Does anyone have any recommendations on a sensor I can put on a pantry door which will notify me every time it is opened?

I don't want to spend a ton, and I would prefer not having to use some sort of a hub (Smart things, etc.).

I was hoping there was some sort of a door sensor that just connects to WiFi and then notifies via app?

Anything you can recommend?

I don't know of any specific products for that specific task. But you could set up a Raspberry PI to do that fairly easily. There are probably already a bunch of things already written for stuff like that on their website.

Sounds perfect, I'll check it out. Thanks!

Reviews for the Eve Door Sensor are saying that it can't be used as a HomeKit trigger, such as automatically turning on the lights when you unlock your door. I'm hoping there is a solution for that soon.
