Other oem just use same tuya chipset, just stick to the ones you like, probably the build quality or just design

How to know quality if don't buy & test? I am still looking for the elusive Zigbee no neutral no capacitor Tuya Smart switch that is stable after 2years+

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

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!
*
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.

Hello all sifu! I want to start my smart home journey and I plan to start small by changing the wall switches.

I am planning to get this 3 gang switches for my LED track lights and ceiling fan.

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/moes-off...9925199575.html

Is it okay?

Lucky I didn't buy their sample, price is higher than Lazada. Update us how it is after a few months.

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 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.

I think you didn't read hard enough, just used Tuya. No region issues whatsoever and price/product availability is number 1 for now.

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

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)

Is your 20A Zigbee double pole?

If you have a multimeter measured both the N using contiunuity test. If link means single pole.

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

I suspect it could be wiring but I’m just gonna stop there and stop headache over this 😬

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 hmm.gif . I bought 2 so who wants to be 2nd giunea pig can contact me.

I recently bought Broadlink TC2 for my light and 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?
*
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.

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.

Yes, it's actual room temperature. If my aircond set to 27 my actual room can be lower like 25. Here is an example. I switch on at 1pm just now.

Hello expert, I have the following Tuya 4-gang power extension for months and now I started to feel tired every time I have to On/Off through app.

Is there any button kind of remote control I can link to On/Off the individual switch?

https://shopee.com.my/WIFI-Power-Strip-13A-...df-59dffb4097d2
Something like this Aqara switch

Have not seen any wifi but zigbee 4 gang is available for Tuya
Scene switch

As long I purchase all device that support tuya means I can connect all together right? Even different brands?

Do I need a master device to connect all this?
*
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.

Wonder if it can read out the temp and humidity, the Broadlink one is able to, but the smart life ones so far none able to

My Tuya Zigbee Temperature & Humidity sensor can read out the temperature via Alexa but not humidity level though.
