Guys,

What would be the cheapest hub for z wave? My Samsung lock which I've been using for awhile happens to be zw compatible, if the hub is not too exp, thought I'd give it a try.

Thanks
*
z-wave compatibility is important, make sure your device and hub using same frequency, and the hub or software supports your z-wave device, not all z-wave device can simply pair with any z-wave hub.

since it is samsung lock, I will recommend you use samsung smartthing hub v3, before making purchase, ensure your lock is compatible with smartthings

How do I check for compatibility? Looking at the price in shoppee, its around rm600+, not exactly cheap. Thanks
*
You need to know your samsung lock specification, what frequency it used and what model, then check smartthings hardware compatibility to make sure there is device handler supports the lock.

Got both battery or power but battery for big lock cannot last that long but if no battery  sad.gif

I think padlock type like use finger print is more viable. This can last very long
*
Battery powered lock can last at least 6 months, if door is not frequently opened, it will last 1 year or more.

I have samsung fingerprint door lock, the battery can last 18 months. it is 4 x AA battery.

That long? I guess if the lock is smooth, but after some time the the door bolt can experience some resistance due to sagging. Thus this may use more power and shortened the battery life, I think.

Been considering Samsung also but not sure it is just remove and replace on my current door lock.  biggrin.gif

How long have you been using the Samsung? Read about problem in its touch sensitivity degradation.
*
I have been using it for around 3 years, fingerprint is not really sensitive, and can't use at all when finger is wet! Nowadays I mostly use passcode to open because I need to wash my hands before opening door.
I'm thinking to change it to Aqara N200 and it supports homekit and can be integrated to smart home.

*

Hi, want to ask if anyone bought digital door lock from taobao or bought directly from Korea? I see the branded ones like gateman and Samsung on shopee all very expensive. In physical shops even more expensive. So am thinking to buy directly from taobao or Korea.

Anyone got experience can share? Eg: what to look out for if buy from overseas etc
*
You can get it from ebay if it is Korea products, or get it from Taobao if it is China products

Both ebay and Taobao are reliable platform, they will refund to you if product failed to deliver or send a wrong products

The only thing you need to worry is warranty only.

hello, have you try automation from mihome app before? If yes could you share the delay different?

Currently i using aqara hub connect to china mainland, i have one automation to switch off 5 x D1 3 gang and 4 x 2 gang, off air purifier those..  i use a wireless switch to trigger this automation. Usually when i press the wireless switch it would need like 3-5 seconds before the automation start and required 30 seconds- 1 min for the whole automation to complete.
[attachmentid=10565909]

i wondering am i setting the automation wrongly causing the delay, or it was meant to be for home->mi server->home.

Not sure if you have something similar running with rpi with hassio, if yes could you share the time delay?
*
Don't set to China region unless device is not supported. China region has slowest response if you are not in China.

Hassio is local connected, response time is almost immediately, usually less than 1 second.

no choice.. i got plenty of devices only available on china region.

wow < 1 second is really nice.. 1 second to trigger the automation or the whole process?

actually i been looking hassio documentation, i do have quite numbers of devices that doesnt not support by hassio which is why i still stuck with mihome.
1) aqara gateway
2) loock smart lock (bt)
*
1 second turn off all lights biggrin.gif

Hassio support aqara gateway through homekit controller, I'm using it now

aqara hub is just for aqara switches, sensor, curtain any aqara zigbee devices. Aqara hub is homekit compatible, so you can see your smart devices in ios home app and control them.

Apple hub is like homepod, ipad or apple tv.

Yes you can pull neutral from AC and same neutral line can be loop to 2 x 3 gang assuming you on single phase.
*
One thing to take note, if you use iPad as homekit hub, iPad must be 24 x 7 always powered by charger, or the automation will not work.

Theoretical limits is 255 I guess since you have up to 255  biggrin.gif  One for host which is 255.

Well, many would say 250 wirelessly since 4 will go to 4 LAN ports.
*
I believe you are talking about IP address range /24, this is nothing to do with wifi router, if I assign /16, I can have 65534 hosts.

the limits of the wifi router is depending on its cpu, memory, most cheap home wifi router won't be able to run 255 devices reliably

not really, a single VLAN can be many different type of netmask, you can assign /24, /23, /22, and all within the same network.

Guys, does anyone have smart curtains and manage to integrate them into homeassistant?

I wanted to get the aqara zigbee version. I wonder if it can connect to conbee 2 straight. I couldnt find more about it googling.
*
I don't have smart curtain, but I got RF remote control curtain motor, and it is managed by broadlink, hence, alexa, google and home assistant are able to open/close curtain

Get the dooya curtain motor, i think aqara curtain motor also is OEM dooya one, looks almost the same.

Actually dooya motors are more expensive than aqara/xiaomi/etc. It’s a shame they don’t have a newer model without integration with smart hubs. If I’m going for the RF route the integration is lebih.

I missed the boat yesterday so I’m not gonna rush the purchase.
*
You can get Dooya sunflower motor, I got it around RM250 only.

For aqara I know it doesn't support switches, only some sensors if I am not mistaken. But there are ways to get them all working (home assistant) but that is not a noob friendly.
*
Aqara supports Alexa and google for switches and lights as long as the region is not set in mainland china.

I have been using Alexa to control aqara switches for two years.

ah, thanks..
but if my aqara is from china, can i still set the region to other places?
and how about sensor? does google support aqara sensor as well?
*
Not sure, if you can add the aqara hub that is supposed to be sold in China to other region, that it will work with Alexa.

so far only lights, switch and camera can be controlled by Alexa

Homekit is local so no its not slow. But you will still have to pair to some server to get it into your app first and paired with the hub and then you import it to HomeKit.

I was using Aqara to. HomeKit directly but now its Aqara to Home Assistant then to HomeKit.
*
The problem is not all aqara device can expose to homekit, just like my xiaomi light sensor can only be managed by Aqara G2H camera, but in homekit, I'm not able to see the light sensor at all.

Around 3-4 meter. But go through wall.

Worry the RF not strong. Seeing the sw using 2pcs CR2030 cell.  sweat.gif

My broadlink RMPro RF remote on ground floor is able to remote control my curtain on first floor which is around 8 meter away
