I have one wiring for the porch lamp pre-installed by the developer.I planned to install 2 porch lamp by tapping to the pre-installed wiring.The problem is i want to control the ON/OFF of the lamp individually and the porch ceiling is made of concrete.The wiring guy said hard to pull wire for the switch for another lamp as it was concrete.So i planned to install wireless switch to control the lamp.What are the options to make this feature?

Use tap to run in the tuya app, and it will show up in scenes (assuming you already setup tuya integration)

Can you open up your remote? Curious the chip inside
Bought a few ir remote and they all got cbu chip (had to swap with esp for tasmota)

Get smart light for both porch lights
Turn on the main switch, cover with wireless scene switch to toggle the lights individually

Basically you keep the switch permanently on, put a cover on the main switch and add wireless scene switch on top of it.
Just so no one else mess with it

Another way is using decoupled/detached mode on aqara e1/h1

I’ve already done similar thing for my wall switch & wifi bulbs.
Slightly advanced trick, but no need to lock the switch or anything
What’s great is just relies on wifi, if your smart hub down (it does happen), it still works as normal



Do you plan to get downlights or just bubs

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.
*
All my wall-embedded sockets and switches use this spacer to overcome depth issue. I use 20mm thickness.
Check out Smart Switch Wall Spacer Reinforced Version Sonoff Ewelink Tuya Smart Life. Get it on Shopee now! https://shp.ee/z6f6yby.

If it's tuya/smartlife then it's confirmed
Also, don't get wifi locks, get the ones using bt/zigbee, you can remotely unlock with ease.
The wifi version needs physical input keypad (someone has to press the key first) that sends an unlock request to the app, then you approve the unlock request.

You can check Eva M5 by Avenir Lab

https://www.evasmart.co/m5/

Or Trident Arthur+ by Eagle Secure Tech

https://digitallock.com.my/product/trident-arthur-plus/

Both support Tuya. If your budget permits, Eagle Secure Tech also have Lenovo branded smart locks which look nicer and support Tuya as well

https://digitallock.com.my/

Best to visit the physical shop to have a look and consult the salesperson first
