How you guys install the Yeelight Ceiling? As in where to "install" the earth wire?
haha,have fun!!!
Hi Asus Epoxy, yest my august 3rd gen lock arrived. Installed and performance is great. Quite responsive, 1sec lock or unlock. But the motor abit noisy... Prefer it to b quieter. Haha... But i take the noise as indication dat lock is in operation. Size wise abit bulky... But i hav no issue, is wife's comment. Haha
Tonight will link it up wit Alexa and hp google-assistant and try.
cool! let me know how the proximity unlock works for you!
US Z Wave products can't handle 220v, but i don't intend to use US Z Wave products that use AC current.
Light switches are Xiaomi Zigbee (which although doesnt comply with Zigbee HA standards with suitable DH) can be linked to Smartthings.
My Wall plugs are Sonoff based wifi power stripe with native support for Google Assistant / Amazon Alexa
The rest are direct wifi based products who don't require a hub.
Z Wave sensors and switches are expensive, so there's no incentive to switch to them for me
How are you using your echo and echo dots?Very helpful guys. Got some devices from them.

Hi AsusEpoxy,
Understand you managed to link the Xiaomi Aqara Zigbee switches with Samsung SmartThings hub. Any stable handlers you can recommend?
Did you manage to use Alexa/Google assistance to turn on the aqara switches? I don’t think the default Xiaomi gateway is able to integrate well with Amazon Echo (my personal experience).
Thanks in advance!
the handlers are about the same actually. however if u have the patience, save yourself the trouble ba, Xiaomi announcing upcoming support for Alexa and Homekit soon
Thanks AsusEpoxy,
Thanks so much. I will try out the different handlers for now and wait for Xiaomi to officially support Alexa.
It's great to see more home automation enthusiasts coming on board especially after Google Home officially launched in SG. The features set will only get better and better. Just hope Google doesn't geolock their features like Amazon does with Alexa.
Hope to see more GH enthusiasts coming on board to help the others out. I've only gone so far as to integrate Google search on my AA
