The interesting thing here is not the sensor, which is a magnet and a reed switch, but the radio.
Full details →Who the Govee RGBIC LED Strip Lights 16.4ft Wi-Fi App Sync is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants multi-colour and flowing effects rather than one colour along the whole strip.
Avoid it if: Anyone who needs to cut the strip to fit an exact run, and anyone on Apple Home.
Who the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 is for
Buy it if: Anyone with a Thread border router already in the house -- most recent Apple, Amazon and Google hub devices are one.
Avoid it if: Anyone without a Thread border router. Thread is a mesh with no route to your phone otherwise.
