This is the version that use battery. It only sent zigbee signal using its battery to hub. You cannot remotely control the switch. SO, you can stick the switch anywhere you like

Actually last time I m eyeing this remote. That time the price is almost RM1k.  sweat.gif

Than friend lend his old logitech universal remote for me to try. (Got flip cover).

Pain in the ass to use. Than I forget about this harmony universal remote liau.

Any experience about this remote ?
*
Last time many universal remote but now probably just one manufacturer laugh.gif

Yes. I was eyeing one to replace faulty one universal programmable remote. They are expensive for what they do. Wait and wait until today and less and less player in market. Now I get used to press 3 remote to switch on my TV laugh.gif

ooo.. BTW, I think there are IR dongle that when you plug into audio jack can become IR blaster. Maybe can buy cheap phone and use it smile.gif

Ya, same as you.

A RM1k remote is just hard to buy it. So wait see, wait see, than don't no how many yrs already gone.  biggrin.gif

1 thing that I don't like universal remote is, too many button.  rclxub.gif All crush infront the remote.

Prefer something like idoblu Sony universal remote. Where only necessary button will be display out. The whole front remote is LCD.
*
That Sony still around. I remember seeing it but I think no more. The touch screen is better because only show related button

Don't do too many automation la. My brain handicap liau.  sweat.gif

Imagine if you automation your whole house light to be ON/OFF itself, you become use to it.

Than when you stay out at hotel/friend house etc, you won't go and switch the light.

Than people think it is your bad habit. biggrin.gif

Yes. Depends too much on automation then when anything happens your brain become overloaded and don't know what to do laugh.gif

You got hold because of tax or require Sirim approval ?

Normal courier or dhl, fedex etc ?
*
Basically on personal import, it is random. Sometimes you get through and sometimes they tax you. SIRIM normally for those devices that require import permit (AP) which normally the device using radio frequency. If the brand is known one, normally no problem because it is assumed already approved by authorized dealer. For China brand one, depends on luck and how the description in invoice.

Not sure is it random. If over RM500, will subject to tax and place in what category tariff % tax.

But sometime is not tax but GST.

Last week a box of battery from US kena GST. Pay Rm70.38 direct to the fedex who deliver to my doorstep.

A box, big quantity of same item they will consider as business. All big courier company has big amount of deposit. That's why customs release the item and let courier collect on behalf.

Yes it is still whether they believe your story or not. That is why business fake the price. They can set up an office offshore and import goods from their offshore office. Create lower invoice price and pay less tax rolleyes.gif
