i was planning to buy aqara wall switch for auto gate, luckily i read your post first.
anyway i use the combination of xiaomi, wink hub and philips hue at home.

googling about home assistant, will try to configure it this weekend since i have raspberry pi 2 laying around without any usage.

i haven't do anything yet with home assistant, just googling around,
but in terms of hardware i think i have everything to start working on it.

My smarthome integration with google assistant/home is almost complete, managed to get auto gate to work by voice command to google assistant.
I use broadlink universal pro remote which support 433mhz and integrate it with home assistant, from home assistant integrate with google using google actions.
For automation logic like auto on aircond when room is ho and occupied i use mi home ecosystem. It’s cheap and reliable. I heard very soon they will integrate mi home with alexa and google home. Yeelights already support all those things.

For wall switch I recommend xiaomi aqara wall switch if you already have mi gateway, the quality is good and right now the price in gearbest almost half the price buying from local seller

It communicate with gateway using zigbee

Have u look in ebay? After shipping cost around rm300, i just buy normal google home from 11street this morning, rm550++ afte coupon discount, more or less the same buy in ebay or maybe cheaper, the seller from singapore though

http://forum.yeelight.com/t/finally-mihome...ore-server/2470

yeelight staffs are very responsive. kudos to them.

based on them all xiaomi servers outside of china will support google home, alexa and IFTTT soon.
china server will support xiaomi own voice
some users who are installed pre release version of mi home app already reported they can see mi gateway is on the list of device we can add for singapore server but it's not working yet.

if most of xiaomi devices are supported by google home, home assistant is not really useful for me now, for automation logic i can just use mi home app since i mostly use mi home ecosystem at home, for door lock most likely i will buy august smart lock, amazon can ship to malaysia.
for those devices supported by google home like switch, light, remote etc, can setup command in google home.

buy from ebay is cheaper or wait for black friday
if RM400, top up a little bit + coupon discount you can buy normal google home already.
mine received today, i bought at 11stret for RM550++ after coupon discount.

if you have android or iphone can use google assistant to pair and do voice command accordingly.
you should buy yeelights for much cheaper option and does not require hub.
philips hue app is very slow and outdated.

yeelights support both alexa and google home/assistant as long as you connect the lights using singapore server.

lucky you

before i install mesh wifi at home, yeelights still connecting well
so i guess no issue unless your house is super big.
my house is double storey terrace house.

no worries buying from ebay, even if it is scam, you will always get your refund.

lelong or 11street all sell yeelights
not much on lazada though

yes, but if you want to integrate with alexa or google home/assistant make sure you connect to singapore server

yes there are 2 versions, colour and white one.
price wise, white one should be around RM50 or below, the colour one around RM70??

mesh is fine but could not connect directly for unifi, i still use my nighthawk as bridge and the mesh act as access point only
if you use time no problem.
i actually use only 2 at home and another one i put in my airbnb apartment which connect directly with time.
coverage is much better even with only 2.

for double storey house, i think 2 unit is enough, 3 is overkill.

using routine in google home app you can customize the command voice

the best solution is buy homekit compatible hub, it will integrate with HA without any issues.
