the fan manual button can be pressed and leave it on kind? the old type ? or just digital....

if those mechnical button u jus leave it on, command ur smart plug n then it works when on.

but if urs is on power, den the digital switch need to select, cannot rembr the last setting, den i tink no choice liao, unless u have remote for it, mayb can integrate wit rm pro or sumthing.

Actually you already answered it yourself.

Correction, smart plug works. The problem is the device itself.
Your fan has IR remote? If so, can consider IR blaster to turn it on.

hmm. then actually smart plugs are really case to case basis. im trying to form a list of items to buy for my smart home and i cant find much uses for the smart plugs. because more appliances need to press even after remotely switch on the powerpoint.

any examples on what u guys use it on?

Bear in mind z-wave has regional frequency. Hence if you buy Samsung connect from usa, Z-wave products for our region will not be compatible to it.

Can share the cost of the fibaroroller shutter?

 

[rwx001]

Can share the cost of the fibaroroller shutter?

$95 .......

 

[sellwatch]

$95 .......

Seems pretty reasonable. Is there any reason that is holding u back?

 

[rwx001]

Option 1 is nicer and cheaper but not local standard.
All the items must get from amazon US.
Option 2 easier to get local support.

 

[waterfoe]

If going with option 1, how are u going to ensure the device is suitable to SG voltage?

Leave is to ID to settle the setup.
I will settle the configuration.
