Presently no, at least until tuya add thread/matter support (probably another year or so)

For the 20a
Use any aqara switch + contactor -> ac/water heater

Like Max does

Pardon me ya.. do you guys have a wiring diagram and also a photo of the contactor that you (and Max) mentioned? Im curious to see how it works and looks like. Thanks

FP2 seems interesting. Saw lots of reddit threads on this. Pity its wired to a wall socket. I’m considering to get a mmwave sensor much like the FP1 and FP2, but from tuya, cos i saw one thats ceiling mountable, would look much neater, like a downlight. Not sure on the performance of it though. Pretty affordable at around RM160-ish without shipping.

Using the no neutral hack posted earlier, i'm able to tap into existing live/neutral cable for the light bulbs to power those devices that require cable.
This way, I can hide those devices in the ceiling.
Still doubtful to use mmwave sensors in rooms with fans though, unless you cover it with some aluminium foil

Should be similar to how this guy installed the contactor for his smart switch, just that you hide in the ceiling or somewhere else

Thanks for the reply! Never thought of using a contactor at a residential environment, mostly related that to industrial. But good to keep this in mind. However it's kina cheaper to just go for a zigbee boiler 20/30a double pole if you add up the cost and also no hassle on concealing the contactor. Thanks !

True, fans would be an issue , since these mmwave sensors can supposedly even detect breathing

Remove binding and binding again. Make sure you don't block hub M2 for the connection. For first time it will take long time for binding process.

Hi guys. Any idea how to link the cassette aircond into Home Assistant and HomeKit? My cassette aircond is Acson brand, and non Wi-Fi version. If use those IR control, it will send signal to turn on and off aircond, but can’t know the status.

Connect esp ir remote to the ir receiver of your ac.
Flash tasmota-ir firmware on it, install tasmota-irhvac hacs on ha
The status gets updated even when the physical remote is used instead

I tried esphome, but it didn’t detect my mitsubishi ac so i switched to tasmota

So this rgb wall switch is quite interesting
Something xzibit would be proud
“Yo dawg we heard you like rgbs and smart switch so we put rgbs IN your switch”

I can see my son having fun with this
Even got haptic feedback & speaker also

Gonna wait to see how devs gonna configure it for custom firmware

I'm using Paradox alarm at home, subscribed to their Insite Gold... however what ticks me is, the response is so so so slow... Been trying to find, is there a way to integrate it for local control? Via HomeKit perhaps.

Don’t see how it’s complicated much
You just hook up the 5V, gnd & data pin of the ir receiver from the ac’s pcb to the esp. That’s it really

user posted image

Otherwise you just place the esp ir remote right next to the ac so it detects remote when pointed to it.

Quick question.. I’m planning to not buy the Zigbee smart wall embedded sockets for fear that my box may be too congested or any fitment issues. Therefore looking at getting those zigbee smart wall plugs instead.

Question: Are all Tuya branded zigbee wall plugs zigbee extenders? I.e. they extend the mesh network of the zigbee network?

If it's powered (not battery) then it's zigbee repeaters (bulbs, plugs etc)

So basically if it has live & neutral right ?

Cos my non neutral light switches aren't repeaters

Ok I'll snag a couple of them to improve the mesh network to my further switches which keep dropping off

Your non neutral light switches got neutral input?
You can use the no neutral hack i posted a few pages back and they can act repeaters
Tested on my zigbee switches
