Yeah, you guys made a point. I mixed up earth and neutral.

It looks like the best option here is to go with no neutral + hub?

I also plan to install smart door lock down the line. My research tell me that I should go with Agara A100 + free E1 hub, then only go with smart switch? Or the E1 hub is very basic. I do not tend to convert more switches to smart switch (maybe 2x 20A for AC I guess? That's the max I will go).

Please provide your feedback

Does Aqara has rf hub? I tried looking online and they only have ir. My fan uses rf instea of ir.

Not using 433mhz rf?

anyone using Aqara 2 switch ones? somehow the furthest one from hub which is master bedroom unable to link, reconnect or connect new

tried extending the wifi signal to no avail

should be D1 2 gang

i have lost the box

the 3 gang near the door works, hallway single gang. living room 3 gang. kitchen should be the same 2 gang works fine. im baffled

I using D1 switches no neutral

Ur right the range is the shittest of all. I have to shift my hub to middle of house to make sure all working. Based on aqara app, I have a door sensor and motion sensor right beside the D1 switch and both are showing acceptable zigbee signal, but the switch is showing 100% poor zigbee signal but I have a aqara cube 2 meter even further away from the switch and it have better signal 75% poor signal.

So meaning the aqara d1 switch is bad signal maybe because is no neutral so it must connect directly to the hub

oh lord.... i thought its like different model, keep add different ones in mi home, still cannot also
dont have bro, thats the furthest. because i put the hub in kitchen. then i need to somehow move the hub i guess... damn no more place lol

i see, that explains it. dont think id be buying another hub. i gave up linking my curtains too lol  just use remote

You use homekit or just aqara app?
If dun want to bother with homeassistant, install homebridge with broadlink plugin

Samsung smartthing smart home VS aqara.. Which is better?

I see... I thought samsung doesn't have full range of smart device. Mostly appliances only

With HA, can skip homebridge
HA will expose all those device entities to homekit

With HomeAssistant, u no longer need Homebridge. You can control everything from HA. I installed it before, but was too over my head for the tweaking of each setting. I think im getting old, so homebridge to just route the items into Homekit is easier for me. Besides, home minister will prefer homekit, and not HA.

But if you do have the time, HA opens up a whole world of monitoring, automation and etc. Not to mention things like NodeRed.

Feels like this might be easier to do on homeassistant with smartir & tasmota irhvac addons.

Daikin IR should be no issue, i have the same brand ac integrated

That fan remote, still can't learn the command with broadlink?

Just give it a try, install on the same device running homebridge

For ir device, I'd recommend getting this
Broadlink's ok since it has official ha integration but you can do more with esp based remote.

Seems not that hard, follow this instruction since it’s for supervised hass with extra settings

There’s tuya integration, localtuya.
Haven’t really used those since i just flash custom firmware on the wifi devices, and pair with zigbee2mqtt for the zigbee ones.

For the tuya ir/rf remotes, you’ll need to set up tap to run and the command will show up in scenes.

Anyone with experience with broadlink homebridge plug-in? Need some help with the json config.

I set up my audio video receiver under “tv” type, but only on and off appears. The volume, remote options didn’t appear. Not sure what am I doing wrong 😅.

The AVR is located in another room and my crappy processor don’t support Wi-Fi control, Bluetooth is quite finicky hence plan to use RF control instead.

I thought that brand usually for americans, got uk/msian type here?

26x80 semi d … lutron is very expensive .. but it’s impressive from what I see..

How you control then? Voice assistant?
