frient Entry Sensor 2 Pro — Well-designed Zigbee door and window sensor with reliable, fast open/close detection

Quick verdict

A nicely designed door and window sensor that does exactly what it should. It detects open and close, reports over Zigbee, and stays completely local. The Danish design stands out compared to the generic look of budget sensors. If you are in the EU and already running a Zigbee coordinator, this is a dependable pick for securing doors and triggering automations.

Standout: Well-designed Zigbee door and window sensor with reliable, fast open/close detection.

Local control facts

  • Home Assistant: zha integration, Local Polling (home-assistant.io, checked Sep 10, 2026)

Why it stands out

  • clean Scandinavian design that looks at home on modern doors and windows
  • reliable Zigbee contact sensing with fast open/close reporting
  • works with ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT out of the box

Reasons to hesitate

  • requires a Zigbee coordinator hub
  • primarily available in EU markets and can be tricky to find elsewhere
  • no extra features like tilt or vibration detection

Best for

  • EU users building a Zigbee-based security and automation setup
  • Home Assistant users who prefer well-designed, no-cloud contact sensors

Avoid if
