Anyone using presence sensors?

Can still discern different target if too close to each other? Like if someone sit next to you while watching tv

Also, the sleep monitoring feature can detect multiple target?

Does fan mess with anything? I heard loads of these mmwave stuff are affected by that

I see, so sleep monitoring disables the presence detection. That's probably something they need to fix

You put the fans in exclusion zone?

correct.

consumer routers do support this.
but there is limit to the number of entries.

anyway, i was initially relating how i eventually solved the problem of my wifi-based HA devices keep falling offline.
partitioning by loads of SSIDs AND shortening the dhcp lease.
loads of SSIDs alone does not solve it.

for small number of wifi HA devices, maybe it's not apparent enough as you get to recycle IP even on long lease.

I am personally holding out for Aqara U200

You can also go full tuya. Aqara devices are about twice more expensive but they can connect to matter and homekit

Got quoted this from Yeelight, fuiiyoooo. If I use Aqara I still need to use smart bulb and strips ya?

Thanks a lot, much cheaper than Aqara which cost RM200+ for each switch. Probably aqara intergration with homekit is better.

As a starter, should start with something cheap first.

So the thing I need to get are
Switches
Matter Hub
Apple TV/Pod

Should I draw a diagram for these 

But U200 until now also yet to release

Aqara Malaysia seems to acknowledge old batch hardware has this issue
Will deliver me a new unit this week to replace.

Within 6 days, happened 3 times "offline" already  17th, 20th, 22th

but at least warranty still honorable very fast.
How long since you started using ?
Firmware doesn't matter i think which is same now - 0024

Mind share your hardware ID?
Mine is 1.3.1 current buggy one.

After u click ur lock in Aqara app, press the 3 dots > Device information > Hardware version > see most bottom there

Do you connect to Aqara Hub btw?

You follow the step i mentioned above

After click the hardware version, you will be greeted with these listing and look at the last one:

Below are mine:
Main version : 3.0.0_0024
Version of front panel : 1.0.0_0024
Version of rear panel : 3.0.0_0024
Version of fingerprint : V3.2.6
Voice Version : 1.0.2
Bluetooth MAC address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Hardware version : 1.3.1

Hmm.. wonder what's the issue if everything already updated 
Does yours bound to any Aqara Hub?

Mine right now bound to E1 hub and Apple TV HomeKit.

Got the replacement unit and everything also same 

Now pasang back and need to monitor again

Meaning as coordinator, the dongle won't work at all without raspberry pi and the likes, right? Don't want to use it as router/repeater though.

Tuya is the cloud service/system with many oems using it

You can check smatrul/moes shop on shopee

You can still integrate your ewelink devices & tuya devices with homeassistant

Devices sold in taobao are china region and not able to support google home.

For aqara, from what i read in reddit, newer devices are starting to have regional lock. So be caution when buying.

Aqara if using Aqara app everything runs locally. Same with when integrate with matter. So no need connect to China.

As I understand, POE requires either injector or the switch to support POE. But my (possibly outdated) understanding is also that POE has a slightly higher risk of non-standard components causing devices to fry/burn (because of the increased voltage supplied). If my entire network no POE then theoretically less risk for all the wired devices (but then would need power point for every camera).
Thanks this is helpful. I'm familiar with CCTV which support wifi, as I currently using cheap china device for that (unfortunately the data is cloud-based and calling home to China too, would prefer to move away from that). So for me is option 1 or option 2, I guess as long as aesthetics not an issue option 1 is the most flexible (plus can always be converted to POE later on if the wall socket is needed for something else). Though I think external camera exposed to some splashing from rain maybe POE is safer?

Just share my experience with my recent purchase of a Tuya CCTV.

Reason for the Purchase:

1. My old Xiaomi CCTV installed at my car porch running on 2.4 GHz keeps on being disconnected or the signal unstable. When I check on the number of WiFi APs discovered outdoors compared to indoors, there are simply too many, and some more are using 40 MHz bandwidth for their channel. 

2. I need CCTV that supports 5 GHz (low latency and less interference).

3. CCTV that supports the RTSP protocol can be viewed from HA or any app supporting the RTSP protocol.

The result is within my expectations, except the video quality is not as good as my other 2K FHD Xiaomi CCTV.

I don't mind buying expensive Xiaomi CCTV or quality products if they support 5GHz and the RTSP protocol; otherwise, I will be locked into their ecosystem and not easily integrated into the HA.

NOTE: Not all CCTV supports the RTSP protocol.
