btw ur Paradox using network interface or serial?
mine old model, need serial.
im thinking using Pi GPIO for it, not sure how yet.

wow sonoff finally upgraded the tx series switch.
the sonoff tx ultimate 👍🏻... it come with esp32 chip ❤️



not gonna lie, the ring light too barbie for me 😩

haiz few of my units have wifi issue...
lost contact with my AP(s), one of it even located next to the router.

im wondering will esphome or or this new esp32 able solve my problem...

I'm using tasmota old version... last year Oct last update 🙃

few units need to flash manually, coz totally lost contact.
am lazy to unmount it

ya lost contact with wifi...
and luckily i use 433mHz remote more, more convenient

actually i really like tasmota, but cant solve the wifi issue make me wanna try esphome

as for lost contact, it wont be able to reconnect even i were to restart the main power supply.

esphome config is baked into the firmware rite

BTW what settings u normally set for ur switches.

I did timer (plusetime) for all Washroom light n exhaust fan.

scheduled sunrise n sunset time for outdoor.

as for bedrooms ceilings fan, I planned to add temperatures sensors to speed up or down the speed... but since I use air-conditioning more, I didn't implement it yet

i knew we can use dimmer switch...
but how u change color?

beware, some ppl like cold sleep and others prefer hot sleep 😅

u r using tri color light?
i tot u were using rgb light strip

smarthome apps are very brand dependent.
pls research which one u going to use for long time before u commit.
... not applicable unless u going to host your one server

fyi xiaomi n tuya have complete catalogs of IoT

3phase electric will trip the rccb if the neutral not balance

i know coz saw it and scared it will fried my switch

I filtered out these 3 selections for my auto-gate

1. https://shopee.com.my/eWeLink-DC-2-Channel-...7179.3160607519

Pro: easiest
Cons: unknown chips and not sure can flash custom firmware.
RM60

2. https://shopee.com.my/ESP32-SX1276-LoRa-WIF...646.14480142838

Pro: better chips, can flash firmware
Cons: expensive, need to dyi soldering for connectivity, no case, alot of efforts needed
RM140

3. Buy all parts and assemble myself, esp32+RF433MHz receiver
Pro: cheapest and no sure what different compared to (2)
Cons: same as (2) + nightmare awaiting
RM50


Getting (1) choice is very tempting, but I want to hear your review.

do u know which chip it is using?
can u flash firmware on it?
how is the wifi connectivity, stable?

i hv experience esp8266 chip, the wifi always disconnected.
that y i put esp32 as secondary option.

thank you for the feedback.
8266 still got chance to flash 👍🏻

how about the LoRa chip, can we use the normal 433MHz remote for it? i dont intent for LoRa feature... trigger it 15KM away.
Just normal 10 to 20m will do

i been clouded by iot devices using esp chips.
and forget there were pi out there.

recently i found a better alternative, the Orange Pi.
Half the price, double the performance.

if compared to esp, at least 10x performance.

not yet...
so far I m interested in this

Orange Pi 5 Plus, got 6TOPs compared to CoralTPU running at 4TOPs.
too bad Frigate not supported yet.
but YouTube got ppl show good performance using YOLOv5

Orange PI Zero 2W, planned to use it for autogate & alarm integration
but it don't have BIG little features, and it will b overkill performance for only simple task.
