    Typically wifi consumes considerable energy for handshake so use wifi on battery isn't the greatest idea. but using it with mains power is quite good

    If you want to use battery operated devices, you must use a better protocol than wifi

      A door sensor might not get that many actuations though, so depending on how often the door is opened/closed, even wifi might get pretty good battery life.

        @rockryan Action (750+ stores in Europe) recently added the 'LSC smart connect' series.
        The 'LSC Smart Connect doorsensor' (https://www.action.com/nl-nl/p/lsc-smart-connect-deursensor/) costs less than 10 Euros.

        And the best thing, it contains an ESP8266 so it runs alternative firmware (Tasmota, ESP-Easy, Arduino, ...) :man_dancing:

          With battery powered sleeping wifi device will be always delay after door switch sensor action and message sending.
          Find AP, connect to it etc.
          Couple od seconds.
          Maybe good for alarm, but not for switch light.

              Yes, good battery life time, but not good response time.
              You open the door and receive message about it after couple of seconds.
              With Arduino and rfm69 or NRF24 it is much better.

                  looking for information about PIR and door sensors.
                  I found this
                  https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/33058098383.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000060.2.7a1047c2wCrUam&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.146401.0&scm_id=1007.13339.146401.0&scm-url=1007.13339.146401.0&pvid=d970617b-6cf7-4378-b601-8f064a73faa8

                  Very very low price for a very very interesting product..

                    I have LSC Smart door sensor, it works great. Now I can't imagine my life without smart technologies.
