Dear all sifus,
I'm planning to make my house smart with Google Home.
Looking for smart blind which is Google Home supported.
So far only found Hunter Douglas, planning to go quote for a price.
Any other brand which is available in Malaysia?

Have done some research on cheaper solutions like Axis/Blunt but there are not available to purchase here. Please share your comment.

Expensive as fudge even for the Western countries.
Maybe go DIY route. Sorry , can't help.

Before starting the project, consider how many time per day you would want to open and close the blind. Is it even 30m walk to your blind. Why would we want to spend so much just to avoid walking to blind several meters away to open or close probably twice a day, but every morning jogs around our taman just to keep fit.

Is this a smart move?

Anyway, I think I saw product sold here but how expensive is considered expensive? You go Taiwan or China side instead for sure cheap.

This Sonoff have a very confusing to understand it function network.

I have change to a new router modem last week. I didn't realize that need to pair again all the device.

Sonoff still function as normal with timer schedule even I didn't pair it again. That mean it function without the network or cloud server.

Than yesterday power trip. When power back, it cannot function anymore. Remain off all the time. Even prg schedule timer ON, it remain off.

That show,

1) It don't keep the data that you prg in ? When power OFF, the data gone ?
2) It mean need to get the data back from your HP in the ewelink to unable function back after power ON.
3) Without able to detect your apps in the HP from the cloud server/ network, it cannot run back.

Time to flash to Tasmota. Now support MQTT and also HTTP commands if u don't have MQTT (local IP mode)

It is same SSID and password. It confirm need to pair everything again by my another Xiaomi cam.

But the router modem now have 2.4g and 5g network. Sonoff doesn't run on 5g

Cloud network doesn't store any data. It is just a DDNS. Keep link your ewelink apps to the sonoff.

Since you are running 2.4G network, then should not need to pair again unless your Sonoff is particular of your router MAC address. Just a guess only.

Or it likes B mode only.

Not sure what it assign in the router.

But it confirm cannot run on 5g. I tried pair in 5g but it can't detect. Only fall back to 2.4g and it work.

This is what the sonoff behave I believe.

You can try experiment with it. Understand how it behave.

Already know they don't work with 5GHz network. Stated in the manual. Anyway, don't have a 5Ghz network to test either.

I mean not just the 5g or 2.4g.

But the way sonoff run.

Do sonoff store the data you prg ? What happen if no network ? What happen if HP off and no ewelink? etc..

As you know Sonoff supports 802.11b/g/n which is 2.4GHz only. The client side (sonoff in this case) will follow the wireless AP mode setting. If fall back to 2.4g, it means that the AP is set to run 2.4g mode. If you use an AP that is set at 2.4b or 2.4n, then the sonoff will switch accordingly.

I recently changed router too. I have about 37 wifi devices. All connected by themselves no need to pair again.
You need to set the same ssid and password for the 2.4ghz band as your previous router.
I normally use the guest network for all my smarthome stuff

If Sonoff suddenly powers off, it still keeps the settings.

That's what I think stock Sonoff behave which I don't have any.

For Tasmota:
1) All the info is stored inside the particular Sonoff which you keyed in the info.
2) It will go into AP mode where u can connect with phone/computer. It will display "sonoff-XXXX-YYYY" where XXXX is the state topic set and YYYY is some numbers. Now, I need to check if i can still control Sonoff Tasmota when it is not connected to router.
3) No problem. Still can function like a manual switch.

Which I think should happen. Maybe he didin't update the stock firmware.

2.4g and 5g have different SSID and password ?

It is confirm that the SSID and password is same. I pair again with the same old SSID and password. It mean I still have to pair. Won't auto.

For xiaomi dafang also. It lost connection and have to pair again.

Yes my 2.4 and 5ghz has different SSID
I think previously your router is only one band 2.4ghz
Then now you got another new router. Maybe you only turn on 5ghz but set the same ssid as your previous router
Check your router wifi again, confirm which is which

It change by the Maxis technician. Old router took back. I pass to them the SSID and password for them to key in back for me.

I can see 2 SSID. The normal 2.4g and the 5g in hp. When I tried to pair with 5g, it can't detect. Than change the wifi in hp to 2.4g. Than it able to detect and pair.

When switch over to 2.4g in wifi hp, it did ask again the password. Key in the password and jalan.
