this?xiaomi hub
But it mentioned up to 20 smart devices only?

Yup this one. Supposed to be 30 or 32 but I keep adding no problem. Sometimes it will tell you it’s full already but you look again it is paired 😅

You don't have to worry about losing connections too much

Hi Sifues,

I would like to try for the sonoff t1 uk 3 gang 1 switch model. But, when i open the old switch, it do not have neutral wired. But beside it, it do have aircon on\off switch.

Question : Can myself pull the neutral wired from that aircon on\off switch ?

And use the connector to split for that neutral wire , can ?

Depends on house wiring. You can just try. If it works, it works. Otherwise, it will trip the MCB. Then probably you have 3 phase with 3 separate RCD breaker. Then you need to find the N from the same phase.

true, that's why i think no mater which method you use, it would be good to have a cctv cam pointing at the gate to be safe

You mean bulbs, right?
From Yeelight box, electricity cost is about $1.20 per year if used 3hrs/day at $0.10/kWh rate.
Lifespan is 22.8 years if based on usage of 3hrs/day.

Need RGB colour and effect, and also to control by app/GH/Alexa then use Yeelight. Well, they also have white bulbs too.

Damn expensive. Yeelight don't need a hub to connect with. Much easier.

I’m using the Aqara Tunable White LED bulbs. Can off/on remotely or via automation eg: a motion/lux sensor. Can adjust colour temp and brightness. Timer off/on. I think that’s about it. Cost wise RM39 or thereabouts for a 9 or 10w bulb. Needs a hub.

I don’t use RGB Yeelights but I have the Koogeek RGB bulb. Haven’t really used it yet. Definitely a novelty but maybe I can find a good use for the colours. Doesn’t need a hub but expensive. Around RM90.

I use them with Apple HomeKit.
