Wow that Aqara switch so cool tho. Will get it soon

Hye. Im new in doing smart home.

Just look around there is smart switch which like broadlink and sonoff. But sonoff need neutral cable.

So what is the suitable switch to use? Plan to pair with google home. Tqvm

Got neutral? Then use Sonoff
No neutral? Get Broadlink or Xiaomi
Wanna pair with GH? Use Broadlink then because Xiaomi no support for GH

Hello all!

Aqara wall switches...can fit in 2,5mm2 wire ar?

The holes so big.

i take it as a yes hahaha
headache la trying to find the neutral version, everyone selling the non-neutral ones

11street got the neutral versions. They are always cheaper than the non-neutral ones. Less circuitry I guess. Lazada and Shopee too I think.

okies, thanks a lot
gonna start procuring my switches, yeelights and ms16 fans
wish me luck for wiring

does anyone have the aqara 2-gang wall switches (non-neutral) paired directly with a samsung smartthings hub? I'm going to try this soon (when my wall switch comes in) but just wondering if anyone has had any success with it.

I got both types of Aqara 2-gan wall switches (neutral and non neutral), all working fine with Smartthings, but you may need to modify the smartthings device type handle code a bit to make the second gang work.

Merry Christmas to all in the Smart Home Community!!!

Bought some Sonoff Basics on 12.12 and it is the new version.

Some changes are the solder track for the mains voltage live and neutral was replaced by two wires.
They also added a fuse and the chip has changed from ESP8266 to ESP8285



The new version has the marking of 'Sonoff RF R2 Power V1.0" on the board



For flashing Tasmota on the board, it is using the same process.
Just that there are only four holes at the center of the board instead of five
The GPIO04 hole was replace by a solder pad which is now GPIO02
You must flash using Tasmota 6.4.1 if u want to use this GPIO02



For further info, can refer to this Tasmota Sonoff Basic link under New Board Layout.
And I got to know this via one of Dr Zzs stream on Youtube starting on 18.00 minutes

Want to ask sifu here.....
which model of smart switch suitable to replace Autogate doorbell type switch?
Basically the switch or app need to close a normally open circuit for a very short time then open back automatically when the switch or app is pressed once.

Any1 here heard of MAEVI brand?
Is it good?

Heard and discussed about it before but dunno good or not. Just know it’s expensive.

Only the aircon controller and power monitoring thingy interest me. The rest not really useful.

not really what i am looking for.........but the term inching is helpful.

I think it is what you looking for. Don't get confused with inching term used. It is actually like momentary push button switch if not mistaken. I believe this is what you need. It will perform like door bell or gate switch

Tell us how you want to use this switch you are looking for then maybe we can understand a bit better. The momentary part we understand.
I thought autogate already have their own remotes? Q

yes. the gate is connected to a doorbell switch on the indoor side to control the sliding gate.
but the doorbell switch runs on 240 AC.
ideally a single gang smart doorbell switch will be nice.
