I mean you can take the Neutral from the aircond switch. My home all room got aircond switch beside light.. Bathroom got water heater switch.. Only living and kitchen got light only..

Another option is to use sonoff module installed near the light. Got RF and WiFi type. This way no modification needed. The switch on the wall is normal switch but need to switch on all the time. The module on the ceiling will act like a remote switch

Install something like this on ceiling

Ahhh....is it safe to tap that way?

Yeah i've consider this as well, hiding this module inside the plaster ceiling. Not sure Wifi has any problem reaching it if inside plaster ceiling. Plus if module broken, need to find a way to replace it without breaking the plaster ceiling

anyone try Livolo brand ?

Bro, you've tried the philips smart led bulb? How's the brightness?

Pretty much same price in taobao, should be ok

thanks bro, i can't read chinese that's why i can't buy from taobao.....

I just use google translate bro
Better get from shoppe anyway since got free shipping

Plaster ceiling will not block signal but no access. Can just camouflage it in decoration or if you have down light, can place it somewhere near

Yeah i'll probably try it on those L-Box plaster ceiling with all the T8's and see how efficient it is.

can explain more... don't know how to differentiate, ...

IP can control using internet or phone directly. RF can directly controlled by its dedicated remote only. Else you have to get other device to interface between the normal RF (433 MHz normally) and WiFi (additional cost and less flexibility)

God thing about RF is that it cannot be hacked remotely over Internet

Besides off/on using APP can you set timer? say i wanna ON at 7pm till 6am?

Semua boleh....

Thanks bro! like that i can use it at the foyer and set it to on at night...now have to look for a nice looking E27 socket :-)

Guys, any of the power consumption monitor device that you would recommend?
Prefer socket type, like Sonoff S31, but UK plug, would like to monitor refrigerator power consumption.

You just google socket power meter and you find many to choose from as low as around RM20
