Apollo Automation vs Competitors: The Honest Comparison

At slimhuisje.nl, we believe in transparency. Here's how Apollo sensors compare to alternatives like the Aqara FP2 and Sensy-One:

Apollo MSR-2 vs Aqara FP2

Aspect	Apollo MSR-2	Aqara FP2
Home Assistant integration	✅ Officially certified, ESPHome native	⚠️ Via HomeKit, more complex setup
Privacy & local control	✅ 100% local, no cloud required	⚠️ Aqara app and cloud required for setup
Configuration flexibility	✅ Fully customizable via ESPHome	❌ Limited to Aqara app settings
Price-quality	✅ Excellent, lots of features for the price	⚠️ More expensive, less flexible

Apollo Automation vs Sensy-One

Aspect	Apollo Automation	Sensy-One
ESPHome & Home Assistant integration	✅ Native integration, officially 'Works with Home Assistant' certified	✅ Native integration, no official certification
Modularity & extensibility	✅ Modular design: can be expanded later with, among other things, a CO₂ sensor	❌ Non-modular, fixed functionality per model
Firmware & updates	✅ Regular updates, long-term support	⚠️ Updates dependent on community, less predictable
Certification	✅ Officially certified by Home Assistant	❌ No official certification
Target audience	Specifically for Home Assistant/ESPHome community, with a focus on privacy and flexibility	Also focused on Home Assistant/ESPHome, but less community-driven and less flexible in extensions
