Hi,
I am a newbie to this smarthome forum which I have learnt a lot.

Recently I bought from lelong:
1. Xiaomi Smart Home Automation Security Mijia 5 in 1 Kit (RM305):
- Multifunctional gateway remote control;
- Window door sensor;
- Smart wireless switch;
- Human body sensor;

- Smart outlet;

2. Yeelight LED strip (RM135)

3. Yeelight Smart LED Ceiling Light (RM299)
4. 5 pcs of Sonoff (RM186)

I have lab set-up & bought-off all except the Sonoff.

I am still exploring ...

May be can consider Sensibo Sky?

Go to lelong and search Mijia 5 in 1.

Disclaimer: I am not the seller

I like the idea of using universal power socket outlet.
Thanks.

Have you consider Xiaomi Yeelight Bedside Lamp with 365 Different Colorful Nights?

Really?
Mine is still in the box after some quick functional tests last weekend.
I will try to check tonite or tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing.

My complaint:
Yeelight strip is only 2m long. Not long enough to put along the staircase floor trim or along the balcony railing.
Need to think of another longer LED strip solution with smart plug ... may be.

Yup, expensive RM500-600.
Some LY forumer sell RM400 for 2nd hand item.

Wow ... Xiaomi Aircon Companion is new to me.
Is it smart enough to be able to change the temp setting & play with other mode settings?
How does the gadget control the aircond with IR?

I will research more tonite.

From Amazon on the product description:

https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Xiaomi-Mijia...m/dp/B075C515PC

It seems that the device can work as standalone (alert via 80dB sound alarm) as well as synchronize with the Xiaomi Gateway (additional remote alert on your phone).

Interesting.
Shopee sells for RM98.80 ... slightly expensive.

The app was auto-updated 3 days ago in my phone. Was surprised with the new layout appearance when I first saw it.
Encountered at least 2 times of incidences where the system hanged and claimed itself offline :-(
After reseting (off & on) the hard switch of the lights, the problem solved.
Seems that this updated version is not as good as the previous version ... somehow, contrary to one of the stated reason for the upgrade.

Oh my ... I only tested my Xiaomi Mijia 5 in 1 Kit & Yeelight LED strip months back, it works well and then packed back into the box ... plan to fix them for my new home (still under construction) later, may be in Dec18 :-)

For my current home, I am using 5 Sonoff basic and 1 Yeelight Ceiling light.
It served my family simple needs ... able to control the "key strategic" lights with some schedules (replacing all the Selcon photocells) as well as able to control remotely by phones (both mine & my wife's phones) when we are away from home.
So far, I found that EweLink app connected faster compared to Yeelight app when I opened both apps together, at the same time.

I also managed to coach my electrician about simple Smarthome, affordable Sonoff and capability of Yeelight Ceiling light (which is new to him) so that he can now "cari makan" better with more value add offering to his customers :-)
He was very excited with these new knowledge.

For my new home, I am thinking of using Sonoff Touch Wall Switches due to my pleasant experiences with current Sonoff basic product.
Of course, few Yeelight Ceiling Lights due to able to set different colors ranging from 2700k to 6500k, besides its nice appearance.

Good you share your experiences.
Now I can discount out this product.
Have you tried Aqara Curtain Motor? You are a fan of Aqara product 😅.

So far my 5 Sonoff and 1 Yeelight Ceiling Light are quite stable and doing the intended functions well.

App is 3.5.1
Device ... how do you see? I forgot where to find the device info :-)

I intend to buy Broadlink E-Pro (RM189) to play around with my various aircond, fan and tv remote controls.
Any pitfalls, success stories or experiences that some of you can share with me?
Thanks.

I only get below screen 👇.
Only one line of device name.

Woke up at 4am and ✨ ping ... I think I know the answer why.
Upon checking, my hypothesis is confirmed 😅.

I used my wife’s Android as the primary device to connect to Sonoff during installation as I struggled to connect to Sonoff with my iPhone 8 Plus 📱. Then I shared the eWeLink app connectivity from my wife’s phone with my phone. My phone is kind of a secondary device. That’s why I can’t see the whole device revision and some other primary settings 👇.

Maybe it is better for me to avoid updating my wife app’s version every now & then 😅 since everything with Sonoff in my house are working fine and as intended.

Anyone has experience with Alpha1080X Solar Street Light Genaration 2 and can share with me for my guidance?
Thinking of putting one or two in front of my balcony (height 13') open area 30'x60'.

Thanks.

Sonoff basic as wifi switch is good enough to control strategic house lightings and fans.

On last Friday, while buying fans at local electrical shop, I shared about Sonoff and Yeelight Ceiling Light with the shopowner and his young son.
They were shocked when I told them that I can get Yeelight Ceiling light at the same price of their normal Circular housing shape led light with is not a smart light at all.

I asked them to research more and consider selling these products on top of the current products line-up.

Digital Lock SGDL-MG350MB ... however quite pricey.
