I used to have the yale, but after 2 out of 3 locks already face problems (unresponsive keypad/unable to control remotely with z-wave). I just gave up on that brand and look at others 😑

Bro, you got the ir transmitter working based on the schematics? Ir receiver works fine but can’t seem to send with ir transmitter, nothing shows up in tasmota logs

Nice, even better then broadlink with the lcd display and extra sensors

That might explain it
lyt25_1234 are you using unifi as well?

I’ve decided to take the plunge to transplant some of my remaining wifi tuya devices that are not using esp chips for tasmota. Mainly because 1 or 2 of my tuya switch sometimes not responsive on localtuya and some ewelink bulbs (also not esp 😑)

Using heat guns and solder paste, was worried about brick the board. So far so good just don’t heat too long when desoldering it

On my pocofon running custom pixel rom, i can just straight away give command.
What’s your phone model?

Can try this.?

If you train to use your voice, should only detect commands coming from you.

Ordered this 6 gang switch from moes to finally replace my 5 gang (2 units) at home.



There’s also this korean brand that offers button switches (based on the pictures) but they’re like 3x more expensive

Anyone got their hands on the Aqara FP1 yet?
Seems to be the best solution for actual human presence so far

Yeah, you should have him all pull the neutral wire behind the switches. That way the zigbee wall switches act as router as well, same thing goes for zigbee bulbs and some power plugs.

I just mix and match with tuya, sonoff, xiaomi since i use homeassistant to link them all

1) sensors I’ve been using xiaomi ones since i started and it just works
2) xiaomi cctv is ok lah, but a bit restricted. Browse other brands like foscam, hikvision, reolink where they provide much more controls/configuration for their ipcams
3) i only had 1 yeelight i bought a few years back, got tuya bulbs now at cheaper price and works just the same
6) get the ones using lidar for better mapping out your house and can clean anytime even in the dark
8) depends on your door lock type, tuya comes with lots of variation at affordable prices. But I’m holding out until their locks have proper integration in homeassistant.
As cryheart mentioned about xiaomi locks possibly getting hacked, instead of pairing to xiaomi hub you could just pair to your own zigbee coordinator instead.

There was ewelink server outage just last month affecting europe region. Might wanna consider making full local control of your smart devices with homeassistant

As for xiaomi/aqara ecosystem, got their homekit integration which tuya/ewelink don’t directly provide without some workaround (homebridge)

Well, that’s unacceptable for home security.
Which model was it?

I’ve setup on pc, and raspberry pi
Rpi 4 is now limited stock it seems, actually got my 8gb rpi4 from carousell for like 240 which was really good deal last year

If you wanna just try it first, you can just reuse your old laptop/pc before you migrate

Only reason i use pc because some apps like face recognition (deepstack/compreface) needs x86 machines & using google coral m.2 pcie module (for frigate cctv).
Last year the google coral usb is mostly out of stock.
Even worse this year, the pcie, usb coral all takde

My priority was just getting frigate nvr to work without impacting cpu much since all the ai object detection is done locally with the coral edge tpu. Also, less false detection

The facial recognition is just something I’m messing around. If you point camera outdoor you can get alerts of exactly who is outside once it’s trained

LTT did a video using frigate last year, his device is overkill though (a few dozens edge tpu in 1 card)


Zigbee device -> zigbee coordinator > homeassistant
Wifi device -> cloud -> homeassistant

Some don’t like this reliance if the cloud goes down, like what happened to ewelink euro servers just dec last year.
Also, might impact your router if you have more devices connected.
There’s sonoff & tuya integration for respective devices

If you wanna go full local with wifi devices, can flash custom firmware like tasmota (requires esp chip). There’s also some challenge with that recently

1) if device is not using esp chip - what to do?
a) find matching esp chip (esp12s)
b) desolder onboard chip
c) transplant esp


Basically less headache with zigbee devices if you plan to a do fully local setup

Normally they don’t have

You can get the moes switches that don’t require neutral or capacitor
Yes, can

Got price hike also right?
Also, anyone here tried using radar sensor (RCWL-0516) for room occupancy?

Good for static detection?
Like if the kids sitting down on the floor tv or lie down? Does it still detect anything when that happens

I see, so the solution would be to add longer time delay at least before turning off the lights
Is it the same radar sensor i listed?
I’m looking into some non invasive presence detection
Like the thermal camera, maybe not enough cover wide room
Even with ai on frigate, still needs some movement to trigger detection

Anyone tried the wifi tmall genie led bulb?
Can check inside and see what chip is on the board if can flash tasmota or need to transplant.
The price is quite cheap

I don’t think you should look into specific brand much since I’ve seen people shared premium brand ones like Shelly can still get burned or damaged (depend on usage i guess)

I’ve got some random china brand rf switch that still works since 5 years ago

You should look for the ones that’s just easy to install
I have a few non neutral/no capacitor switches from teekar/moes. i don’t have to climb up the ceiling to install the capacitor or loop neutral wires.
