I know many said Aqara generally is better quality than Tuya

But I recently bought these Tuya switches by Moes and I actually prefer the pressing feel compared to Aqara D1

I have been using the Aqara D1 switches for more than two years now. The quality is good, have never given me any issues. The only improvement that I wished is that I hoped that more smart appliances can be supported in their Aqara app, but of course we have the option of using the mihome app.

However in terms of the app usability I still prefer the Aqara app.

Issue with mihone is the automations run on the cloud, will be slower response and automations won't work if internet down

Aqara M2 hub now support Matter, so will be soon can have more devices interconnect with each other

can my current aqara m2 hub directly upgrade to support matter? or a new aqara m2 will do?

Wait... Aqara is running local?

I have both the Aqara app and HomeKit... I usually control via HomeKit, but when I control via Aqara app... it lags (seems like via cloud).

Are you using Aqara or perhaps using HomeKit? If using HomeKit, then I’m using Athom which I ordered from AliExpress. It’s a relay type, connect to the board and I tap power from the 12v battery. So far using a few weeks very reliable. Now I don’t need to bring remote out 😆 (only when power failure I guess or when internet is down 🤣).

It doesn't links with aqara tho, but I don't think I want my auto gate opening by itself via automation, it's for security after all.

This ia smart switch is 2 gang so you have 2 options. Inside your dcmoto motherboard you can usually have option to open both or open right or open left, so you can choose 2 options with 2 gangs, can refer to the user manual. Each option will have a positive and negative terminal. So you have a pair of live and neutral wire one side connect to the switch under normally open and another side is connect to the motherboard. So when it's normally open, the positive and negative not connected, when you press your app, it will close meaning positive and negative will connect and your auto gate will open, you can trial and test it won't spoil, remember to select inching mode in the app for each switch to 2 sec meaning after press 2 sec later will off the switch. The input you connect to the battery, so battery input to your motherboard and also splits to this switch. When house no power, you can still open your gate coz this switch support Bluetooth also. All my tuya switches can be controlled via Bluetooth so when thunder house trip, you no worry.

Anyways you can find something similar as long it's a switch for 2 gangs, if 1 gang then you can only control 1 function meaning open both side doors instead of 1 option open both, 1 option open right/left side. Mine I got from my auto gate installer, he teach me how to install coz that time my house no wifi yet, so he teach me instead. You can get from other brands also la but make sure the output have neutral and have normally open terminal

Thanks for your help dest!

That’s great and wondering whether it must be controlled through the apps or it must be connected to tuya hub ya?

It seemed great since no need to worry about no electricity 🤣🤣

No need hub, it's using wifi, just use tuya smart app

Is the link you attached is from the seller you bought as well? Worried I don’t know how to pasang hahaha

Thanks for your help celciuz..

I’m using HomeKit and currently have Aqara hub m2, aqara sensors, switches and yeelight strip&hub.

Hahaha seemed like need to put a spare in car glovebox just in case..

Do you have a link to the store that you bought?
