I've never tried any but I'm 100% sure it will work. However, there is one main concern for me.

I believe this type of socket USB port is using transformer-less design. Therefore, there is no isolation at all. Anything goes wrong, you will have direct AC voltage to your phone. For safety reason, I would not recommend this at all. How difficult it would be using the supplied USB adapter and I believe you still have few from your previous phone  smile.gif

Thanks for the heads-up. Yeah my main intention is to use the universal socket to plug in all my CN devices...USB was a bonus since its the same price....thanks!

Basically on personal import, it is random. Sometimes you get through and sometimes they tax you. SIRIM normally for those devices that require import permit (AP) which normally the device using radio frequency. If the brand is known one, normally no problem because it is assumed already approved by authorized dealer. For China brand one, depends on luck and how the description in invoice.

Going over to LCCT tomorrow to collect, wish me luck!

You can go to custom website, look for tax tariff.

Than find the category cctv. It will show you how many % tax.

Tomorrow going there, if you not sastify with the high tax, show him the category tax.

I think you better not confuse about tax and duty. Now Malaysia no more sales tax but replace by GST 6%.

For indoor camera, declare under HS code 8525.80.1000, duty is 0%

For outdoor camera, declareunder HS code 8525.80.90.0 also no duty.

You have to pay GST 6% for the invoice amount only

Thanks guys !

Finally got my cameras...tips..it doesn't matter what invoice you bring to show proof of purchase price. They will go online and check the price themselves. End up paying RM66 for GST.

Dear sifu,

Is it possible to connect Sonoff Basic switch to the autogate open/close wall switch and will the gate opening/closing functions can be controlled by mobile app?
*
You can use this sonoff version with inching feature - https://www.itead.cc/smart-home/inching-sel...ess-switch.html

can this sonoff use even the wall switch button is turned off?

example: wall switch button is off but i use app to turn it on, can this work?

No.The box taps its power from the circuit. If circuit is off...the sonoff is also disabled.
