How to make a low power wireless button? ZigBee, Bluetooth?

The task is to transfer a logical unit between two devices. There is some automation at home, in the role of the brain - Arduino. It receives signals, sends SMS alerts. Now I have done it on ESP over WiFi. For example, leakage sensors, motion sensors (for protection). But already tired of these wires. I would like a battery-powered solution, and so as not to change them every month.
For example, there is a simple PIR module that works from one AA battery for up to three months, I want to attach a certain device to it, which would send information about the PIR operation to the arduino. That is, the transmission of a logical signal. Of course, you can assemble it on cheap Chinese transceivers, but they are all buggy, and besides, there is no guarantee that the neighbor will have the same module that works exactly the same way, it happened to me, the neighbor turned off his chandelier with a wireless remote control and extinguished my outlet.
In general, the requirements (in order of importance):
1. Low power consumption
2. Ease of programming/configuration
3. Network security
4. Price
The range is approximately 20-30 meters indoors. One way data transfer. Accordingly, a receiver and a transmitter are needed, it is good if one receiver supports several transmitters.
Does anyone know who did something like this?

I assembled a beacon on NRF24 + arduino pro mini, which worked from Lipo ~ 150mah (with a ping interval of 1s, it lived for a month on 1 charge), and I did not optimize power consumption much - I connected the module and used sleep, well, I threw it away led for power (it was possible to turn off the NRF-ku with a transistor during periods of inactivity - it would have been even better).
But as I understand it, they have different hardware revisions - be very careful (at the beginning of day 4 I spent on understanding this fact) - they work with slightly different libraries (I had modules from different stores slightly different in design) .
