background:
to renovate my 1st house (small condo)

idea:
to have smart home at low cost, dont want pay to "smart home vendor/contractor" to charge me additionally to reno company.
plan to purchase all smart home needed devices myself, then pay to the reno company to help install it when they do the electrical point and plaster ceiling.
then self software setup the devices.

existing info i got from DouYin (China tiktok):
xiaomi mijia smart home has the most widest sensors and smart home devices at affordable cost.
also, reliable xiaomi mijia apps at handphone.

questions:
1) the voltage for xiaomi mijia china is at 220V 50HZ, malaysia is 240V 50Hz, can it operate? anyone tried taobao BIG electronic appliance in malaysia? eg: Refrigerator? any issue?

2) can the china version phone app operate in malaysia to control smart home with china imported smart home hardware?

3) i see mostly fuse used in malaysia electronic appliances is 13amp, i see china mostly is at 10amp or 16amp. any impact?

4) any recommend if not xiaomi mijia smart home? any brand wide coverage at low cost? or any smart home brand famous in malaysia market?

1)220~240 still in the operation range for most devices.

for the rest of the question, i see you miss some of the Most obvious problem.

1) Google. There is tons of automation that might endup link with your google. ( Calender, Maps, Drive, Spreadsheet etc )
- iphone user can go fly kite. ( So if you are Android user, you are 3 step ahead of ios user in SmartHome )

2) U dont consider whether your China-import device can connect Google or not.

3) My experience with China-Xiaomi Product, they only work IF YOU Select SERVER = Mainland

4) if you do so, your smarthome = GG. Latency kill everything. Somemore, might not able to connect Google Service.

I am more interest how you going to design your Smarthome??
95% case, smarthome = annoyance after few months.

Are you able to Connect AI to your smarthome?
This is by far the best adaptation i can imagine. Just like jarvis to tony stark home.

"Jarvis, i feeling bad mood."

"Mr, cheer up, i am here. Lets me change the mood of this house "
- Lightning
- Aircond
- Music
