I find the Hue motion sensors are best out of the ones I've tried (but the price matches that). Temperature sensors in the ones I had were both a couple of degrees out which I had to correct in HA.
I have some Zigbee xiaomi temperature sensors which were ok once set up but required lots of resetting and messing around to get recognised. Nice and neat though, these ones

Yeah I was snooping around for some hue motion sensors but nowhere has them in stock which leads me to believe they’ve been discontinued.
I dug out the tasmotised rf bridge I had from a few years ago and have it communicating with home assistant, so ordered a kerui motion and contact sensor (as they transmit both open and close codes) to see if they’re any more reliable.
I guess temperature is the one I’d like to be sure is rock solid, and maybe a Shelly h&t is the way to go.
What temperature/motion/contact sensors are people using in their home assistant setups? I picked up a handful of sonoff zigbee sensors and after a couple of weeks of running steadily I had one motion sensor and one temperature sensor drop out last week, and concerned any other drops might cause complications with some automations (particularly a temperature sensor linked to my central heating switch).
Preference is for an off the shelf solution as the diy esp based sensors can be a bit unsightly without access to a 3d printer. Not too tied to protocol, open to WiFi, zigbee or rf.
