Looking for some well priced door sensors. I heard the Xfinity / Comcast ones on ebay do well and also do temperature.

Anyone have any experience with them or know if anything better priced?

I'm by no means an expert, and I'm not sure what API keys you are referring to. I know that Tuya smart devices usually have two versions, a wifi and a Zigbee one. The wifi ones require you to add them using a terrible smartphone app, and the integration with Home assistant sucks. The Zigbee ones work like any other zigbee device, locally controlled. I have several Tuya Zigbee devices which works great, they are integrated in home assistant using zigbee2mqtt.
