Which one should you buy?

For most people the THIRDREALITY Zigbee Contact Sensor at $41.81 is the one to buy - if you own a 4th generation Echo or later it pairs directly with the built-in Zigbee hub, so an Alexa home gets door announcements and routines with no extra bridge, backed by 1,106 ratings at 4.3 stars, which is why it is our pick. The cheapest way in is the Mengshen 2-pack at $28.00 - two standalone WiFi sensors that need no hub at all. The SONOFF DW2 at $32.00 is the other no-hub WiFi option from an established brand. The SwitchBot Contact Sensor at $29.00 has excellent hardware but needs the SwitchBot Hub Mini, roughly 50 dollars extra, before remote alerts work. The Aqara P2 at $59.00 is the Matter-over-Thread future-proof pick if you have a Thread border router, and the Philips Hue Secure at $75.13 is the premium choice for homes already running a Hue Bridge - the best-rated sensor here at 4.7 stars.
