HA using Tuya-Local custom component.

Atorch S1WP power monitoring plug with display. Available in many plug types. Has fast power readings with high precision. Integrates in HA using Tuya-Local custom component but I’m working on esphome+libretiny support.

Addressable lights that aren’t a LED strip. I’ve connected these lights to a WLED controller instead of using the Tuya one.

My Recommendations and Finds

  • an N100 mini PC for your smart home server and more. This wipes the floor with the usually recommended SBCs with only 7w idle power consumption.
  • BMAX MaxPad i9 Plus tablet 10.1-inch. Cost effective tablet for a smart home dashboard, comes with clean stock Android. Warning, it is not fast enough for normal daily use.
  • Qidi 3D printers:
    • X-Smart 3 as a small entry level printer. 339€ with coupon QIDIS3
    • X-Plus 3 that can print almost any filament you can get your hands on with its enclosed actively heated chamber. 629$ with coupon PLUS3QIDIUS
    • There’s also X-Max 3 if you print HUGE things. 949€ with code QIDIM3 . Qidi’s support is excellent and reponsive and that’s value you appreciate when you encounter issues.
  • 6kg of Creality ABS in mixed colors. I really love how well it prints in my Qidi X-Plus 3.
  • Aqara door/windows sensors are the most recommended Zigbee contact sensors on Home Assistant discord
  • Aqara wireless Zigbee wall switches have the typical great build quality and design Aqara provides
  • Sonoff ZBMINI Zigbee relay module. My review
