Thanks for the video. Do you know a solution why i can’t connect it to Alexa? The 1.gen connected automatically. I have a hub as well so it should work, but not.. any idea? Thank you in advance!
Please help. What elements do I need to make it work: I need to be able to monitor doors and windows in the house while in and outside the house. Example: I leave on holiday and want to be notified if doors or windows are open. Or I want to know which are open before I leave. How? :)
You need xiaomi gateway depending which sensors you use. The best is probably xiaomi mijia multimode gateway it has everything incorporated both bluetooth and zigbee. Then you need sensors for each door. Either this one or Aqara or Mijia door sensor.
@@dalanik so if I connect it with the Xiaomi Smart Home Hub 2 via bluetooth, and I connect the Hub to the wi-fi, I will be able to get notifications from the sensor, when I am not home?
Hello, how i can connect it with the getaway? I have the first Xiaomi hub and first sensor, it works well. Now i got the sensor 2 and it can't connect to hub, why?
@@dalanik and if i connect to the hub a speaker with bluetooth, can i make it? When a guest open the door, the hub let the connected speaker play a melody or noise sound?
"Sir, I wanted to ask if the Xiaomi Door and Window Sensor 2 can be connected with the Bluetooth gateway of the Mi 360 2K Pro Camera because I have both products, but the Xiaomi Door and Window Sensor 2 is not connecting with the Bluetooth gateway of the Mi 360 2K Pro Camera. Kindly guide me on this matter."
Sorry, I don't use Alexa, but I don't think it does. Almost no sensors, both Zigbee or BLE work with either Google Home or Alexa - There's also no much point, since there's nothing to control....
As any BLE device, it is connecting during setup to the phone's bluetooth. After setup, it will (or should) connect to the neares BLE gateway automatically, after 5-10 minutes...
@@stevenhendrawan7 Yes, it is a pity BLE devices can't be used to trigger an alarm, but you can still use them for other automations (i.e. turn on the light etc)
It can trigger the automation, not the alarm, that is true. But it is more the fault of the new Mijia multimode gateway which doesn't have a built in speaker, so it can't sound an alarm.
If I remember correctly, this is BLE sensor, soi it connects via bluetooth. You just connect it to the phone, and then in couple of minutes it connects automatically to your BLE hub. So you must have BLE hub. Otherwise it works only through your phone.
@@dalanik that is solved. Now i have a problem with logs. It doesn't log open/close. Dim is ok, but sensor doesn't log when i open or close the door. My frame is from metal, does it matter?
@@ladoradman6720 Yes, it could matter. I had problem like that with my entry door since the frame is metal.... Had to put a piece of plastic between the magnet and the door frame
@@dalanik Sorry, this comment is a bit old, but this was the only video I found with this issue. No matter how much or how I try, I cant connect my Huawei phone to the sensor... I get that same error over and over for hours, or even days now... Any idea?
i cannot connect it with my xiaomi hub cause it has only ZigBee connection!! even if i connect it through my phone's Bluetooth when o leave my home it disconnects!!! can someone help me??
Taková ta lehká nervozita “připojí se nebo ne?” 😅.... “sakra...” ... Ale asi bych do toho nešel? .. nevím, pravdou je, ze u klasické verze je takové to riziko v tom, ze ta menší část muže dopadnout. Zase komplexně je to takové více nenapadne, oproti této verzi s BLE 🙂
Není problém připojení, a funguje to dobře. Jen nevidím žádné výhody oproti zigbee a hlavně ta část s magnetem je příliš úzká a zda se mi že nedrží tak dobře.
@@dalanik Tak to by se dalo řešit lepší páskou, třeba 3M, když na to přijde. Bral si jen to jedno na test , nebo více? V rámci automatizaci , aniž bych dával třeba “prodlevu”, mám tam viceromoznosti nastavení?
@@kubiiiczech Zatim to drzi :) Bral jsem jen 1, mam uz vsude Aqara nebo Mijia. Co se tyka automatizaci, je tam navic jen pokud je svetlo nebo tma. Snad je to videt ve videu?

