Nice and cheap for this. They do require the Xiaomi Multi-Function Gateway to be used, so can't be used alone. No codes or anything, just add to basket and check out
They're actaully much smaller than I think they look in the main image, so I added another below, to give you an idea.


Description:
The Xiaomi smart door window sensor can detect the opening and closing of the door and window,then send a notification to your phone via the APP. Matching with other Xiaomi smart devices such as gateway remote control, smart bulb, air cleaner, etc. this sensor could help you create a smart control home.
Features:
* Portable, small size, easy to install
* Open your door and the lights automatically turn on.
* If there is an intruder, the alarm will immediately sound and video will be recorded.
* Automatically shutting off the air conditioner when a window opened. Air purifier automatic stand by.
* Low energy consumption techniques, button batteries for long use powering.
Specification:
Note:
1.Item color may show slight aberration due to different shooting light and monitor display.
2.Product size, product weight, and related specifications are theoretical values only. Actual measurements between individual products may vary.
3.The battery using time is different due to the different using situation.

Also, will the sensor be able to be recognised by Alexa to trigger routines?
Hi...do you have a link for that please? If it's wifi I assume it works witrh Alexa,Google etc with no hub as you mention
I'm using them with zigbee2mqtt in Home Assistant with no issues or extra effort other than normal pairing so would imagine SmartThings have them working without issue.
Search for 'neo wifi door'... not alexa... works on phone app
Some reports of setting up being hard but found it ok..
Go to community.smartthings.com and search for xiaomi device handlers. It will not work without them.
Personally I'm beware of Wifi IoT devices, since you'll need quite a bit of them for different purposes and to cover the whole home.
And with lots of devices connected a router may struggle.
My router has loads tapping off it... wired an wireless... no issue
Routers can handle hundreds of devices (or at least a half decent one can), so this shouldn't be an issue
I use them with Samsung Smartthings, just set up the correct device handler as mentioned above.
I have them working with my smartthings hub quite happily. Thing to note is that they are cloud not locally handled.

That says works with both Echo and Google Home. Be good if works with IFTTT so you can get notifications or trigger other actions.
Edit to answer my own question
I'd be more concerned with the security aspects. Lots of unpatched IoT backdoors on your WiFi...
I do the same using a raspberry pi
Thanks for that info.
I too have done this using a raspberry pi (+ USB zigbee sniffer). It's a really good home tech. project - soon to include the Mijia Door sensor as posted here
Agree, but this is also could be resolved by isolated VLANs, a complication though
