Summary
The Alfawise Z1 is a Smart Home Security kit that comes with a set of sensors and a gateway to connect these to your smart phone. Both the sensors and the gateway are of good quality and well designed so they are as discrete as a sensor can be. Since all is Tuya compatible, they automatically benefit from the many features of this platform and the integration with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and off course or favorite smart home system Home Assistant. Whether the Alfawise is worth it depends on it’s current price on Gearbest. The biggest alternative is just buying the sensors and gateway from Xiaomi Aqara separately. You will lose a bit of convenience but the quality, integration options and price are similar. You should check the total price and consider which option is the best buy for you.
