QUOTE(slimey @ Apr 1 2021, 11:37 AM) Possible a bit. Sometimes the paint will stick to the edge of the switch cover and peel off together when remove the switch. If you see paint that is sticking to the switch at the edge, need to use knife to score the edge to prevent the paint from lifting together with the switch when removing. I see. I want to replace my switch but am worried it will damage the wall paint...cause if that happens usually have to repaint whole wall |

QUOTE(wailing81 @ May 18 2021, 09:13 AM) hi, currently, my aqara app had set to china region. May i ask if i change to other region, will all my automation and device connected need to redo again? or will it still stay as it is? thanks I changed my region before. Just had to relogin, everything remains the same...However, I notice some devices can only be added in certain regions. |

QUOTE(Kiding @ May 18 2021, 10:19 AM) Only changing china region to other regions or vice versa will cause all of your current devices missing, and you need to redo everything. What is the benefit of setting as china region? I have not done in before...I have used Other and USA region and switched between them so far. |

QUOTE(Kiding @ Jun 26 2021, 01:13 PM) As long as there is a CCP Great Firewall in between, don't expect the delay or latency issue can be improved. My Aqara home app get time out frequently as my devices are set in China region. I am using Other server in Aqara at the moment. What is the benefit of using China server? |

I have an Aqara Hub and am now trying to pair it with my MiHome app. The pairing is successful and all but it does not show up in the MiHome app, however it does show up in Apple Home though. Does anyone know the reason why?
I have tried all the methods that are listed online (changed DNS, reinstalling the app, removed the hub in all places), but it still doesn't work.

QUOTE(Agathon55 @ Nov 10 2021, 12:39 PM) Sounds like a possible region issue. Is your Aqara Hub chinese or global? And what's your account region set to? If the hub is chinese, try changing your account to Mainland China. If Global, then you should be able to use Malaysia. I see thanks. My hub is global but I tried to connect to China server, that was the issue. |

QUOTE(ssmart @ Nov 17 2021, 12:43 PM) 1 of my Aqara D1 switch said goodbye to me after 9 months. Depends on luck sometimes.  How did it break? Suddenly can't connect? Manual switch still working or just the smart home setup? |

QUOTE(adamletham @ Jan 17 2022, 02:34 AM) Need recommendation for smart door lock for condo. Budget is under RM1k (including installation). For that budget, you can probably look at Aqara N200 door lock. I think it sells around that price now, it was around 900 when I bought it. |

QUOTE(adamletham @ Jan 17 2022, 03:20 PM) There’s one going around RM900, but installation is a further RM300+. What do you think of it? Any major flaws/annoyances? I've been using it for several months now. So far no complaints. It works well with the MI Home app. But one thing to note though, you will want to consider a door lock that works well with your smart home ecosystem. |

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Apr 19 2023, 01:13 PM) I know many said Aqara generally is better quality than Tuya But I recently bought these Tuya switches by Moes and I actually prefer the pressing feel compared to Aqara D1 https://s.lazada.com.my/s.5iPNzI have been using the Aqara D1 switches for more than two years now. The quality is good, have never given me any issues. The only improvement that I wished is that I hoped that more smart appliances can be supported in their Aqara app, but of course we have the option of using the mihome app. However in terms of the app usability I still prefer the Aqara app. |

I have the Aqara N200 door lock and found that although it pairs up nicely with the aqara hub that I bought, but it does not function as an offline gateway. Meaning it can only pair up when I am connected to wifi.
If I am looking to connect via bluetooth too, does it mean that I have to invest in another bluetooth gateway?

I have been using Aqara switches for close to 3 years now. Very reliable. None of them broke down so far.
