Ikea's PARASOLL? I would expect that for your use-case, just knowing if a/the door was opened is already enough.

Is Ikea stuff compatible with ESPhome?

Never mind, parasoll costs like $12. I mean something like HLK-LD2420 which should be around $2. ESPHome lists many similar sensors and I was asking which one is better. Curious if anyone had any experience with any of those

No, it's not compatible. I am sorry, I misunderstood the purpose of your question.

It is compatible, since it is compatible with Zigbee2MQTT. See https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/E2013.html

Use a cheap x86 PC, install Proxmoxx, install Zigbee2MQTT, install HA.OS ... done!

They are compatible. See https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/E2013.html

Generally, a lot more Zigbee devices are compatible with Zigbee2MQTT that to HA's own "ZHA" Zigbee implementation. But Zigbee2MQTT and HomeAssistant work EXTREMELY nice together, very well integrated.

And if you have your Zigbee devices in Z2MQTT, then you can also use Node Red or similar tools for some automations, if you prefer that over the somewhat weird YAML-based automations of HA.

(Tip: use a cheap x86 PC, install Proxmoxx, install Zigbee2MQTT, install HA.OS ... done!)
