I am testing a new click type but need double check if they sent me wrong design. They say is plastic but what I received is brush aluminium which look quite nice.

I want to keep it simple for now. GA is fine.

Anyway I hv the white round Tuya Zigbee Thermometer and a Broadlink RM4 with the HTS2 USB sensor, GA is able to read out verbally the temp and humidity for the Broadlink but not the Zigbee, I hv to refer to the app to see the temp for Zigbee, is that normal?
*
Tuya sensors/devices all in a mess due to supllier in China ignorance or maybe cutting corners. If they did not open the services for Alexa/Google with Tuya certain function not available. Make sure you get the right details before buying.

I guess you cannot find some to specific angle and height. Just go to any workshop that make cabinet perhaps.

Maybe just DIY using plywood

This is the only one i can find for Zigbee Tuya, and ya its exps, I hv 4 of those Tuya wifi ones with energy monitoring, much cheaper but funnily only 2 works, the other 2 can see network but cant connect, not sure why.
*
Unless you need to move it around might as well used those small zigbee that can fit inside the 3 pin socket though no energy monitor too but much cheaper.

I have the 16A version very good (the two usb cannot be control individually) but for local use I need change back to 13A UK plugtop which kind of defeat the purpose

It's BLE mesh. If only one unit distance to the gateway cannot be too far though.

That's a good idea. Correct me if I misunderstood, but the idea is to wire up the 3 fan speed and on/off to a multi gang smart switch for control?

Though that leaves the open/close of the cooling valve left to control.

Alternatively, a quick Google brings me to a fcu smart thermostat by Hotowell that seems to fulfill what I want to do with the upgrade project. Anyone used their products before? Attached is the user manual.

Maybe you should check in EU FB forum, they are more into thermostat. Autodomo

Hi sifus  notworthy.gif  I am an aspiring homeowner and also a big fan of smarthomes so I've allocated a 10k budget just to kickstart my smarthome dream!

Hence, I would appreciate if the experienced sifus here can look at my planning and give me some advice/suggestions to cut down on my current budget (so I can buy more tech  laugh.gif ), any alternatives you guys think are better, or any brands I should avoid.

Here are some assumptions I've made while budgeting:
- Regular sized double storey terrace house. Say 22x70.
- I will be using Homebridge, installed on Synology NAS
- I want to control everything on Apple Home on my iPhone (hence Homekit)
- Looking to use Zigbee primarily so that my network isn't congested.
- No need for smart lights/dimming/changing fan speed etc.

Here's how my current budget looks like:

This is the breakdown on how I got to 15 smart switches.

Thank you for your time!

Edit 1: No extra spending on router. I'm staying with my family (4 pax) and we are subscribed to Maxis Fibre 300mbps. I'm still ok with the router they've given and we also have the Deco Mesh system to help with upstairs speed. In my new house, it will only be me and my gf/wife (same person ya  brows.gif )

Better spend more on cctv. Should used IPC instead of analog. Also, Tuya can work with Homekit? Best to invest in a single ecosystem instead of mix and match unless you want to go the RPI way with HA.

Yeah, probably can cut to 1k there, then use few hundred to "upgrade" vacuum, just worried about the quality because don't wanna go too cheap on security-related stuff. Thanks!
IPC is IP Camera right? Because wireless cameras technically need to be wired also (can't trust battery), that's why I chose wired. And I don't want it to hog my network, so I prefer record offline to recorder but can access recording "on-demand" through internet only, that's why select analog. But thanks, will do a little more research on this too!

Even 4 nos 4k ip camera will not affect your internet performance because only the NVR will stream on demand to your mobile or laptop.
