Hello,
I’m looking for a keyboard for my alarm using alarmo on home assistant. I found this but it’s too expensive : https://frient.com/products/intelligent-keypad/
Do you know similar products ?
Thanks
I’ve seen tons of people buying these Xfinity Xhk1-ue keypads to repurpose for dirt cheap. I’m seeing some for less than $20. Lots of guides online.
You can also find more modern versions of things on AliXpress if you know specific brands to look for.
I have some of the Xfinity keypads, bit of a pain to setup but they work well.
What are the brands to look for in Ali? I’ve never really seen anything.
You can look around, but the ones I went looking for are Tuya brands:
- Aqara
- Moe’s
- Sonoff
And I would stay from anything that is not battery operated. I’d never hardwire anything ordered from AE into my house for obvious reasons. You also have to accept that some pieces you get may not be the best, but I only get sensors, bulbs, and controllers and haven’t had any issues yet.
Ah you just meant “things” not keypads. I was asking specifically about keypads.
Yeah I have a ton of generic tuya ZigBee devices, they work great. So far only real complaint is bulbs that act as repeaters, they really shouldn’t since they can be turned off at the switch.
