I'm back here regarding autogate relay switch, I have to admit I'm being spoilt by the convenience of not needing to hold the remote control and also remotely open the gate when delivery comes. On and off the modules goes haywire, but may return later on which is weird.

Currently using this board from Athom (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002637950603.html) which supports HomeKit.

My system consists mostly Aqara, so I'm considering to make the jump to Aqara T2 (only T2 able to do the relay for autogate right?). Or is there a more robust chip which I could make use of MQTT or homebridge to integrate instead?

using different one and touch wood working fine for few months

I'm using Sonoff ewelink brand, but the reading UI is just basic.
You can't put in RM inside or cut offs date / time.

Not sure about home smart apps that can link with ewelink if have more options for electricity monitor

Why not you buy one for trial

any special features u planned to configure?

Check out this project, which uses the ESP-01M module, which can be purchased for around RM20. It can transmit and receive AC signals directly from the AC's board, such as ambient temperature, cooling temperature, operation mode, speed, etc.

I’m thinking if I want to use smart switch for the Aircon switch.
Aqara only has 20A switch which should be able support up to my 2.5hp AC, I have a 3.0hp AC that requires 32A switch.

I think is not necessary to have smart switch for AC, but good to have.

Can anyone recommend me budget smart downlights (with RGB).

I wonder what it looks like in the HA. I have flashed the binary files into the ESP8266 without hardwiring it to the AC. From the MQTT explorer, I can see the connection but the HA cannot discovered it automatically. Maybe I need to buy the connector and plug it into the CN_WIR port.

If anyone is interested in the above project, ensure your Daikin AC is of the "Smart Control" type or supports WIFI.

Here's how to check it:
1. Open AC front led
2. Check the wiring diagram at the side
3. Observe any port labelled as CN_WIR


Without the CN_WIR port, you can drop the above project and explore other method such as capture and playback the remote control IR signal.
To flash ESP8266, download the bin files from Faikin site and search the binary file using the build-in search function.
Download the ESP8266 flasher app from here if you are not familier with Python apps.

Here the settings that I used, ensure the correct COM port is used.







Once successfully flash, reboot the ESP8266 and try to connect the ESP8266 WIFI AP using your PC/Laptop.  Run IPconfig from your Windows command prompt, copy and paste the Default Gateway IP to your browser and enter your desire MQTT Broker IP address, User name and Password.

Next steps will be soldering the jack wire to ESP8266 and plug into CN_WIR port.
Perhaps I rephase your questions also to extend other possible options

Option 1: Wall Power Socket + LAN cable
Option 2: LAN cable only
Option 3: Wall Power Socket only.

Option 1: My preferred option as I will not be limited to CCTV with POE type only, but I can use any other brand that may not support POE.  I can extend the usage of the wall power socket for other purpose such as motion sensor, smart plug controlling the hanging LED light for all sort of festival etc.

Option 2: Limited to POE CCTV or any gadget supporting POE.

Option 3: Many CCTV now support WIFI connection such as 2.4GHz or 5GHz. If you plan to save the video stream into DVR, then ensure you have good mesh network.

could you share the diagram like how you share it for Daikin? Would like to try it on my ME.

Thank you.

Thank you Sir !

is this hardware from shopee ok?

Thanks again !

Where do you recommend to hide ?

Is this the ones ?

at gpio connection do we need to add resistor to protect the chip?

I bought 2 to try it out. It able to connect via zigbee2mqtt but did not expose any parameters to test out automations.
I reckon the AI learning requires FP1E to pair with M3 hub so it might not able to distinguish ceiling fan air movement and human movement via zigbee2mqtt.

To date I tested with Sonoff SNZB-06P and Screek 2A but both still can't differentiate between ceiling fan air movement and human movement.
Was hoping FP1E able to solve this but I'm not getting my hopes up 

Sorry mine was Screek F2, not 2A but context still the same.



Mine still shows nothing tho. I forcefully removed it and re-pair and it still shows pic above.

Will be great if you pair the device then it shows the parameters like any other zigbee devices I had thus far.

Would really like to give U200 a try as well but currently bit too expensive IMO for this lockset.

Hey there everyone

Been a while since i posted. I just installed the Zemismart Matter over Thread Roller Shade Rechargeable Motor. Installation was pretty straightforward. I took off my old blinds. Took off the bit that had the pull chain and then slotted the motor in. Re-used the old brackets and remounted the blinds onto my wall.
I got the Zemismart blinds  with a 6 button remote, and pairing was pretty easy. I only had to press the button on the motor once, to pair to the remote. Other settings were done via the remote, even pairing with Homekit via the matter QR.

The motor has 3 speed settings. And since my blinds are pretty wide, the speed at its highest was just ok at best. But manageable.
All in all, i’m pretty happy with the Zemismart blinds.

Note: I only paired them to Homekit, via my Homepod mini as the thread border router. I find that if i pair them to the Zemismart M1 Hub, which i also have, any time i reboot the internet or M1, the thread devices will be offline in the M1, and i have to re-pair them again. Doenst happen when they are paired directly into Homekit.

Have you tried out either ESPresense or Format BLE Tracker? Both use ESP32 to detect the presence of your Bluetooth devices, such as a smart watch, smartphone, etc., in the vicinity before signalling their detection location.

For example, embed the location name of ESPresense 1 as Hall 1, and embed the location name of ESPresense 2 as Kitchen; when your smartphone presenses in a location covered by ESPresense 1 (Hall 1), your HA will mark your smartphone in Hall 1, similar to if your phone moved from Hall 1 or an unknown location to Kitchen, your HA will show your phone in Kitchen.
Using the HA's automation to trigger a series of events like turning on the light, the fan, etc.
 

I just got my new Xiaomi Router AX3000T with the intention to flash it to OpenWRT. 

Anyone interested in upgrading their existing ISP's WiFi router can consider this product given factory preloaded Unify and Maxis profiles, and you just need to key in your account ID and password. 


You can monitor the router from the Xiaomi app. 

Can setup Mesh network easily using similar Xiaomi Mesh Wi-Fi Router. 

It cost less than RM140 after discount (from occasionally/monthly Shopee discount).

Remember to buy the Malaysia version (Global version) and not the Chinese version.
