Extra 1 neutral cable… and other than that is similar.
*
can discount more...
adding neutral cable is cheap, coz most of the ppl simply tapped it from aircon's switch or water heater.

the headache part is 2ways switch, which is not available.
i have to sync the switch status for it to work.

if not mistaken, without neutral, you should install LED (not CFL)  light on 1st switch, with capacitor bypass. Fan cannot be first.

and make sure your capacitor connect to Live before in enters device, and connect to Neutral after device. The Neutral is expected to be alive yaaa, not disconnected.

speaking on flickering...
I hv 2 switches in my room, and the second switch second button connected to my balcony t10 fluorescent light.
whenever i switch it on, the lights on first switch will flicker.
not sure how the electrician tap the power n causing it 😅

all switch, regardless number of gangs, have a "hidden" user.

A switch with it's own N connector behind
CODE

L --> "smart's logic board" --> N
  --> sw1 --> L1 --> device --> N
  --> sw2 --> L2 --> device --> N


A switch that does not have dedicated N connector behind, will share L1 with sw1's. In this case you need to have capacitor for L1 to bypass device straight to N.
CODE

L --> "smart's logic board" --> L1
              L1 --> capacitor --> N
  --> sw1 --> L1 --> device -----> N
  --> sw2 --> L2 --> device -----> N


i suspect the fan changing speed affected the logic board, thus excess leak to the shared L1
*
he is using old school fans, i long time didnt see those fan speed adjuster.

on another note, his fan Amp might exceeded the switch or capacitor capacity.

Nah mate

He added that the current version of Alexa will remain free, and that a paid version would need to demonstrate more advanced capabilities and usefulness.

Limp said that the company had not discussed what price it would charge for the subscription, adding that "the Alexa you know and love today is going to remain free" but that a future subscription-based version is "not years away."

I'm actually starting to look into it. Will be integrated with HA also. From initial guide review... Yes... Looks complicated. Any luck on your side getting it up? What's the roadblock you faced?

Are you planning on getting a tpu to go with it?

- i need VoIP to for home phone, and that also left me with having to retain ISP router
- 3 nodes of m9 plus mesh cannot sustain continuous connection of too many HAS devices, and does not support multi-SSID
- thus i had expand 4 nodes mesh using Maxis LG8245X10-6 to carve multi-SSID only on 2.4GHz

- LG8245X10-6 have limited entries for mac-based dhcp assignment (thus i can only assign to important devices),
- LG8245X10-6 only allow /24 LAN subnet size (254 possible IPs). i cannot resize to /23 (510 possible IPs).
- since the suspected behaviour of tuya wifi devices seems to be fetch new IP and not reuse what was previously assigned (trust me, a list of dhcp assignment for same mac), the only solution left under the constraint of all is to shortened the dhcp lease lifetime, so that those IP which was previously assigned and no longer used can be recycled as soon as practical.

--

can smartlife set fixed IP?
i don't accept "set up this server in order to do that" kind of solution.
not because i not techie, but i don't have time to continously maintain such set up, and if i die, nobody will be able to pick up. it must be a ready solution for non-techie to understand.
*
ip assignment based on mac address can only be done by dhcp server.

If Tuya they have a new unit that can incorporate with their ip camera, can see and control in 1 screen. See if Aqara have similar features.

this does seem easier to do, unfortunately not really an option for me - staircase ceiling light too high cant reach  biggrin.gif

I have 2-ways switch headache for my staircase and shared bathroom too.
basically the switch on the market did not offer any suitable solutions for 2ways wall switch.
at the end, the best solution is to use normal switch on both side and sync the status.

I flashed tasmota, in it hv a feature that able synced the device's status... its device to device without server.
I use websent at first, it works but sometime doesn't sync and slow.
then I use devgroup to sync. it is much much better and fast.

try it...

So I have 3 Aqara S1E that the screen is failing by flickering... I kinda enabled the standby screen so it is usually black color. Surprisingly now all of them seem to work fine again, no more flickering.
*
i no need to be expert aldy can see it is overheating.

to proof this, choose 1 to disable ur standby screen.
then use a fan to blow directly to it, or use in aircon room.

this may sound like a stupid question, let's say if i change my router to a diff model but maintain the same SSID and password, will all my smart home devices still auto connect to it and work as usual?
*
new wifi ap have a lot of not compatible feature.
it might work if u follow this...
1. use only legacy mode
2. disable wifi6
3. disable mesh
4. same ssid, wpa2, wireless-n, 2.4G only, same channel, same band
5. if possible, set ur device to auto reboot if no wifi connected

currently I plan on upgrading my stock unifi router (already wifi 6) to a better one, but my whole smart home had already been setup (tuya zigbee switches + a few wifi stuffs)

since im going from wifi 6 to wifi 6, will there be any issues? also they are all connected to 2.4ghz currently
*
if all ur switch are zigbee, should be OK.
u only need to configure ur zigbee hub

but if u hv any 82xx chip, this chip is underpowered and legacy.
don't ever change

ps: or configured this Unifi router as AP, make it as a dedicated IoT wifi
ur new router use new ssid

why dont change since its underpowered and legacy? and how to check?
*
underpowered because the processor is only running at 80MHz compared to ur multicore smartphone with GHz speed.
or imagine the same chunk computer exists 30 years ago now in ur smart switch.
and no need to change coz it need to run as low power as possible, 0.02W to 1W

how to check... fyi all IoT devices are underpowered.
even the most powerful esp32 is also underpowered, but can it work with wifi6 mesh.
