Thanks for sharing. Do u mean aqara hub? Still need another apple hub?

I just realized most of my switches next to the 20A aircond switch. So meaning i can pull the neutral from the AC switch right? But if i wan to install 2x 3gang aqara D1 switch. Both can use back the neutral wire from the ac switch?

Thx in advance
*
I ask one electrician and he says it's better to switch the "Live" of the switch to the same MCB of the 20A switch. Wonder if this is necessary? Seems most new condo's nowadays always have 20A next to normal lighting switch. Unless that switch position don't have any 20A switches.

What the 20A switch switches? TO cut power to the light switch there?

No, it just happens to be beside the normal light switch. Developer does it for your aircond/heater used, single phase only.

Not using Aqara but Tuya type switches, already blew 2, 1 was due to led light driver blew, the other was I think due to incompatibility being paired with an analog motion sensor, was ok for a while, then one day just tripped, reset CB few times then it blew. Both is with the capacitor type, both capacitor was intact but the switches spoilt. Could it be the neutral type more lasting?

BTW, if anyone using Osram ledvance, mind commenting on the quality? I bought Philips Meson but the size and brightness available not suitable for me.

The two Tuya switches is SCR or Magnetic relay type. SCR have no sound when on/off.

No sound type bro

Seems failure rate of SCR is higher. Cost also lower than magnetic relay type.
QUOTE(remeron @ Oct 2 2020, 11:16 AM)
Thanks. Will buy one and try.  I was worried about needing a capacitor as well, didn't want to bother with the hassle.  Good to know this one doesn't need.

Capacitors depends on your lightings in the house and also the types & brand. If your house no low wattage lightings, maybe ok.

Xiaomi universal IR
- tie to xiaomi ecosystem (very useful if you are using xiaomi ecosystem)
- expensive
- better outlook
- support lesser brand of infrared-equipped home electronics and appliances (Mostly for china brand)
- automation through xiaomi app

Broadlink
- cheap
- support most of the brand of infrared-equipped home electronics and appliances in malaysia
- poor design of UI for app

If you are getting smart controller for IR devices only then either 1 is fine.

Be aware, some of the fans are using Radio frequency instead of IR. If u are getting RF fan in future, better get broadlink RM4 pro.
*
Even though Broadlink support RF it cannot control all RF remote based fan. My rubine ceiling fan cannot detect at all.

Yes else u can use voice command. For homekit i not sure. for GH u need broadlink and xiaomi u need xiao ai to trigger.
Even u manually pair with ur fan remote also cant?

Cannot detect at all. Maybe I need change the RF receiver or direct add a wifi enabled board.

for xiaomi app.. you can make a manual automation and add to siri shortcut.. then u can voice siri to on off for you.

things that you want to do kinda complicated.. homekit + google + xiaomi? you might need to explore home assistant.. cause xiaomi dont go along with google home.
im using xiaomi IR + external RF blaster.. can control my rubine fan and fanco fan. my motorized blind as well.
*
Is your rubine fan remote IR or RF?

Smart as in just notify me when its rung, I purchased a Hue Outdoor Motion sensor that will be on the opposite pillar of the doorbell and there is already a CCTV camera that I have gotten the RTSP stream for. So the idea is that if motion is detected, then I will be alerted with a snapshot (through HomeKit) and if the bell is rung I will be alerted through Alexa (Home Assistant). I could import the motion sensor to Home Assistant first as well.
