Yes. Should be getting Tuya item. Do they have smart curtain n ceiling adjustable light strip?

I saw some review saying Hub with network is more stable, izit true?
Since I already bought Near Hub, I dont have to install Near apps rite? Just Tuya app will do rite?

ignore branding. i believe they are practically just white label of same hardware.

Yeap. Found one in shopee.

I'm tempted to go for these instead of typical smart light or normal light + smart switch setup. Just unsure about any major cons.... the only thing I can think of is cost and if the driver unit spoil, the whole rail will be down. Another thing is looking for a contractor who knows how to embed the rail into plaster ceiling...

Pros would be the looks of it, and the modularity when it comes to lighting type, can just swap out anytime easily

I want to connect 1 button on smart wall switch to 2 hanging lamps.

If I want it to be selectable, say, if I turn-on-off-on-off-on-on, it will then switch to both lamps or either one, what do I need?

I'm trying to avoid a situation where I need to install those hidden smart switches under the base of the lamp. Will be difficult to reset or reconnect to network if things go wrong.

Hi experts,

I'm thinking of switching out my AC starters with 20A switches + power consumption. Is that safe and we don't need the switches with neutral, right?

I'm also thinking of installing those breakers behind my current switches to check power consumption. Is that smart?

What is the best way to monitor power consumption?

Hi, i would like to instal smart home system for my condo? Any recommendation on smart home company?

bought a few MOES "16A Zigbee UK wall socket". Just got around to have it installed during recent CNY weekend and last weekend.

Strike 1 - apparently it is only in 13A, description is hoax.

Strike 2 - it only switch on briefly when initially supplied with power. it will switch off a few seconds after, never to come back again until next power recycle. (so i need to play with MCB just to see that few seconds of blip.) I put a desk lamp as load; it never lights up even when appearing switched on (briefly) through Smart Life.

Strike 3 - the Shopee seller is not responding quickly and actively over our 3 days of engagement. I think later he will even question the colour of the wire in my mock proof-of-concept to demonstrate the issue. Or, why I am not installing it in the wall.

Still struggling to have my auto gate connected 😅 so I bought this Wi-Fi relay which support HomeKit. All good when I use USB 5V. Then I tapped the 12V battery and it doesn’t work sigh.

Need help 🥲

when i started last year, there were already 2 separate apps "Tuya" and "Smart Life".
reading further, "Tuya" is meant for users in Mainland China, "Smart Life" is meant for outside Mainland China. This was told by the support personnel him/herself when I lodge complaint of not being able to log in to "Tuya".
the backend servers for each of the apps are separate.

when i wrote of the difference and mentioned that I was not allowed to login to "Tuya" because it's meant for Mainland China, some of you guys said I was confused and in the wrong.

Dont be surprised. Sometimes it happens even to the best of companies.

Even Xiaomi did this previously. When they are still new, they would let international users login to their app and let consumers import devices from China. However, once they grew big enough, they would start to block international users and then develop another app meant for global users.

I think this is what happening with Tuya right now. I did have an account with them when I first installed some smart switches in my lights. I just reinstalled it and now it is asking to select country. When I look at the list and China was missing from the list, you already see they have begun to separate China servers from the rest of the world. I couldnt log in as well and have to create a new account again. In fact, the app now looks exactly like Smartlife app apart from the Tuya logo.

just found out that Philips have a smart lock now that supports Tuya / Smartlife instead of their own Easykey app

Is there a system that could… kinda mimic the keypad perhaps?

Hi Adam, this sounds very interesting! Can share the module info/link? Would really love to study this !

No prob, but can you share the tuya module info? I’m interested in learning how it works. If it doesnt support my alarm its ok too. Just interested in learning more

Thanks for the reply and diagram adam, appreciate it. But i think you misunderstood … haha. can i know what model of tuya module your friend used? So that i can look for it, to know the input/ouput/voltage/dry contact requirements so that i can check if my alarm can support it..

really appreciate if you can share the tuya module model/info

As a matter of fact, i think it will work, as you can see my wiring diagram is pretty much the same.. Do share the tuya module model thanks!



thanks!

I see... I thought samsung doesn't have full range of smart device. Mostly appliances only

Thats what my setup is like, everything goes to HA automation scripts etc and then to HomeKit which all my family members interact with. Just even started using scrypted to get cameras to use HKSV
