Each string will retract each other right when you open/close the blinds?

I’ll test that out later if it still works to turn back on after disconnect from wifi/tuya cloud. Not sure if the automation is saved into the firmware like tasmota or relies solely on cloud.

I’m aware of that
On esphome/tasmota you can still put some rules/automation that would still run independently.
I think better option is zigbee plug, even wifi is off the zigbee network still up and continue to run automation

Not quite sure for tuya hubs, but for local setup with HA they still work as usual

No, it’ll work just fine. Just required for the switch to boot up.

What’s that relay module you have behind the switch? And what’s that yellow cable?
Maybe better if there’s some diagram how you originally wired that relay to your switch

Ok, that clears it up
Assuming the other 2 blue cables loops the live wire to somewhere else, then yeah you’ll need to squeeze with 1st one.
What’s the existing smart home system you’re using now?

Definitely get a terminal block for the cables like Oltromen Ripot mentioned
Just had a look at their product line, and woah you’ve got a z-wave device there. You could add that to homeassistant to reuse any z-wave device you have but you’ll need a z-wave usb stick for msia region.

So far only spotted 6 gang sold by korean smart home maker

https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Shin-A-Systems_SBM-300-ZB6.html

If you need to 6 gang setup without adding another switch, could use something like this 3gang wifi module and squeeze 2 behind the switch

Better upgrade quad core at least, on dual core with frigate it's gonna spike that cpu even with coral

Got these 3 pcs 'defect' tuya bulb for rm20 a few months back on shopee.

Seems to be internal power supply issue that caused the bulb to restart and blink for 1 sec but doesn't happen too often.

Put it back in storage when I realise can't flash it without destroying the bulb (the whole pcb is encased in silicon). Need to carve out the whole thing if need to access the pcb

Anyway I used cloudcutter that allows flashing firmware via ota.
Good thing there's an esphome port for tuya chip now, so at least no more blinking bulbs if accidentally reset like on stock tuya firmware.

Got shinobi, motioneye
Won’t use as much resource like frigate does

Interesting, what about manually learning the ac remote commands? Still can use to control ac?

Not support yet for Tuya locks
There's a workaround for TTLock (with hub) since some Tuya lock uses that app
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/ttloc...-with-ha/211244

And using zemismart homekit hub + tuya zigbee lock + homeassistant homekit integration

Latest attempt by using tuya local HACS integration (not localtuya) but the wifi lock (just wifi no hubs) isn't suitable since the device only wakes up when keypad is entered and you can't really unlock it directly from app like zigbee.
https://github.com/make-all/tuya-local/issues/162

You could try asking on that github if can support bt lock

Btw, your tuya hub is just bt hub?

No official bt integration yet
But some method cloud based like detecting alexa devices & from tuya iot page

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/integ...-to-ha/443495/5

Can’t say for sure if this also works with locks.
Can you still unlock using alexa/google assistant?

For the bt lock, can still unlock directly from tuya app right?
No need unlock request by physically pressing keypad first

Yeah, need to dig deeper or just print those 10mm spacer from thingverse

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2797173/files

If you dun have 3d printer, just use any 3d printing service at shopee. Adjust the thickness you need or just have them modify it before printing
Should be around rm2/piece

For the 4 gang i installed, depends on the wire thickness behind it, i got the 5mm - 10mm ones

Worth getting nspanel? Or just re-use old android tablet

For house renovation -
1) Pull neutral wire to existing switches & new switches
2) Extend ethernet cable to all areas that you might wanna install poe ip camera or just add router for mesh wifi
3) Maybe add some extra neutral/cable for later use like you need to make diy sensors that’s directly wired
4) Smart glass? I see some post a few months about adding smart film to glass windows that goes full visible when the relay’s on
5) Maybe plan to dig some extra holes on the ceiling? Seen some ideas by other people that mount smart speakers up top. There’s also tuya radar presence sensor in the form of downlight.

Tuya already has google skills integration, since you’re on android it’s google assistant by default.
Can just call google anytime even when phone locked

Wall socket yes got, but it’s the wall switches that don’t have neutral wire. If got wall socket next to wall switches can just loop the neutral from there

- smart curtain either get the smart railing one or just the robot curtain. Depends on which one more silent when opening/closing
- definitely radar sensor for your bathroom. Especially if you have a bathtub or just spend longer than usual sitting on the toilet seat
- for aircon, check this list here.

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/midea...acturers/320784

You can connect a cheap iot dongle that allows you to control ac/get actual status like temp etc. Sure you can just use ir control but that’s still just 1 way communication
- smart lock get the zigbee type. I don’t think can do much automation for the wifi version (without hub)
- also have a look at homeassistant, this allows to pair smart device from any brand. Good thing matter is officially rolled out now but slowly. Better to start with tuya anyway since they cover pretty much all smart device out there
