Hi guys, anyone still using SmartThings?

I'm planning to order one from amazon. Seems like it has the highest ratings and many supports from open source community.

am using it for Schlage Connect alone.

yes, smartthings is awesome, it can almost integrate all IoT devices, so far I have successfully integrated

1. z-wave devices (GoControl motion sesnors, contact sensors, dimmer, switches)
2. zigbee devices (xiaomi motion sensors, contact sensors)
3. IP camera (foscam C1 cameras)
4. Broadlink devices (RM2, blackbean, TC2) to control aircond, lights, TV, projectors, media player
5. sonoff wifi switches devices
6. Yamaha receivers
7. Amozon Echo Dot (using echosistant to voice control all smartthings devices)
8. VLC media player for voice notification

Thanks for the info. But I heard there is Z-wave frequency compatibility. How does that works?

If I buy Z-wave product (Schlage Connect) from US, my SmartThings has to be from US too?

Hi guys,

Any idea or recommended seller where to buy cheap xiaomi motion sensor and temperature sensor?

I searched taobao, so far the cheapest motion sensor would be around RM40.

Hi guys, what's the cheapest 2 button wall switch that's compatible with smartthing? The cheapest I found is Aqara ZigBee which is about 99RMB.

Planned to use it to control indoor ceiling lights.

Maybe you could just use aqara switch and tape on the wall?

There's also this one, need to flash with custom firmware for mqtt:

The aqara switch you posted above is a wireless switch. How does it communicate with the wall switch?
