First the one without neutral are more expensive. Second they are limited in choice especially if you want good looking one.

BTW I asked my electrician to do a full check on the new house and for my house it is doable to have those with N but I have to relocate the light connection to be the same as the Aircond switch which I will pull the N.

Anyway I will search for those without N rather than moving the wires in my DB boxes. But it is definitely doable for my house. For others it be better you consult your electrician if you want to put on those with N.

I have not tested Xiaomi smart speaker so I wouldn't know how similar it is. What do you mean by "Alexa" option?

One solution I read here is to use an RF switch to control the other switch. Down the thread somewhere  shocking.gif

Why not just use 2 way wifi smart switches instead of complicating the matters?

Hey, currently renovating my house. I am considering installing smart switches. Any recommendations? My household mostly use apple, so home kit is a plus if not I think google home is ok.

Smart switch need to install neutral wire or not?
*
If can better pull neutral, without tends to give more issues later on.

Any idea which gas detector can be used for our kitchen gas tank? I found one can support CO/CH4 but I don't think CH4 is correct. CO not much use for us here in Malaysia.

Thanks for the detailed summary, I started with Xiaomi and mijia 2018/2019, and lucky me it is aqara based. Will invest in a homekit cos china server really laggy sometimes for mijia hub. Bought google mini cos black Friday, will reach my yellow porter by Christmas smile.gif

You did not consider using BuyAndShip? Seems cheaper & faster and no need pay US duty. Only worried MY will need Sirim+Tax.

Boss, it’s possible that your iPhone is set to using 5Ghz. Remember your Sonoff is using 2.4Ghz
Set your phone’s wifi to connect to 2.4ghz and try again.
*
2.4GHz only for setting up, once done using 5GHz is ok because same Lan segment.

Yes. It is in 2.4ghz. Cause most of the sonoff is 2.4ghz.

But I have 1 sonoff is 5Ghz. Toaster.

yes, once connected to 2.4GHz, it will work even when your phone is 5GHz but when using LAN mode, it must be the exact same SSID as the Sonoff during initial setup which is 2.4GHz
take a look at this screenshot

When my phone is connected to 5GHz, it cannot connect to Sonoff's LAN mode

Once I switch to 2.4GHz, the LAN symbol will appear (red box)

But you still cant On/Off at the above page but need to select the individual Sonoff (see next screenshot)
Only at this page you can On/Off your Sonoff

All Sonoff are 2.4Ghz. Dont think there are any using 5Ghz. Anyway I am talking about your smartphone wifi connection. It must be the same SSID as your Sonoff during initial setup in order to work in LAN mode
Maybe mine is different I dunno, but this is what Im seeing on my end  blush.gif  tongue.gif

Then I think Geeklink is better, it can connect as LAN as long as same gateway, can also control direct from the dashboard as normal.
