Hi. It looks like Aqara has launched a new hub which support Zigbee as well. Would this be a good buy to set up an 860sqft apartment?
https://www.aqara.com/us/smart_hub_m2.html Also did you guys did all the wiring yourself or get someone to do it? I am also sourcing for those 3-pin UK wall plug but it seems to be only US plug are available. |

QUOTE(sicklad77 @ Mar 22 2021, 10:06 PM) Officialy sold in malaysia for a few weeks already.. got it from ai home. Awesome zigbee device. For ur 807sqft will be more than enough. For lights, suggest to go for the d1 no neutral smart switches. Easy to install. A bit pricey but compare to those other smart switches that comes with neutral wires, u need to install a capacitor, which will make it a hassle.. I still don't get it for the difference between non-neutral and neutral smart switches, it is only to make the connection more reliable and fast? Since mine is a new home I think I can get the wireman to help install it, unless he doesn't know how. But I found out that Xiaomi design looks nicer but without ethernet: https://www.aihome.my/XIAOMI-Intelligent-Mu...?search=gateway Also can I know how does Zigbee works? Does it need to be setup so that it can communicate with each other or everything will be automated once connected to the gateway? |
