Do you already have home assistant running? If you do then youre probably fine. I legit dont know what happened to mine, that was on the raspberry pi running raspbian so HA was in a docker, was still running Homebridge and my Unifi Controller. I might move everything to my windows PC and sell my PI.

Right now i have started a new HA in windows using virtual box and i have done the duck dns stuff so ill see how this goes.

I guess its better to have 1 main device always running than having my Plex server PC running for 12 hours and my PI running 24/7.

wow one pi do so many task. can handle ah? home assistant should have a dedicated pi, homebridge on another pi and unifi controller and plex on nas.

got cheaper google assistant beside google home mini?

need google de

I mean its Pi 4 with 2 or 4Gb cant remember which. Either way i have already moved homebridge and homeasistant onto my plex server pc, kinda sick of dealing with the PI.

Dont think so, well the home mini is already kinda relatively cheap no?

RM100+. seems like more expensive than other like tmall? coz wanna put few at different spot of home ma.

I bought an echo show and i have order from US 4 echo dots, by converting its cheaper but ill see what is the final figure with shipping and tax etc.

Got offer now on echo dots?

$30, cheaper than Shopee sellers. But somehow echo show was cheaper on Shopee.

which model of echo show?

Its around 100 use on Amazon, but I got it for around 360 during 9.9 sale. So far I have been using it for a couple of days, not bad. Main reason I wanted it is for viewing my gate camera, and the rest are just bonus. I have just managed to control my HomeKit devices through Alexa and Siri, using dummy switches. Will be playing with those Alexa actionable notifications once I have set up all the dummy switches for automation.

hi, taobao version works with malaysia version hub? there is more choices from taobao

Which brand camera you viewing with Show 8?

Just received Smart Light switch but then now having issue cause my old light switch panel full of live wire >.<

Using test pen and checked, so many live @__@
I wonder cause all are connected?



I wonder the green and black behind is neutral wire or not
Cause it doesnt connect to the current switch panel.
Only from top till down from the pipe in the wall.

All wires that are looping among switches are the L wire. Each of those wires from the switch into the wall/conduit goes to the light point whichever it is controlling.

For switches without N, the N wires are looping on ceiling and the L wires are looping at switch level usually.

Yea, i guess those are looping live wire from Main Live, right ?

And i just need to find those actual light switch for L1, L2, L3, L4 (which wont trigger test pen) ?

I actually saw the green and black wire behind as per picture 2.
Can i pull one out for neutral actually ? (Or i shouldnt touch)

Green wire of course Earth (normally). NO need to use unless you have metal switch plate I guess

The Black one is possible that the contractor provide the N there. That's good. I guess you can try if bulb light up when you connect with one of the L wire.

As for test pen, you need to know that several lighting points share the same MCB (usually the 6A). TNB suggest having 6 light points share one 6A MCB. Therefore, if one of the switch is ON, your test pen will light up on both L and N sides of the wires that share in the same loop. So, be careful with this fact.

Yea, there's one thick black behind actually.
But i think i need to consult some electrician probably.
Jangan main main later cut wrong and pull wrong

Hmm, but yesterday when i am testing, all switch are actually OFF.
That's why confusing me why certain point still has live light.

Man, old switch panel kinda messy i guess..

In a way, all same color is not wrong. Look at the diagram below:



From Phase (or L), the Red wire is looping to each switch. After the switches, each Red wire goes to a bulb. These Red wires (between the switches and the bulbs) is not really L or N, right? Well, in your case, this is the reasons all the wires are Red.

If one of the switch is ON (say Light 1), the test pen you touch on N wire at Light 2 and Light 3 socket will light up since the N is looping to Light 1 as well.

Well, get as electrician if you are not familiar with house electrical wiring.

Now u mention, yes, there is few gang light up two bulbs actually.
