What is the problem? I'd suspect the resistor the least unless you notice any discoloration. It could happen but extremely rare in my experience. Active component is what you look first.

QUOTE(vaio_me @ May 16 2017, 11:44 AM)   Anyone using Xiaomi Mijia smart home? Sharing my smart home setup. Adding 2 more devices (Smoke and Gas detector) to complete my DIY smart home. As of today, I have about 40 connected devices to 3 of my Xiaomi Smart Home Gateway. For surveillance, I have set up 3 cameras, 1 at car porch, 1 at staircase and 1 at bedroom, still need more of this and thinking of getting xiaofang camera. For alarms system, all doors and windows are equipped with doors/windows sensor and human sensor. Some others usage of human sensors are to turn on light at specific time when someone pass by at staircase, study room, kitchen and master bedroom. The only thing that left is smoke and gas detector, thought of getting this for a long time. It wasn’t easy buy this as it is not available for sale in xiaomi website, I bought it taobao from a seller. So far, the quality is good, never had any doubt with Xiaomi products. With the smoke and gas detector, it will complete my smart home system and keep my family safe and peace of mind when going out. Just curious how did u pair your Honeywell sensors with the gateway. I'm trying to add to gateway as child device but there's no smoke detector listed. When I tried to add using add device, it says no zigbee gateway pulak damn it Attached thumbnail(s)

I have the version 1 that doesn't have the radio.

All sifus,
I have a question regarding Zigbee frequency which is 2.4Ghz (correct me if im wrong). Won't it interfere with your wifi which is running on the same 2.4Ghz?

QUOTE(Archdruid @ Nov 4 2018, 05:38 PM) Wonder how bad will the clash be. Appreciate any feedback from zigbee users here. Am planning on using zigbee Firstly, I'm not zigbee user. I would not worry about that. Zigbee operates basically in two modes, beacon and non-beacon. In beacon, the zigbee transmit signal to check its network on interval. However the transmission time is very minimal like 30ms. Even your wireless mouse also interfere with your laptop WiFi at 3s period. See how it affect WiFi since your mouse is moving most of the time In non-beacon mode like light switch mostly, the end device continuously listen to transmission. This require a bit more power but the end device is powered by power line. So, no problem. No transmission until necessary. It is using CSMA/CA, transmit only when no other transmission.

Am planning on using zigbee didnt really notice any problems like wifi there might be some dead spots but i solved them by putting some repeaters i got about 48 zigbee devices and 37 wifi devices of which 23 are 2.4ghz This post has been edited by idoblu: Nov 4 2018, 07:04 PM

Nodes transmit data when the nodes sense no carrier when they are about to transmit data. Since it is packet network, there are time slot to transmit in between transmission.

That's a bit technical to me but I think I get where you're coming from. Thanks!
