I get that it is a cheaper solution, but how pleased are you with responsiveness and reliability of the IKEA stuff?

Their auto blinds were awful. Original warranty was 10 years, they were so unreliable they shortened the warranty and after replacing 2 of my blind told me this is it. So when my blind goes bad again I'm going to have to fight with the manager.

Based on two days with the motion sensor the responsiveness feels very good. The reduction in hops may be the key there. It’s too early to tell about the connection reliability but I’ve been using IKEA zigbee stuff for years with no issues. The build quality of the sensor and their new switches is very high.
