nowadays those philips downlight with built in driver. meaning the driver is attach inside the light as well. so that how to tell that philips downlight is dimmable? not expensive though. RM23 each.
*
Spend rm23 to find out. Please let us know if it doesn't dim so we can save rm23.

Maybe if you use Xiaomi Switch, you can use the wireless button to switch off the individual lights (a pair) with 1 button press, 2 button press another set and long hold the final one.

He already says prefer wiring. Tuya have 1,2, 3 Gang two way smart switches but wifi only.

Mind showing the link bro, by 2 way you mean 1 wired and 1 non wired?

Thanks bro, wasnt really looking for myself but for @hendry91 since I saw it awhile back. Dont see the point of running another set of wires/hacking.

Well if using online gateway, when internet is down you cannot use the paired switch. If hardwired no such issues.

I'm referring to products that support smartlife app right from the start. It seems most usages are just smart power switches integration which act as middle men.

In the app, there are options for adding air con, lighting, cctv, alarm, gas detector. Any example of these products (kindly state the make and model if you know) that I can scan/add using the app?

Easiest things that I plan to do:
- cooking gas detector that trigger my phone (with the smartlife app) to sound
- rgb lighting strip with color control on the app
- aircon control with the app. I have an old (not smart) panasonic aircon.

When free I will start a Tuya smart home topic or anybody can start one? Here's some sample screen shots of some of my devices.

Bro, U on Tuya Zigbee?

Btw what does conman do?  biggrin.gif

Yes, Tuya Zigbee is good. T&H is just Humidity & temp sensor via Zigbee, no cabling. My aircon via ir blaster, my Alexa understand "conman" perfectly well brows.gif

Cool, I just ordered a tuya Zigbee and the same Temp sensor to test. The Tuya alarm/temp sensor I bought previously doesn't register as a temp sensor, so doesnt tell the temp/humidity via GA.

Was joking with my friend, very soon got coffin.

Bit confuse regarding on the Tuya Universal IR remote:

https://shopee.com.my/Tuya-Smart-Home-Unive...5961.5614335537

Is this thing Tuya orignally or it's compatible with Tuya App?

The real mode name is UFO-R1, right?

Tuya supply solutions to anybody that can pay them the royalties. So don't need to bother whether it's original or not.

Eachen is the biggest Sonoff supplier. Title says Sonoff but description is Tuya.
Anyway if can speak mandarin, should wait to try the Tuya IR blaster with voice control.

Does your Tuya doorbell responds every time you press the button? I have given up on mine. Failure rate too high.

Can try this, not the cheapest but its local and support is good.
https://shopee.com.my/product/140301560/2402432786
I bought a few and I feel theyre all a little faster than Broadlink, which hangs sometimes, or maybe my unit is faulty, Im not sure.
*
Price rather high, is it similar packaging as mine? I think I got 2-3 spares. Can let go cheaper if anybody need. I prefer the smaller unit or now there's another new option. White color & cable can conceal on plaster ceiling. Really hard to keep up with Tuya. First one is lousy, different model detected on Tuya, 2nd & 3rd is ok.

Yea, i also saw broadlink but the price for Pro+ though kinda deep.

How say hangs ?

Right now i'm using Sonos One for Google assistant and sometime it can't recognise my command and stay mute there after "hey google"
Not sure is the slang problem ?
What's the 3rd model? Feels like minimalist still the best, provide the functioning is good
*
2nd & 3rd is same model name in Tuya app so same functions.

Just search this thread for TC2 and make your own decision.
Other switch like WiFi or Zigbee one.
Most likely RF switch will be compatible with RM pro, just need to search and check
*
Long time never play with my Broadlink, their RF switches cannot see Status, right?

Not sure to what extend you need the lock to be smart. One example:
