QUOTE(Kiding @ Nov 16 2021, 06:48 PM) I'd say xiaomi/Aqara device quality is good, I have one live wire only single gang Aqara wall switch, installed 3 years ago and still running fine, other Aqara devices such as neutral and live wire switches are working for many years without failing Tuya's smart switches with neutral also no issue. Only the no neutral, no capacitor giving problem. Before Tuya was using Geeklink no neutral also no issue but it's also too expensive.I also used Broadlink swtiches, all gone within 2 years. some z-wave switches and sensor, all don't last long, the only last one brands are Xiaomi/Aqara/Sonoff The only drawback is Xiaomi/Aqara devices are getting more expensive, almost 20-30% increased over past 5 years! |

QUOTE(lisiang @ Nov 21 2021, 09:52 AM) Hi guys, I'm very new to smart home, I apologise if I offended those who think "you should read the threads". I have been trying to crawl through all the threads regarding it but does not find enough opinion of below questions: I think you didn't read hard enough, just used Tuya. No region issues whatsoever and price/product availability is number 1 for now.I am looking for local region supported (Malaysia) hub, ZigBee switches, with future proof setup in mind. Am I left with Aqara option? I have read one that is Terncy, why less people are using it? Why would one choose to connect China server with their hub? Does connecting to China server with Xiaomi hub delays the responses? I've heard from my friend, actual user says that connecting with internet speed of 500mbps will not have delay, while 100mbps has. A bit doubt of this, internet speed doesn't affect latency right? When using Xiaomi hub, Connecting to China server will automatically disable Google home, I would have to connect thru MiHome app on Android. If I would to connect Malaysia region, I will have the option right? Appreciate very much. lyt25_1234 liked this post

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Dec 1 2021, 09:30 AM) Yes, I’ve ruled out coverage because the router and raspberry pi (with zigbee coordinator) is just outside my room. Full 2.4ghz and 5ghz signal also Is your 20A Zigbee double pole?I’ve got zigbee door sensor & motion sensor in the bathroom also (where the 20a switch is installed) and detected just fine. Right next to the 20a switch is a sonoff wifi module 2 way switch and still online (this one no neutral, using capacitor type) |

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Dec 5 2021, 06:09 PM) I gave up and just reinstall back old switch + magic switcbot installed. Installed the zigbee switch for another 20a (aircon) also in same room and wifi 20a switch in another bathroom. Both still working fine and no disconnection since the past week This bloody thing still cost an arm and a leg, how much you got it for?I suspect it could be wiring but I’m just gonna stop there and stop headache over this 😬 |

QUOTE(Agathon55 @ Dec 6 2021, 02:32 PM) The Switchbot uses double-sided tape and some plastic (I think) string that you stick onto the switch itself. So the arm can press the switch to turn on and pull on it to turn off. Oic, feel it's overpriced so didn't bother looking into it. Btw, any Tuya fag using Alexa wants to be guinea pig for Smart watch with Alexa support. Currently testing one unit but like I am the guinea pig for the supplier Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE(MYLiewTY @ Jan 9 2022, 09:37 AM) I recently bought Broadlink TC2 for my light and fan. My Tuya 3 Gang has been used for fan with no issue. No neutral, no capacitor but once in a while it get disconnected from my Zigbee gateway. So it's more a product issue and nothing to do with the fan.The light is working properly but for the fan it is not turning even when the TC2 is on with light. Anyone can recommend solution for this?

QUOTE(lawrencehl @ Jan 18 2022, 02:07 PM) Hi guys, currently I'm using Daikin AC with WiFi smart control. Can I use like smart IR remote device to control as below? Those devices will do, IR have cheaper model with similar function. You can also consider adding a Temperature & Humidity sensor and regulate the aircon based on your room temperature instead of timing.10pm on 10pm-1am 23degree 1am-6am 26degree 6am off 6am on ceiling fan & bedside lamp Bedside lamp just add a smart plug on socket right? Can recommend some reliable model?or model below will do ![]() ![]() |

QUOTE(lawrencehl @ Jan 18 2022, 09:04 PM) As long I purchase all device that support tuya means I can connect all together right? Even different brands? Yes, all Tuya devices is compatible even if from different manufacturers. For me I prefer Tuya Zigbee because battery devices will last longer and also Zigbee is more responsive but you will need a Tuya Zigbee gateway. If not much devices I guess wifi is fine.Do I need a master device to connect all this? This post has been edited by adamw: Jan 18 2022, 10:26 PM lawrencehl liked this post
