QUOTE(wailing81 @ Jan 17 2020, 11:26 AM) cause i prefer sonoff smart switch design. will look at the possibility of linking both with google assistant. or any sifu here have experience doing so? thanks. There’s also tuya click switch if you don’t prefer touch switch. Pair tuya/xiaomi/other brand to hass and you’re good to go with some automation

QUOTE(chriscym @ Jan 21 2020, 11:20 AM) Hey friend, I thought I read the wrong thread on Pixel 4 when i see a familiar name  But one question why is china version better? Is it because it has wider product support? Pretty much, i haven’t bought much xiaomi product since but most new release works with china server. You can start with smart hub first, then buy sensors for your doors, camera, windows, or doorbell that pairs with the hub. Also, anyone here tried the yd fingerprint lock? Secure enough for normal use

QUOTE(chriscym @ Jan 21 2020, 02:07 PM) Hi alucard, what about this https://shopee.com.my/XIAOMI-Mi-Smart-Home-...99848.116092916 is this a good start? I saw it contains the gateway v2 That’s a good start This one you can also pair with homeassistant It pretty much allows you automate with smart home devices from different brands. This you can also explore later

QUOTE(CMShun @ Feb 7 2020, 12:39 PM) Is it I can buy the items ourselves to achieve fully auto? I have come across with few company, just wonder is it we really need their app to achieve so called different scenario? My main is 1. Light, 2. Aircond 3. Curtain 4. Security and safety. Speaking of curtains Anyone using smart curtain can comment on installing it? Can it the rails be extended to fit your curtain length or you need to choose rails that fit exactly the same length? The switchbot curtains seems to be excellent choice without modifying your existing curtain setup. Anyone else pledged for it on their indigogo? Haven’t try switchbots yet

QUOTE(idoblu @ Feb 13 2020, 04:30 AM) New smart switches from Aqara. Slight design change with the led now front facing and shape a bit more squarish. Everything else is basically the same. It also comes in 3 Gang. Still zigbee 1.2 so current older hubs will work with it [attachmentid=10426837] Pricing? This one no need neutral right

QUOTE(hungrygodzilla @ Feb 18 2020, 04:26 PM) I pledge for the Big Bonus Pack - Early Bird, USD598, 8 x curtain bot, 16 pair of hooks, 8 x add on, 2 x hub mini From exp, KS normally no such thing as free shipping for buying more one la. I hope the shipping can be flat rate, cause I will be adding more curtain bot to my order when the campaign survey is ready. My colleagues interested. Indiegogo seems like more expensive, same package is SG$,1041 = USD 747.60, 25% more than the early bird price in KS. I see, so the shipping fee is not determined yet? I guess you’ve already used the switchbot, how is it so far?

QUOTE(blancpain4470 @ Feb 24 2020, 11:08 AM) I can't seem to get both my Xiaomi and ezbiz video cameras to connect to my Echo Show. The xiaomi totally didn't show up in device list in Alexa. My ezbiz camera were discovered but Alexa keep on saying they are asleep! I linked both mi home and ezbiz to alexa of course. 🤔  Wait, we can actually do this now with select xiaomi cameras or all models?

Alexa in mi home skill did say "Alexa shows camera" 🤔 Yeah, obviously with Echo show, but I thought it's only for their echo camera/nest cam. Didn't know it supports for xiaomi/hikvision camera also

QUOTE(blancpain4470 @ Feb 26 2020, 10:10 AM) Just wondered has anyone installed August pro lock? I am thinking of getting it from amazon. My house’s dead bolt is similar to the ok example in the photo. Just not sure if us door lock is any different from MY.   Just remember you still need to add optional august keypads since it's not included with the lock. If you still want to key in access code other than having to whip out your phone from your pocket everytime you wanna to enter your house Yes, it's similar to normal bolt doors in malaysia, as long as you're not scandivian lock.
