Buyer questions

Q: Do these sensors work without a gateway?
No, ZigBee smart sensors must be paired with an Aqara Hub or Xiaomi Gateway 2/3 gateway. The gateway acts as a central control hub that receives signals from all sensors and transmits commands to the smart home.

Q: Does the battery last long and how to change it?
The CR2450 battery typically lasts 1–2 years depending on the sensor type and usage intensity. Replacing the battery is very simple – open the front part of the sensor and replace the old battery with a new one, then restart it in the app.

Q: Which sensors are included and can I buy them separately?
This set includes motion, temperature/humidity, water leak, and door/window sensors. If you only need one type, you can buy them separately according to your needs from the TopSmart store catalog.

ZigBee smart sensors are a great investment in creating a modern, self-sufficient home. They consume little energy, are easy to install, and provide real-time control from a mobile app. If you want to increase the level of security and comfort, these sensors are your ideal choice.
