hi sifus, has anyone used phillips hue to control the LED bulbs?

I successfully flashed the custom firmware
I initially wanted to solder wires to the points on the bulb, but the solder won't stick for some reason

I followed another user to make a pogo jig
And surprisingly it works (excuse the form 3 soldering skill), wasn't sure it's gonna do the job
Should make it easy to flash firmware without soldering



For the mi home, apparently i needed the 2nd version of gateway (with fm radio feature) since i can only get the gateway passcode from that version so I could pair it with home assistant. Time to get another one

need to use flux

Walau, using contact probe?

That is at least RM7/pcs.

No cheaper way?

I ordered from aliexpress, 50 pieces for rm8
Is that like the local price here?

Didn't have flux when I was doing this lol
This pogo jig definitely save time when soldering's not required, especially if you wanna flash firmware on multiple wifi bulbs

Btw, you guys cam get the wifi bulb here

Japan price.

I use it often.

Hi,

i had the same idea of modding my auto gate and even went and bought a Xiaomi Aqara wall switch for this but ended up not working in the end as i only noticed the different voltage involved. My initial plan was to integrate this into my existing xiaomi gateway gen.2 system.

Can i know what automation network are you using together with the z-wave relay? and whether this item works with existing xiaomi network?

don't mind doing some product hacks if necessary.

Kidding

Appreciate some guide or some link to get started, don't even have autogate yet but I plan to install one
Not really sure where to start with z-wave, do I need to buy a new relay or can just do like WIS9000 proposed

I'm sure nippon quality is excellent, but these china pogo pins are working nicely too

ya, use philips hue to control philip hue led bulb lor

a reminder. the Aqara switch method doesn't work for me.
interested on the Z-wave relay + xiaomi system, if this is possible.

i know there are some development like using Raspberry Pi method runing Domotiz client or sort, but would be keen on something much simpler first if available.

First of all, it is depending on the autogate system, if the autogate system is using a relay to open/close, then you can use z-wave relay or sonoff to replace the relay.

In my case, my autogate system is using 12V relay, when you hit the switch, the NO relay is closed and sending 12V signal to open/close. if you understand how the relay works, you will know how to wire it.

Yup. It work but not quality.

Normally probe is about lifetime cycle. It usually work in how many hundred of thousand or million cycle time before got to throw it away.

Just for project or simple thing, that is ok.

But I can't use China quality.

thanks for the info Kiding. Yeah i know how the relay works.
Mind sharing with us what network are u using to control your z-wave relay? also what brand is your relay?

can it be integrated into existing xiaomi ecosystem?

I'm using smartthings, it support z-wave, zigbee, wifi, TCPIP LAN protocol.

Xiaomi use zigbee/TCPIP, it doesn't use z-wave, unless you know how to hack into xiaomi zigbee outlet, it is kinda difficult to integrate autogate system to xiaomi echosystem.

smartthings can integrate to all xiaomi devices, probably you can think about to switch to smartthings

is there a shop to buy all these smart home gadgets? Or buy online?

Hi guys,

I have my Google Home with me- and as I am going to kickstart reno and move into my new house- I am looking what else I can add to this to automate my house?

Do anyone have suggestion , and solution that's links to Google Home for Malaysia market?

get a few unit of Wemo Mini Smart Plug.easy setup.

If you plan to automate existing lights/fan at house you could consider replacing the wall switch with wifi wall switch like sonoff t1
And you'll need to have neutral cabled wired behind the wall switch since it's required for these switches

Google home skills is planned and coming soon, for the moment you can just the app or alexa.
