I think in Malaysia just general monitoring devices sold, not the the extend of individual appliances.

The best you can purchase with much cheaper price would be Emporia Vue. Comparison here

Why have to go through Homekit whatever if one can be operated through WiFi for example and have all the control you probably need even if independent apps? say something like this:

People use silicone whatever but the main problem is it cannot last sonce not designed for outdoor. Material will degrade fast.

There are motion sensor designed for outdoor use. The one design for indoor may cause false alarm a lot. The sensor can be blind to to sunshine and outdoor wide temp range, unlike indoor.

This German product is designed for outdoor

There are model for wall mount as well. However, this works on AC supply and once detect motion, it will switch on light or whatever the dry contact relay is connected to.

So, you can make it trigger a zigbee smart switch to integrate the outdoor sensor into your zigbee network. Maybe something like this switch

Use the load on the motion sensor to trigger a dry contact relay which will act as a switch to the zigbee module here.

This is what I can think of one possible solution.

That's an example. If there is any zigbee module that is controlled by dry contact relay, then it can be used. The idea is just to integrate the outdoor movement detector into your zigbee network.

Fast roaming is using 802.11r protocol so that you can roam fast between node by pre-authenticate before switching node. In this case your camera is not roaming.

I saw this in TP-Link website. Read blue one.

Note: 802.11k/v/r take effect only for wireless clients that support 802.11k/v/r as well.
If clients don’t support 802.11k/v, they won’t respond to 802.11k probe request so Deco will not guide them to roam and roaming can only be initiated by clients themselves. In this situation, clients may stick to the previous Deco.

If clients don’t support 802.11r, they may fail to connect to Deco. When the Fast Roaming feature is enabled in the Deco app, the wireless Beacon frames broadcast by Deco will carry 802.11r related information. Some clients can’t recognize this information and drop this Beacon frame, leading to connection failure.

I guess the camera firmware need to be upgraded to recognize the roaming beacon. Otherwise, you just need to turn off fast roaming

This is not the router problem but the mesh fast roaming network protocol not supported by your device.

Nope. I don't think so. Nowadays, embedded WiFi module is popular since it reduce development time since it contains micro controller. This normally can be programmed during production time. Otherwise how to sell old stock not being able to upgrade. The problem would be whether the manufacturer bother to release update firmware Protocol is not something stoned on chip based on my experience.

If you talk about IoT, then it is different thing. There is no unified platform. Everyone is implementing their own and there are interoperability issues.

To process cross platform data require processing power which maybe the limit on low end processor.

XiaoMi share keep falling and since it business model is based on price performance ratio which may no longer viable. They are shifting to IoT as well and join big player to focus on interoperability especially China's companies.

Many articles by Western media talk about why Xiaomi product hi spec but lower price. How was that possible.

Lock also got class for different purpose. It give the level of security. Not only about price here.

Found this. Look good. Try to browse comment. Not sure for which door type you were looking for

Forget about it

This one can?

At that price not expensive I'd say.

Convenient since you can open your front door to let thief enter instead of breaking the door which will add up more to your loss.

Recommended by adamw in Post #8605 to have BLE (BlueTooth Low Energy) since the battery can last longer line a year or so, bUt you need to invest on BlueTooth gateway to integrate with home WiFi.

I see what you mean ...

If it is possible for you to wire like this, then can use WiFi module like this with existing conventional switch.



Plenty of WiFi module like this which can be install behind your switch as well if got space.

What the 20A switch switches? TO cut power to the light switch there?

Then it is good since you have access to N if required

The blown LED driver should have not kill the switch, unless the switch is easily damaged by spike in power. I also don't see any reason for incompatibility with motion sensor either analog or digital

The capacitor is just to let more current flow to ensure operation of the switch circuitry in OFF condition. Low power LED light let too little current leak in off condition to maintain operational of the switch, thus why the capacitor is required.

At this moment I don't see either the reason the N type will last longer also.
