The local courier for TGDS is Skynet. The tracking number starting with 6000 will only have info once the parcel has reached Malaysia. Else it will show airway bill not available.

my package 2 days no update, last was sent out from 09 Aug

i think the lazada air is better, got daily movements

First time saw TGDS since this time i selected "MY" on the top left corner. I have always used consolidate shipping coz never saw this option before

It (5kg) item was shipped for a mere 26RMB!

海运 means sea shipment. I just shipped recently one 27kg item also. It took me about 25 days from date of purchase until receiving it. So, it is normal for sea shipment to have long waiting time (at least minimum 20 days) happens to me using EZBUY also. ABX must be air shipping, but looks like you are going to receive soon la like next week since it says "您的包裹预计航班到达时间" = flight not delayed?..

Patience, my friend.

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
*
oh, so its an internet device which can blast IR and RF to other appliances

local autogates are using 433MHz if not mistaken, like those on lelong

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

oh no! i just checked my remote and its 330MHz doh.gif

have you come across 433MHz remotes and receiver box suitable for autogate on taobao?

Really? I want to buy Ryzen processor only because the price is cheaper compared to here. I'm quite worrying if it cant pass through custom.

custom is the least of your worries; warranty is troublesome; you can always chat with the seller about shipping
