Sifu, wanna ask, where is the practical place to this xiaomi smoke detector,

The general is ceiling but where, isi t near to curtain or in the middle or where, apprecaite your feedbacks

Are you using the sticker? If yes let me know if it drops down

As for placement- middle would be best

Ya will try to us sticker, wooried in fall down

Let me know if it falls down
Thanks

LOL! Won't fall down kua. My Sonoff Basics also use acrylic double sided tape to stick on ceiling.

Hahah ok now more confident

Buy good tape like 3M. Cheap DIY china one may drop over time.

Good placement would be an area where you think smoke will accumulate first. For 2 storey house, smoke tend to go up through staircase. So, the ceiling at the top center of the staircase is probably the best location. By probably 2 unit. One for kitchen ceiling and one hall area or location I mentioned. The wall at at kitchen entrance/opening will block the smoke from going to other space like hall until more smoke and this is late already

Ya outside kitchen before entering the living hall is a good lication.

Other location , near to stair is good but to high, probably find a low celing after the stair ceiling

How about room,

i bought one 3M VHB tape. Supposed to be the toughest but its not. Worst than the ones I bought from ACE
maybe i bought fake one

Yes branded one many fakes. If significantly cheaper than other shop, then suspicious.

Inside the room already late. Door closed and the smoke already thick outside your room

If happen inside brdroom?

Put one in every room.

So. put in each room Good business for Xiaomi

NFPA has some guidelines https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/By-to...ng-smoke-alarms

question, can mi home set rule for switching on a light for X minutes if the motion sensor pickup movement? thinking to include a motion sensor at the staircase area to switch on the light whenever someone is coming up or going down the stair.

Cheers.

hi guys.. if i replace my auto gate switch with a smart switch, any "scenes" that i can make to make it work like the mechanical auto gate switch ? Because auto gate switch when it is press will return back to its original position immediately...

Thank for the link, appeeciate it

Yes can, just set the turn off the light x min when no motion
