Very happy with the news! I have about 40-45 zigbee devices in the home - 20ish bulbs and switches connected to the Hue gateway (soon to be abandoned thanks to Philips' new account requirements.... screw them, but that's another story), the rest mostly sensors connected to my zigbee2mqtt/Homeassistant setup.
I am very happy with the Aqara devices but they're relatively expensive. The sonoff stuff is garbage (sometimes needs re-association with the controller for no clear reason, and always when I replace the batteries.. which is often), the IKEA stuff (switches and motion sensors mostly) has by far the best price/performance ratio and is quite reliable, but the battery life is quite disappointing on all of them.
The new motion sensor having 3 AAA batteries (rather than 2xCR2032) should ensure a rather less disappointing battery life!