@@jankaa5975 Yes
Please can you connect more than one at a time eg having one at the back door and one at the entrance.
Yes you can have as many as you want. Don't forget that you need a gateway.
@@dalanik do you mean the home hub thing that needs to be connected to the internet?
Yes
@@dalanik thank you so much for your promptness and vivid explanation. Please which would you recommend the Home hub 2 (New,) or the old one?
This door sensor requires BLE, so the newer one with BLE and Zigbee.
Hello Dalibor, can you setup the he new Xiaomi Mijia Door Window Sensor 2 as an alarm trigger device? I have tried and I can´t. Thanks
No you can't. From what I see, you can only set Zigbee devices as a trigger to alarm.
@@dalanik Thanks!
Already paired with BLE devices, i want to ask this same thing,can we use if then situation? And what the use of dim/bright ambient light then?
Hello, how i can connect it with the getaway? I have the first Xiaomi hub and first sensor, it works well. Now i got the sensor 2 and it can't connect to hub, why?
This is a BLE device, not Zigbee. You need BLE HUB or other xiaomi device with integrated BLE hub.
@dalanik a jaký tedy potřebuji? Myslela jsem, že to se základním hubem bude fungovat jako ten starý sensor, co mám. Poradíš, co mám tedy dokoupit?
Vyřešila jsem to přes kameru, díky
I have two questions, for it to work I have to have bluetooth activated.
And if yes, how far is the connection with the mobile?
Yes you need bt. It is hard to tell, but probably same as Zigbee, 10-20 m
Do opening and closing events get saved into the event history log if I am NOT at home and my phone is NOT connected to the internet?
Yes, because the sensor is connected to the BLE gateway.
Does this sensor work ..if i have no wi-fi at my home ?
No. You need wifi to setup and for notificarions...
How can i let it make alarm sound when a guest open the door to enter my shop?
No, it was possible with the old Mijia hub that had speaker, but not anymore.
@@dalanik 😥 so the new one is a stepping back
@@gerdancs Well the new one(s) have Zigbee 3 and Bluetooth (BLE), but no speaker unfortunately :)
@@dalanik and if i connect to the hub a speaker with bluetooth, can i make it? When a guest open the door, the hub let the connected speaker play a melody or noise sound?
No, i dont think so unfortunately
"Sir, I wanted to ask if the Xiaomi Door and Window Sensor 2 can be connected with the Bluetooth gateway of the Mi 360 2K Pro Camera because I have both products, but the Xiaomi Door and Window Sensor 2 is not connecting with the Bluetooth gateway of the Mi 360 2K Pro Camera. Kindly guide me on this matter."
It should be able to, are both devices for the same region? Unfortunately I can't help much since I don't own Mi Camera, I use different gateways....
hi there...do you know if it works with Alexa?
Sorry, I don't use Alexa, but I don't think it does. Almost no sensors, both Zigbee or BLE work with either Google Home or Alexa - There's also no much point, since there's nothing to control....
Do u need a Xiaomi bluetooth gateway for this door sensor?
Yes, multimode gateway (includes BLE) or ceiling light by Yeelight or other Yeelight lights which have BLE gateway.
Does this work only with the hub?
Yes you need BLE hub or some other device which has BLE hub, like yeelight ceiling light etc.
Hey, i have a problem that notification about open door isn't pushing through blocked phone. It comes just when i unblock phone. Can this be fixed?
No problem, just set this on your phone : c.mi.com/thread-1545043-1-0.html
@@dalanik thanks , will try
Can I check app if I’m outside the house?
Yes, if you have BLE gateway
Is this working on global xiaomi gateway 3? Thank you.
Sorry I'm on China so I can't check...
@@dalanik thank you
No funciona
@@eljosecl gracias
can i use apple homekit instead of the mijia app?
Since this is BLE sensor, you need a BLE hub. With Aqara hub, you can use homekit
mine won't connect to BLE gateway, do you knowledge in this matter?
As any BLE device, it is connecting during setup to the phone's bluetooth. After setup, it will (or should) connect to the neares BLE gateway automatically, after 5-10 minutes...
@@dalanik but can’t trigger alarm when open, so what’s the use?
@@stevenhendrawan7 Yes, it is a pity BLE devices can't be used to trigger an alarm, but you can still use them for other automations (i.e. turn on the light etc)
@@dalanik noted, thank you
Does it have an alarm sound when windows are oppened.
You can make automation to make sound if you have 2nd generation zigbee hub
@@dalanik how,but its just bluetooth not zigbee
@@raizelcadiz1715 aha, you're right. You then must have 2nd generation hub and another BLE hub, which is in lot of ceiling lights etc.
@@dalanik ok, so what is the purpose of mijia door and window sensor 2 if it cant trigger an alarm? Thank for the response
It can trigger the automation, not the alarm, that is true. But it is more the fault of the new Mijia multimode gateway which doesn't have a built in speaker, so it can't sound an alarm.
You didn't show how to connect to the hub. I'm having trouble to connecting it to it. Only works with my phone close to it -.-

If I'm away from home does I get a notification of someone open my door
Yes
How to get push messages notifications?
You just create automation....
There is no way to i can set it up. 30 times error 28 at verification
I suppose you have BLE gateway?
@@dalanik that is solved. Now i have a problem with logs. It doesn't log open/close. Dim is ok, but sensor doesn't log when i open or close the door. My frame is from metal, does it matter?

Had no idea what you were doing after wasting my time watching the whole video
El producto es malísimo, en el video queda en evidencia
It works fairly well, but, as I said in the video, the dimensons are a bit strange :)
let's be honest, the product is garbage.
ahahaha, well, I wouldn't call it garbage, but it has weird dimensions... but it works just fine
