I just use the aqara smart lock for my indoor door lock. Had to change the batteries after 3 years of usage. Pretty good IMO. Didn't give me any issue so far.

Anyone using this plug for your ac power monitoring? Working fine so far?

I’m still deciding whether to the get the plug or use relay with power monitoring + contactor solution

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?

which model?

How haywire does it get?

Not connected to my Wi-Fi, not sure if it isn't working... or Wi-Fi coverage issue. But I have a node that's nearby less than 30 ft away.

Mine was the older model Aqara N100.

anybody here using Xiaomi Mijia smart curtain motor?

nowadays which is latest one?

U200, U100, U50

Ok just bought T2 cause cannot tahan already my board ain't working ha ha ha. But I think this round I will fix that behind the wireless gate switch which is inside my house. Zigbee shall work much better this way I guess.

using different one and touch wood working fine for few months

Wife doesn’t like the touch version and the only push button type i found is aqara 20a and too expensive

I waited for the aqara voucher plus shopee coin.. so got it around rm140 for the 20a switch..

My previous auto gate relay...

12V battery --> 12v to 5v USB device --> Athom relay board. The 12v to 5v USB adaptor melted...

Using Aqara T2 now, the inching feature is bugged at the moment. When enable inching, the switch remains turned on... doesn't turn off. So I had to do automation manually to turn it off using homekit.

few month ago, i bought few of this.
to stepdown the 12v to 5v

im not sure if i needed to stepdown the inching "power" for the esp32 gpio or not,actually planned to connect this to the radio module.
havent got time to do research

Relay went offline finally due to live wire is broken from the 12VDC to USB5V component.


Using this for about 1.5 years, about 3 months ago I did open up as that time already started getting wonky the board but I was suspecting Wi-Fi all the time.


Aqara T2 (RM200) from local shop, compared to the board I used previously this is much pricier. Advantage is now I could place this inside my house instead even with Zigbee has good coverage now.


Stored behind the wireless keypad.

There are inching ones with 12V input also right? Either way you could have also tap the live wire from before the transformer to your auto gate box, put another transformer to 12V and then power a 12V device that way, i use that to power Shelly and also a camera at my gate. Before that i was tapping through the battery as well.

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

The relay board I had, DC in didn't work not sure why. Only the USB5V worked so I used that.

But that's the past lor, now the T2 direct take AC in and works fine.
