QUOTE(Fubar20 @ Jul 13 2020, 11:10 AM) For AC, use an IR blaster with temperature sensor or Sonoff POW R2 to make sure it is on. Can use geofencing for the water heater switch. Near home auto on.For water heater, use Sonoff POW R2/TH or Tuya 20A wall switch to turn it on. BTW, can sent link for 20A Tuya? I only find 16A. |

QUOTE(Fubar20 @ Jul 13 2020, 11:21 AM) Yup, Sonoff can geofencing with IFTTT or Home Assistant or Alexa. Tuya got so many suppliers, products, sometimes I also blur already. Looking into a 4" touch screen that fits type 86.Eh, you Tuya supporter asked me for Tuya link?  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Fubar20 @ Jul 13 2020, 02:39 PM) What is this? Looks powerful and complex I don't know if this guy simply put the Tuya badge there. Ask for instructions or video how it integrate with tuya and the idiot/conman says buy sample and instruction is inside. I found out this is actually from those AV system supplier.This post has been edited by adamw: Jul 14 2020, 11:58 AM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(idoblu @ Jul 14 2020, 09:38 PM) Lock is Zigbee but blinds are WiFi or Zigbee. Just got to choose which. Not necessary, so damn difficult to get 16-20A Zigbee water heater switch.Good thing about Tuya is they will make the same thing for different protocols so everything can be what you wish |

QUOTE(freakerz0id @ Jul 15 2020, 12:39 AM) thanks bro! Any alternative option for a cleaner look? haha.... the symbol and everything like abit messy but if no other choices then guess ill just have to go for it. Was hoping that i can find something like the link i provided. Very clean and modern switch look. I got a spare Tuya wifi unit similar to the AliExpress but 16A only. |

QUOTE(idoblu @ Jul 15 2020, 07:36 AM) I didn't change any of my AC/Heater 20A switches. My AC switch is always On. As for the water heater switch, this is normally just outside the bathroom. Just turn it On manually when you enter the bathroom. Don't tell me you still want to fish out your phone, open app, tekan tekan to turn the heater On/Off? There is no automation needed there as far as I can see. Instant water heater? |

QUOTE(cablesguy @ Aug 1 2020, 10:51 PM) Looks exactly like both the Tuya and Ewelink ones, even the brochure looks the same. For the normal WiFi switches can see quite a few different types, but the 20a I only see these ones. I suspect same manufacturer. Even if the switch stated 16A or 20A it's better to open and check to make sure. I got 1 rated as 16A but when open up it's only using a 10A relay  QUOTE(Zot @ Aug 1 2020, 10:24 PM) I see. I thought both way... need to order something but probably take long in current situation Within 1 week can reached MY, just order some 4gangs + 16A, arriving early next week.

QUOTE(Fubar20 @ Aug 3 2020, 06:33 PM) Tuya have an integration in HA where you just provide your Tuya account username and password Only for Tuya Wifi devices or now is everything Tuya? Got RPI but still hesitating to touch it after so long.For eWeLink, you need to install an integration in HACS (Home Assistant Community Store) which also need to install in HA for it to work. |

QUOTE(Fubar20 @ Aug 4 2020, 09:16 AM) Except that there is a solution for Zigbee hub users at this forum thread here, so maybe you can try it on a minimum RPI 3B Guess I can cold storage my RPI until somebody link the Zigbee hub to HA. BTW, just got my hands on a 4 Gang Tuya Zigbee that work with or without neutral. Looking good but if only 1 gang is wired need temporary setup with a neutral in order for it to be detected. Once detected & pair can fix it on the wall. According to the supplier if 2 or more gang is connected then totally don't need neutral for pairing but too lazy to test.This post has been edited by adamw: Aug 4 2020, 10:07 AM |

QUOTE(Fubar20 @ Aug 4 2020, 10:23 AM)  Just create the On Off scenes in my Smart Life app and it gets imported to my HA to use. So, the work around for Tuya Zigbee hub is usable or you may get a Sonoff Zigbee USB dongle to replace the Tuya Zigbee hub. Easy peasy and it's a waste to cold storage the Pi. |

QUOTE(TheLegend27 @ Aug 6 2020, 11:23 AM) guys, wanna ask those LED Downlight, can it be dimmed with some device?? If the LED is dimmable but have 2 types of smart dimmer. The AC type dimming need special LED driver. If you google a lot of info on this, very confusing to layman like rocket science!  |
