There are 3 ways to link it to a phone. 1st is via rf module like a Sonoff RF bridge but it will not work with rolling code type of autogate. 2nd way is to install an inching wifi module into the autogate control box. Your wifi signal must be good at the autogate control box. 3rd is to integrate your autogate remote with the inching wifi module. PM me if u interested.

3rd method just sacrifice 1 PC remote even if rolling code will still work, right?

do take note. for 2nd method, even as wifi is strong, sometimes it will still fail to / lag when communicating with Google Assistance.

First method I try before, was ok using Alexa & Broadlink RM pro. Will try Tuya wifi relay when I get it this week and see how it goes.

Only need to reconfigure if you are changing the router.
Or any hardware.

I thought new router just set same SSID & password for the 2.4GHz will do, what do you mean by reconfiguring?

Thanks.. I should have posted here first and your response would have got me exploring the flashing method with sonoff instead of getting the Broadlink RM4.

Anyway, all is working fine so far. I got my autogate to respond to GA and that has got me thinking. Maybe I can get some app is compatible with IFTTT to sense my car location from GPS and get GA to open the gate. tongue.gif. Also that has also got me digging around on how to load GA on my non-Android auto compatible car. I learnt Amazon has a cool auto gadget called Amazon Echo Auto(like rm250) and GA has a 3rd party from Anker called Bolt. But not worth to pay so much just to open gates. Anyway to sense my GPS location and open gates is cool but sounds silly to me. It's a WIP.

As of now, I am toying with my CCTV. Initially I was like just get those HIKvision WiFi cameras but I got itchy. I want to just be lazy and say "hey Google show me side camera". It should cast it to my TV.

This is my current project. I just set up a cheap NAS storage going. Dlink router with usb3 connected to a HDD dock(1TB). I know GA works with Xiaomi CCTV and I can cast it to Chromecast. There is a couple of Xiaomi CCTV models that support NAS storage. I am testing with another Xiaomi CCTV(the magnetic ip67) version and I am not happy with the load time with Xiaomi home app. Might end up scrapping Xiaomi cams and explore other NAS supported smart CCTV.

I also do not want to buy a Chromecast first and testing with Miracast(which I have) but my GA can't cast to Miracast. Just fiddling with this for now.

Anyway I am rambling as these are just testing. Will post if I get a decent system going. Good community/experts u have here. Keep it up smile.gif.

Most chinese cam display on 3rd party smart devices is slow. Because you are not going direct. The fastest I have tested is Vimtag. This company spent a lot on their streaming gateway. Hope one day Tuya/Xiaomi and the rest can improved like them.
QUOTE(xbotzz @ Aug 29 2020, 01:08 AM)
My autogate is those fixed RF on 433.xxMhz. So I just got the Broadlink RM4 to learn it.

U can get those 433RF receiver and fix the frequency. Personally those newer gates with complicated signalling methods is just up selling. Rolling codes, encryptions etc makes sense if used for automotive.

I read here someone will mess with their neighbors gates if they know the codes. tongue.gif If my gates started to behave strangely.. I will reset the dipswitch.

I just received this 2 way Tuya wifi relay board. Will try during this long weekend.

Mijia is Xiaomi so no way Tuya app can support it as of now. Totally different ecosystem.

Quick update on my Tuya wifi relay for my autogate, working fine with Alexa without any delay but the command is a bit weird, need to say "turn on both" instead of open.

Ya can report the AC temp, and same here for me, I switch the AC on and off, hardly adjust anything else, as to Dyson, Im also curious.
With AC swing would be a bonus, for those interested, I managed to control on/off, and speed for my ceiling fans and even swing for my stand fan via GA, not Broadlink but the cheaper Tuya IR blaster.

You duplicate the remote buttons on Tuya app instead of using predefined brands?

Hello..Anyone knows if it's possible to change this aircond switch to those smart switch?

Any recommended system to use if I want to explore changing my wall switch for the fan (old fan) and light (fluorescent) in the room. Quite like the Xiaomi Aqara but the plug point seems to be an issue for certain items like the gateway hub/smart plug/ etc as I'll need to get a converter.

How many HP is this aircond? If below 2, can use real 16A-20A smart switch. Get the magnetic relay type so you can check it's relay rating to be very sure.
Smart switch

LOL, come to think of it  biggrin.gif

You need to look underneath this board. Take out the screws at the back and slowly pry out the board.

Yes, this is what I meant. How to handle 20A or even 2A with no power component or heatsink. The 20A current is handled by that relay. On the other side the lead that carry the high current is made thick by adding more solder. That is why you hear ticking sound when switching switch  biggrin.gif

For aircond is better to get the one that cut off the neutral as well.

Is there any benefit from using 16A Smart Power Strip compare to 10A because the plugtop is still 13A UK 3 pin. Unless I change the Plugtop to UK 3 pin round I don't see any benefits, right?

The 16A power strip is there because many European country has 16A socket. The pin is round one, but if you change to 13A British standard 3-pin, then it become 13A power strip  biggrin.gif

If you run load at 13A, probably wire runs a bit cooler  laugh.gif

yes, original is this EUROPEAN SCHUKO Type F.
