What's your go-to brand for Zigbee devices? (self.homeassistant)

Currently I'm using a mix of Hue for lighting and Tradfri for blinds and switches. What are some good brands to expand a smarthome? Are some brands better for a specific category?

My Sonoff motion sensors have been nothing but trouble. Other Zigbee stuff (and other Sonoff stuff, like temperature/humidity sensors) have worked fine - it's just the motion and door sensors. I guess YMMV.

I have bought a lot of Sonoff products myself. The temperature/humidity sensors work excellent and on the spot. On the contrary the door sensors (2 out of 3 )tend to disconnect. The same goes for the motion sensors.

I ll try my luck with the aqara sensors.
