Hello, currently i planing smart home for my near complete house.. i plan to get 小米小爱同学 so probably i will go to xiaomi/aqara path.. my question is i search around i only found those smart switch are china plug... is there any smart switch(type-G/3pin) which can control by xiaomi app?

Xiaomi stuff can control using siri? me and my wife are using ios that would be great.. can i only control xiaomi stuff(including all those led bed lamp, curtain bind etc) with siri itself without 小米小爱同学? Does the xiaomi you mentioned including aqara product??

List i want to do,
1) smart switch for lighting/fans
2) smart plug for some elctronics
3) smart switch/plug for air con
4) motion sensor lights on walk path
5) curtain bind

can all those my wish list to be done with only single smart home assistant?

can tuya link together with xiaomi assistant? mind share which brand of 3 pin smart plug you using??

xiaomi voice assistant..

Ahh thanks.. mean for now i cant only use 1 home assistant to control all my things.. quite troublesome dont have uk plug that work with mi home app... using those plug converter with xiaomi smart plug good idea?

dont have finally list yet.. was thinking for aircon and some lightning in glass cupboard...

Ahh this a great idea.. i never come across this product.. will go look into this.. thank you!!

Hi all, i spent 1 whole week read back 70 pages and got some idea on making home smart.
Can sifu here give some comment on my ideas to see if is workable or not.
My new house will go thru renovation 2 months later and i will pull neutral line to all the switches.

Living Room
1)gateway
2)aqara 2 gang with neutral x2 (living downlight, dining downlight, balcony, walk way)
3)door sensor on balcony door
4)xiaomi air purifier 2s (automatic turn on when close balcony door)
5)yeelight lightstrip on L box
6)IR remote/xiaomi aircon companion (pls see question below)

Master bedroom
1)aqara 2 gang with neutral x1 (downlight, another gang spare)
2)yeelight bedlamp
3)xiaomi wireless switch (close all light from the house, and dim yeelight bedlamp)
4)IR remote/xiaomi aircon companion (pls see question below)
5)door sensor (door open after 7pm will turn on the walkway light)
6)bathroom - yeelight smartbulb + motion sensor

bedroom 2 & bedroom 3
1)aqara 2 gang with neutral x1 (downlight, another gang spare)

common bathroom
1)yeelight smartbulb + motion sensor

kitchen
1)yeelight smartbulb + motion sensor
2)smoke detector

Main door
1)loock classic 2s (open living room light after 7pm, deactivate security and xiaomi cam)
2)xiaomi cam
3)xiaomi wireless switch (close all light from the house, activate security and xiaomi cam)
4)door porch yeelight bulb (open from 7pm to 7am)

Questions
1)eyeing on aqara gateway. Reason for choosing aqara want to try homekit, hey siri to switch off light. I saw @idoblu said that aqara gateway might not support everything available in mi home app. Is this still true for now? Can aqara gateway support all those device i would like to use above?

2)IR remote/xiaomi aircon companion i am very confused bout this 2 item. The more i ask the seller the more i confused. Which 1 should i get? From the info i get from taobao seller, the IR remote are not able to set specific timing to switch on/off for IOS user. Only the aircon companion able to do that. If i get the aircon companion, can the aircon companion learn the IR signal of my fan?
Things i want to do
a)automatic switch off aircon on 3am and switch on the fan
b)able to remotely switch on the aircon before i reach home


3)Anyone in here fix any loock smart lock before? Reason of choose this instead of mijia smart lock because this have auto lock feature.

Thanks in advanced all sifu!!

2. mean IR remote totally cannot switch on/off the aircon? Ya i could use the timer for aircon to turn off.. but in order to remotely turn on the aircon before i reach home, i think no choice i have to get aircon companion.. thanks for helping me test out!! The AC companion needs a different power socket can this plug in to universal socket?

3. yes the new model classic 2s can. if you can read chinese


or this youtube

thanks for the head up! i think i proceed with ir remote 1st..hopefully could do what i need... if anyone else have any idea pls share...

yup i saw this seller too.. but unlisted.. not sure still selling or not...


hi i plan to get those from taobao.. my friend is in china.. he can help me to check all before ship to me... you can also get from lazada, shopee local seller with slightly expensive price..

can i know why u consider touch series? touch series not compatible with mijia..

yea.. 1 tips for you, touch series dont use actual C grade mortise lock.. classic 2s yes..

if you want to have zigbee version of smart lock.. looks at aqara s2 or s2 pro.. zigbee enabled and use actual C grade mortise lock...

any mijia philips zhirui or yeelight downlight user here?? btw what the size of the downlight? just got the info for hole opening 70-80mm

bright enough compare to normal philips 4 inch downlight??

why you will need UK plug gateway? you can use adapter or change your house plug to international plug..

i have 1 new aqara gateway extra. I got it extra when planing tot i would need to gateway in the house.. pm me if u need it..let go at real low price..

china server will have more alot more devices you able to add for home compare to malaysia server.

i just renovated my house early this year and so far i got 40+ devices from xiaomi in my mi home apps.

for those automation u set in mi home app will not have any lagging no matter you on malaysia server or china server cause it run locally within ur hub.

the laggy part is you wish to control/monitor thru mi home apps. it just need some delay when the apps is starting, after it load properly then no more laggy.

1. CCTV im using dafang and xiaofang
2. aqara switches can.. both old model and d1 model
3. im using aqara hub because of homekit.. never really use the alarm feature
5. i using loock classic 2s, more feature compare to n100 such as auto lock when close door
6. motion sensor suggest u get aqara cause come with light intensity sensor and the holder.. for door and window sensor just get xiaomi, work the same but cheaper.

usually for motorised curtains will have it own rail.. you cant use ur old rail and fit in the motor..
im using aqara curtains, when i buy the rail, the shop have aqara rail/xiaomi b1 rail etc..

oh.. you will just need to tell the shop ur wall to wall measurement.. they will handle it for u...

the circle place is where u connect ur motor

hello HA sifu here, currently im using xiaomi/homekit to control my smart devices, all connected to china region.. but i have 1 roborock s6 max that is global version..

my question is will HA integrate devices from different region and able to automate them?

thanks! go thru the forum... looks like it wont work for s6 maxv for now...

hello, have you try automation from mihome app before? If yes could you share the delay different?

Currently i using aqara hub connect to china mainland, i have one automation to switch off 5 x D1 3 gang and 4 x 2 gang, off air purifier those.. i use a wireless switch to trigger this automation. Usually when i press the wireless switch it would need like 3-5 seconds before the automation start and required 30 seconds- 1 min for the whole automation to complete.


i wondering am i setting the automation wrongly causing the delay, or it was meant to be for home->mi server->home.

Not sure if you have something similar running with rpi with hassio, if yes could you share the time delay?

no choice.. i got plenty of devices only available on china region.

wow < 1 second is really nice.. 1 second to trigger the automation or the whole process?

actually i been looking hassio documentation, i do have quite numbers of devices that doesnt not support by hassio which is why i still stuck with mihome.
1) aqara gateway
2) loock smart lock (bt)
