Don't think you can fit the sonoff into the wall switch and you will need a neutral lead
You can try installing it above your plaster ceiling to control a few lights

water pump only turns on when water is running, so I dont see why you need to turn off/on via an app

If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if I just get the XiaoMi Gateway and use all XiaoMi products?

As long as xiaomi zigbee device is not managed by xiaomi gateway, it won't send info back to China.

Yup. that's the only draw back. I can live with it cos they are cheap.

Btw, how much are other compatible hubs / gateways that works with xiaomi zigbees?

For my setup, I don't think I dealt with any broadlink batch file/script
Easier way to add the broadlink devices is by following this guy's steps in the description (he's using it for google home, echo also can)



You'll just need to add your homeassistant ip/login info

I use broadlink TC2 and Broadlink RM Pro IR/RF hub, broadlink can be managed by smartthing through broadlink android bridge apps

Hi guys, what's the cheapest 2 button wall switch that's compatible with smartthing? The cheapest I found is Aqara ZigBee which is about 99RMB.

Planned to use it to control indoor ceiling lights.

ordered another s20 smart socket from Lazada but they sent me wrong plug type
wasted my time. But this s20 smart socket really reliable. I’m going to use it to turn on off my Xiaofang

dunno which model hahaha

i did tried the temperature thing, doesnt work 

seems most users complaining about the skill doesnt really work, wait till it mature again, then re try

You need a Universal Remote
One remote to control all

You need a smartphone for remote ?

My smart home system has been straight forward and very simple in design. In spite of  that, my boss says that after I'm dead, she wont know how to work things and will "tear out everything" (her words) once I am gone.....

Didnt realize this is a real concern until I watch this 

The app was auto-updated 3 days ago in my phone. Was surprised with the new layout appearance when I first saw it.
Encountered at least 2 times of incidences where the system hanged and claimed itself offline :-(
After reseting (off & on) the hard switch of the lights, the problem solved.
Seems that this updated version is not as good as the previous version ... somehow, contrary to one of the stated reason for the upgrade.

Have you try Tuya/Geeklink before for comparison?
