It works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, reaches Matter through the Hue Bridge and is covered for 2 years against 1, while tying doors to Hue lights and the Hue Secure alarm. The Eufy Entry Sensor stays inside eufy Security: it pairs with a eufy HomeBase, can trigger its siren and eufy cameras, runs on a CR123A rated for 2 years, and beyond the eufy app it reaches only Home Assistant. Both depend on a hub, a Hue Bridge or a eufy HomeBase, so the one you already own counts for more than any spec. Choose the Hue Secure Contact Sensor for a Hue home or a mixed smart home, and the Eufy Entry Sensor to extend a eufy camera setup.

What the differences mean

Platforms

The Hue Secure Contact Sensor works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, with Matter on the Hue Bridge. The Eufy Entry Sensor works with the eufy app and Home Assistant only.

Hub

Hue uses Zigbee to a Hue Bridge. Eufy uses its own sub-GHz link to a eufy HomeBase that connects over Wi-Fi. Neither works on its own.

What a door opening can trigger

On Hue, lights and the Hue Secure alarm; on eufy, the HomeBase siren, camera sirens and recordings. One is a lighting and smart home tool, the other a camera security accessory.

Warranty

2 years for the Hue Secure Contact Sensor, 1 year for the Eufy Entry Sensor.

Size

The Hue sensor measures 69 x 22 x 30 mm and the Eufy 73 x 27 x 22 mm, similar footprints, so neither is the discreet choice.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both describe dependable detection and a quick setup, and both groups tie the sensor closely to its hub. Eufy Entry Sensor owners single out sirens, camera recordings and door chimes set off by a eufy HomeBase with no monthly fee, a CR123A that lasts for years and eufy's helpful support; they complain about app bugs after updates, a large body, a flimsy magnet housing and no Apple Home, Alexa or Google link. Hue Secure Contact Sensor owners talk about Hue lights switching on when a door opens and the Hue Secure alarm flashing lights and calling them, and like its compact look and Apple Home support. Their complaints are a premium price, no mounting screws in the box and alerts on both open and close.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
