Dissecting the Zigbee Door Magnet Sensor

In 2019, I purchased the “Xiaomi Mijia Smart Home Kit,” which I truly started using in early 2020. At one point, I noticed on the app: “Door Magnet Sensor” — “Battery” — “Battery Low”; so I quickly bought a battery to replace it, but the app still indicated low battery; Dissecting the Zigbee Door Magnet Sensor however, in the “Device Consumables” section, it showed “Battery Sufficient” Dissecting the Zigbee Door Magnet Sensor (so I suspect there is a bug in the app); Dissecting the Zigbee Door Magnet Sensor

The battery attributes displayed in the device consumables section of the Mijia app

The Zigbee door magnet sensor consists of a JN5169 minimal system + reed switch; Dissecting the Zigbee Door Magnet Sensor but the performance is indeed impressive, a small battery can run for several years continuously. Dissecting the Zigbee Door Magnet Sensor

Major mainstream brands in the industry: TI, NXP, Silicon Labs; NXP’s previous mainstream models: JN5168, JN5169; the low power consumption of JN5169 is indeed remarkable, “Deep Sleep 50nA, IO WakeupDissecting the Zigbee Door Magnet Sensor so… when it comes to a product’s success, the pressure of chip selection is significant Dissecting the Zigbee Door Magnet Sensor

However, NXP does not support personal development Dissecting the Zigbee Door Magnet Sensor so it’s fine for personal experimentation; I once drew a module for the JN5169 when I was most interested, and it ran quite stably Dissecting the Zigbee Door Magnet Sensor
