QUOTE(alucard89 @ Oct 30 2017, 12:44 PM) 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 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

Do share your result once you've tested it Almost forgot, sonoff also has rf 433mhz controller. Quite cheap https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-rf-bridge-433.htmlThis post has been edited by alucard89: Oct 30 2017, 03:25 PM

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
