QUOTE(zaku90 @ Apr 20 2020, 08:31 PM) Any other cheaper option?? i stumble upon amazon echo show 5. Just want some choice that I can compare and make decision. Show 5 have hearing problem and current price more expensive if you compare with this current 99.90usd for 2 Google Nest Hub, that's a no brainer. Unless you need built-in camera.

QUOTE(zaku90 @ Apr 20 2020, 09:34 PM) ooooo, i didnt notice its for 2, yeah, no brainer with that price, but too bad didnt accept MY credit card, and i think no international shipment? Any other suggestion? If mandarin speaking use Tmall Genie, they also have a 7" model, Tmall Genie CC but stability might be an issue because server is in China. Good thing is free music without subscription. |

QUOTE(Fubar20 @ Apr 28 2020, 05:36 PM)  How can they be excessive voltage load if the fan and lights are using mains voltage of 220 to 240V? You are saying those are using more than 240V? |

QUOTE(meerule @ May 6 2020, 01:38 AM) hi, would like to know more about this universal remote by broadlink. Yes because they have more than 1 IR Led. I have open up my Tuya.Can one device control multiple device in a room? let say i placed one broadlink in my living room, can it be use to control the TV, aircond, smart blind using only one unit in the same room? Btw, my supplier inform me his Zigbee no neutral (Tuya Zigbee wired or wireless gateway needed) is ready for order. Anyone willing to be guinea pig? I don't like rocker type, prefer touch. According to them, on paper "Marked with 5W minimum for Led, but actually their test is at 3W LED no issue. No capacitor needed. When connected to Zigbee gateway have 2 Led indicators, Blue Led always on, RED led is status, when Off is red. Power supply: Live wire only(No neutral) Adapter Type: EU/UK Working current: Max 10A Load power:<800W Working voltage: AC100 - 240V, Frequency: 50 / 60HZ Service life: 100,000 times  This post has been edited by adamw: May 6 2020, 02:28 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(coo|dude @ May 6 2020, 02:57 PM) I would be interested! Can share some details? Special price but limited units. I think cannot post price here, right?What other details you need? Btw, for samples the marking behind maybe in chinese. Update on the rocker/toggle smart switch. Didn't know there is 2 types in the market. One is magnetic relay, will hear the realy sound when on/off and another is SCR silicon-controlled rectifier which is silent. Any idea which is better? My existing zigbee touch switch is SCR while this new rocker is magnetic relay. This post has been edited by adamw: May 7 2020, 04:52 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Kiding @ May 9 2020, 11:00 AM) For xiaomi eco system, if the device requires you to be in china region, I will try to avoid it, the reason is simple, network connection to china is not really consistent and fast, sometime you can get up to 10 seconds delay, imagine the motion sensor detects your motion, and then lights only turn on after 10 seconds But why so many users still go and buy Xiaomi smart home devices since it's so unstable? Every now and then can see people saying this device or that device is down or not compatilble due to global & china region.  Xiaomi This post has been edited by adamw: May 9 2020, 12:19 PM |

QUOTE(IMF2025 @ May 12 2020, 04:38 PM) Anyone using smart plugs together with amazon echo dot? You mean smart sockets like this? If yes, than can control via Alexa no issue. Can even automate with sensors and timing schedule.Can I just plug in any device and control it (ie turn on and off)? QUOTE(Fubar20 @ Mar 19 2020, 09:50 AM) User of Sonoff and Tuya based smart plug here. Is yours square or round?If you mean socket, Sonoff got outdoor socket while there are Tuya based socket for single or double socket with a USB outlet.

QUOTE(IMF2025 @ May 14 2020, 01:24 PM) Just a follow up to this. I want to use this to turn on and off a tower fan. Would it work? Because I’ve tested manually By turning the switch on and off on the tower fan But it doesn’t Turn back on. Only way is to use the in off switch on the fan itself. It won't work. Does your tower fan got remote?Would the smart plug be able to recognize that ? |

QUOTE(aztechx @ May 16 2020, 09:46 PM) Keep reading online about no neutral very fast rosak or worst can rosak the LEDs Maybe the capacitor types, nowadays should be better. Who tell you cannot use smart switch with normal fluorescent with ballast & starter?https://passionhome.sg/product/aqara-wall-s...-wire-required/ If cant use with starter means my L BOX kalimantang light cant automate dy right using the no neutral switch?  Have a weird setup of eco dot + xiaomi hub now. The first recently found from my stash. Never knew i had it. Planning to base my setup on the alexa now. Starting with smart plugs and planning for the switches as a cheap way to start. But paused on the switches due to the reliabilit issues |

QUOTE(cablesguy @ May 17 2020, 09:00 AM) Sorry but still learning abt smart home, is there a non capacitor type for non neutral? Mine is Zigbee but Wifi also have non capacitors type but I prefer Zigbee. If tested ok, how many total smart switches you going to install in your house?QUOTE(Zot @ May 17 2020, 09:40 AM) Capacitor is optional, Install only if required under certain condition. New types of Zigbee No neutral don't need capacitor. In fact instructions is not to put capacitors.This post has been edited by adamw: May 17 2020, 12:08 PM |

QUOTE(Fubar20 @ May 17 2020, 12:17 PM) Get this from Aliexpress or Taobao. How is the sensivity of this switch? Instant touch/on? Or need press a bit like fingerprint only on?Can connect via eWeLink app or flash custom firmware on it. Need to install a capacitor though on one of the gang load. |

QUOTE(Zot @ May 17 2020, 07:01 PM) Yes you know I only have dumb switch Majority of no neutral smart switch will work with fluorescent lights.It's just a magnetic relay to connect the live wire, no rocket science at work., There are smart switch that can work with florescent, but that would be different one that most of you are using here. QUOTE(TheLegend27 @ May 17 2020, 06:25 PM) what abt this 1?? this 1 is mechanical switch (tactile) but also mention no neutral? look cheap compare to aqara. That's a battery operated RF remote switch. No wires at all.https://www.lazada.com.my/products/quicklin...whoC-EcQAvD_BwE This post has been edited by adamw: May 17 2020, 08:07 PM |
