Hi, yeah.

I refused to continue with refund altogether.
He wanted to refund a single 1 unit out of 9, but at the same time he blamed me for not checking that my residence voltage fall between 95V-245V. He wants to nitpick that he already have the range in his description, so I also nitpick that his description had me fooled into believing the zigbee wall sockets is rated 16A but actually it printed only 13A.

Yes, my fault for only paying attention to amperage; but hey, which of us actually surveyed the (range of) voltage before buying appliances? Who would have thought the wall socket is so sensitive that itself turned off for good, while the zigbee round plugs otherwise worked happily. I have a dozen 20A zigbee round plugs that I use to force-reset key networking devices from afar and they worked over 250V without complaint.

My current house wall switch come with neutral wire. But I am moving to a condo where all wall switch don't come with neutral wire in next few months.

Is is possible I get a Aqara wall switch (no neutral) to replace my current house wall switch? As I just want to try it out, and bring it to my condo later.

Question 1 :-

I have the Daikin airconditioners that have wifi built in. The type that uses the Daikin Go app. The app brings the aircon units to Google Home and alexa.

Does anyone know how to bring them into Homekit? I have tried so many Homebridge plugins.. but non of them work for the wifi adapter that we have here in malaysia. The ones that are overseas, the wifi adapter name starts with B, and ours here starts with A, specifically the AWM61A01.

And since i dont have (and dont intend to use) home assistant due to no extra raspberry Pi available (and also HA spooks me, haha), what other methods or plugins can i use to bring these Daikin units into Homekit?
Question 2:-

I have a Vivos Alarm system. Comes with the alarm panel, network interface module to use the vivos app remotely and the several sensors and siren connected via cables.

Does anyone know if this alarm system can be linked to Google Home or Homekit? This brand vivos is a malaysian brand... their app is pretty barebones. Would be nice to be able to integrate into either google home or homekit for automations.
My Homekit setup is pretty complete.. Aqara (natively), Sony TV (natively), Do Home (natively) , Sonoff + Ewelink (via homebridge), Tuya (via homebridge), xiaomi (via homebridge) , imou + Dahua (via homebridge), samsung (via homebridge).

All thats left is my Daikin Aircons... and my Vivos alarm system.

Any idea guys?

No, my house don't have any smart switch yet. And I don't plan to pull neutral wire for the new house.
But I would like to try out smart switch now. Just wonder if I can get a no neutral aqara smart switch and install it in my current house or not.

Mean I can just don't connect the current neutral wire?
I bought an Aqara M2 hub during 3.3. And currently looking to get Aqara E1 wall switch as this is the cheapest Aqara switch I found.

yeah.. no one locally has done it yet..
Thats pretty cool that even though IR, it can still have the current status of the AC. but i think i may not have time to tinker.. life being a big part of it. Oh well..

Yeah i did stumble upon konnected, but it seems like there are two options, basically either replace the actual panel, or add a panel onto the existing panel. Ill look into it further..

thanks!

I know this sound stupid, I need to use insulating tape to insulate the neutral wire, right?

It look like this, that's why I thought it is neutral wire.

looking to convert my new house to use smart home system. can advise where can i start with ?  What brands are recommended interm of value for money and support if needed ?

i am planning to use the Aqara system

question now is for the 20A switch Tuya, can that one be connected to Aqara Hub or i need to add another zigbee hub ?

How to tell which models need 'bypass' capacitor? I am looking at Aqara E1 2 gang switch (No neutral).

FP2 seems interesting. Saw lots of reddit threads on this. Pity its wired to a wall socket. I’m considering to get a mmwave sensor much like the FP1 and FP2, but from tuya, cos i saw one thats ceiling mountable, would look much neater, like a downlight. Not sure on the performance of it though. Pretty affordable at around RM160-ish without shipping.

Pardon me ya.. do you guys have a wiring diagram and also a photo of the contactor that you (and Max) mentioned? Im curious to see how it works and looks like. Thanks

Hi guys. Any idea how to link the cassette aircond into Home Assistant and HomeKit? My cassette aircond is Acson brand, and non Wi-Fi version. If use those IR control, it will send signal to turn on and off aircond, but can’t know the status.

Wow this is so complicated 😂

You already bought this switch?Where you bought it?

Quick question.. I’m planning to not buy the Zigbee smart wall embedded sockets for fear that my box may be too congested or any fitment issues. Therefore looking at getting those zigbee smart wall plugs instead.

Question: Are all Tuya branded zigbee wall plugs zigbee extenders? I.e. they extend the mesh network of the zigbee network?

So basically if it has live & neutral right ?

Cos my non neutral light switches aren't repeaters

Ok I'll snag a couple of them to improve the mesh network to my further switches which keep dropping off
