QUOTE(weikee @ Jan 13 2017, 04:50 PM) Don't use ezbuy US buy for me service, suck big time!!! I wait for 1.5 months for echo dot and they told me Amazon didn't dispatch the items at the end, during the 1.5 month waiting period, message them, email them, all got this standard replied -> item not dispatched. It wastes my time and I lost opportunity to get echo dot at US$39.9, now I got to buy it at US$49.9! Fxxx ! ezbuy is my blacklist now.

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Jan 12 2017, 10:07 PM) For the broadlink rm pro, how do you extend to other rooms? Do you have to use rf extender cable like with logitech harmony or get multiple rm pro and place it various room like the kitchen/living room? Can you share how you configure smartthings with xiaomi home suit system? I don't extend, instead I bought two broadlink devices, one is RM pro and another one is black bean (RM Mini) Certain xiaomi zigbee devices have custom device handlers for smartthings, so I just use those device handler to configure xiaomi zigbee devices

DHL ar, sounds expensive for shipping, which service you're using & what's the overall price including postage?

no, i dont use ezbuy
the service i use is MYUS.com it has options for me to pick to use dhl or fedex, but all these while im used to DHL, easier access for me to pick up
@alu, i just bought one unit of the harmony hub, havent reach me yet still thinking how can i link it so i can voice control in my room as well, any ideas? the hub itself will be in the living room for sure, it comes with an ir blaster too

Are there wifi controlled switches that can be hidden behind wall switches like those from Fibaro but not needing a controller hub?
I asked Sonoff but their reply is a bit strange

Either getting extra rm pro or rf extender device Now I'm still looking for low cost wifi/rf wall switch that be controlled using tasker/alexa. If anyone has any suggestions, please do recommend

Or do you have say an extension power outlet but you only want to control one something This post has been edited by idoblu: Jan 16 2017, 08:34 PM

So it turns on/off all at once?

Depends how you wire it. If you put the Sonoff at the extension wire then it will control all three. If put say at the fan wire then it controls the fan Oops...maybe I misunderstood you. You said wall switch? This is not for wall switch This post has been edited by idoblu: Jan 16 2017, 08:44 PM
