Yes, it's in english
It's probably the cheapest home automation hardware out there
Can use with alexa/google home for voice command
Flashing custom firmware is not really necessary unless you're running homeassistant/openhab
The app itself is simple to use

thanks again notworthy.gif

btw, is there a way to open our auto gates remotely; like when we're not home, but want to open/close the gate for the courier since already can see them on cctv

Probably a bit out of topic by now haha
Buy broadlink rm pro that's got ir & rf
Get it to learn your autogate remote keys for opening/closing gate.
You could pm me how your autogate work since I don't have one installed yet

If yours is 433mhz then it should be able to learn that autogate open/close signal

Try getting one from taobao, definetly cheaper than local price.

Do share your result once you've tested it

Almost forgot, sonoff also has rf 433mhz controller.
Quite cheap

A dummy question here: if I place 2 separate orders on the same day and ship using direct shipping, will I get 2 parcels or consolidated into one larger perceived in central warehouse?

Two separate orders as in you made the payment separately right? Then it will be in 2 different parcels. Direct shipping won't consolidate it into one larger parcel

Check the estimated shipping first, if too expensive you might as well use ezbuy prime (rm8 shipping regardless of weight)

Curious about this, does this apply for virtual items too or as long as it's more than 400yuan?
