New IKEA motion, door, and water zigbee sensors under $10 - will these work with Home assistant? (www.theverge.com)

They're at the right price for an impulse buy but it'll be another month or two before I move so I don't have HA set up. I know other IKEA zigbee stuff works fine, but will these new ones?

Yeah (thought they only work with the newer IKEA controller), I just wasn't sure if new drivers had to be written or if they'd pair "out of the box"

The new hub requirement seems very odd, the newer hub I believe supports thread so maybe these are not zigbee devices but thread devices.

Could be! I don't know much about threads but on the IKEA page it says

All three smart sensors are based on the Zigbee software.

I don't know what to believe!
