IR remote difficult, since got 2 fans in living/dining area. Both fans will be on and off at the same time, got 1 xiao ai IR smart speaker, I can use it to control aircond but it will turn on/off both aircond at the same time.

So looking at smart switch instead.

TV got chromecast.

Oh yeah I forgot my robot vacuum.

Lampu I pakai Yeelight, and Smart Switch for Bed I pakai Mi Smart Switch. The one for candle warmer I pakai Tuya.

For automation I pakai Xiaomi Home, esp yang involved movement sensor or time based.
For IR Box related device I guna Smart Home.
For Samsung Aircond, Washer and TV naturally Samsung Smart Devices app.

All linked to Google Home for voice command. And yes I have a Greek Gods theme going with the device names lol.

Yeah if your fans are using same remote frequencies it cant be helped la.

i just use simple word; "honey!"

to my gf..

Phillips Hub -> Google Home
Everything else -> Google Home

Can sync Spotify with the led lights as well

Very wow Google Home

It depends on how many device and how complex you want it to be.. If want it simple, get a hub eg tunya, zigbee..

But if you want more compatibility, more integrations and no need to go back to the same brand.. Home assistant.

However home assistant will require self setting up and configurations.

Can home assistant link to Alexa/Google Home voice assistant or its own voice assistant?

Yes, basically its open for any integrations that's why its the best

Anyone knows why my Xiaomi Roidmi Eve Plus Vaccum bot works well in Xiaomi App, but it wont show in Google Home even after I linked both. Other devices in Xiaomi App all show in Google Home and working perfectly.

Hi all, just wana ask. Anyone bought google nest? Are you able to make and receive calls on google duo on the nest?

I want to buy a device that can be a home assistant and at the same time be used by my kids and helper to contact us in case of emergency.

We cant give the phone to the helper as they are not supposed to use phones during work and also the kids do not know how to make calls on the phone.
