First time posting a deal

Tontine Wifi-enabled electric blanket is 50% off at Spotlight currently and can be combined with the $40 off purchases over $100 code to bring the queen down from $300 to $110 or the King size from $320 to $120. Edit: Have to be a VIP member which is freeto use the voucher.

I used a picture of the voucher in store to purchase.

I haven’t used it yet as I won’t be getting my king size bed until next week but I’m hoping the wifi functionality works well for preheating.

    I bought two of these already with the vouchers.

    Not bad.

    Integrated with Tuya fine.

    Each side is a seperate device in Tuya.

    There aren't too many available in stores - even though there stock checkers may say they have lots. I managed to get the last one at Burleigh and last at Coomera, none at Ashmore - despite reasonable stock levels shown at all 3 stores.

    • bargainbetty3192 on 18/05/2022 - 09:29

            @Joker042: Gee whiz, so naive. Electric blankets have been a very common form of house fire. As the wires bend, they can create fire risk, a bed goes up in flames super fast.

            I don't mind using an electric blanket t preheat a bed 15 minutes before I get into it, but I would NEVER leave one running unattended or whilst sleeping.

              As far as "very common form of house fire" I'm failing to see many reported instances of this in Australila in recent years. Safety regulations for bedding have come a long way since the 70s when this was an actual common cause of house fires. If you want to call people naive, maybe update your old wives tales.

              In fact i'm only seeing 1 or 2 in the news at all - Australia or not. It seems like electric blankets are safer than butter knives these days.

                    @Joker042: I understand that things are historically getting better (not just blankets), but I don't see anything wrong with having human's natural instinct in the work in this case — why would you be advantageous when it comes to warming the bed? I'd save the energy for something else. Just personal preference tho.

                      @Aloa: 20W for 15 minutes is 5Wh. That's a cost of 0.125 cents. That's less than a cent a week to pre-heat my bed. That's one dollar every two years if you did it all year (and you won't).

                      You may be overthinking this.

                How about instead of being arrogant and aggressive, you take a breath and actually think about it?

                If you turn it on, you'll be there while it is on, so you (or your smoke alarms) will notice your (profanity) bed is on fire won't you? So you're more likely to get the fire under control with a. fire extinguisher. Compared to if you're not home.

                There's also a big difference between you turning it on for a few hours compared to some asshat turning it on all day (or more if you don't notice when you get home).

      There are heaps I guess:

      • If you keep forgetting to switch on the blanket when it's cold and you are running your nightly tea cycle in the kitchen (eg check if temp outside is < certain degrees, wattage on kitchen outlet #4 is > xyz and time of day is within range of 9pm to 12pm)
      • If you, like me, live a 3km walk from the local pub and are walking home drunk and want to collapse into a warm bed
      • If you, like me, often fight with your partner and share a bed - stop the electric blanket on their side via your mobile as "you reach to put your phone on charge" and then swear and hour later when they are freezing you never did anything!

        These mesh skirts are terrible and cause the blanket to move around and the bottom sheet to roll around. The manufacturers like it because the blanket will fit on the bed and even the expensive brands use it. In fact, I have not been able to find one that uses cotton sheeting anymore. Eventually, I had to remove the mesh and make a skirt from cotton sheeting and sew it on.

      Warming your bed has never been easier, now you can control your bed heating on your mobile. This Tontine Comfortech Wi-fi Electric Blanket has been cleverly designed to be easy to use - simply install the Tuya Smart app on your mobile to get started. Alternatively, it comes with a detachable controller if your phone is out of reach, with 3 heat settings. Comes with an automatic off timer and is machine washable.

    • Joker042 on 18/05/2022 - 09:50
      +1

      That's a great solution and it's exactly what I do. But this lets you contorl the temperature as well, so if you have the blanket set to come on at 9pm, you could have it set to low power if it's 12 degrees or less outside, or high power if it's 8 degrees or less (for example).

      Or you could switch the blanket from high to low power at 1am so you don't wake up sweaty at 3am. etc…

    I have a Breville electric blanket connected to a smart plug. The blanket is always left in the on position and the smart plug actually controls the on/off on a schedule.

    Can't control the temperature but I rarely change that so on/off is really all that we need. This product looks great if you don't have one or can't control on/off with a smart plug, but if you have an existing blanket you can get most of this functionality out of a plug

  • furyou on 18/05/2022 - 10:12

    Explain to me - where does the wire go? Does it mean when I get out of bed, I get caught in the wire and have to duck under it? Or is it at the foot, and I often like to kick my feet out so they're not covered, and I get tangled up?

        I currently have a dumb electric blanket with two of the Brilliant smart plugs from Officeworks. The trick is to get a dumb blanket with a mechanical switch (mine slides between 0 / 1 / 2 / 3) so it preserves state on loss of power. The downside here is that if you sleep with it on 1 (sue me) you sometimes turn it off with the mechanical controller at 3am, then forget, so when you try to turn it on from downstairs the next night, the smart plug is supplying power to a mechanically deactivated controller. Having a proper first class integration means you could change between 1 / 2 / 3 (neat) or 0 (game changer) from afar.

        On the Tuya bit - I try to flash Tasmota on everything, so if my home internet goes down everything still works with HA over LAN. My kettle uses the Tuya integration because there has never been (and probably will never be) a convenient time to open it up; and it is noticeably less reliable than every other device in my house. I've debugged a few times and it's a server issue; I think the Tuya endpoints OOM under high QPS, because it's often the same time of day and even when they don't 500 the request latency goes up by a factor of 2. People say "isn't 99.9% good enough?" but it really isn't - light switches and buttons are close to perfect in their dumb form, and anything less than that in the "smart" version drives me up the wall. And of course Tuya is a moving target, even when it works; I've had to refresh my auth / change the API integration twice in less than a year.

        Flashing Tasmota onto Tuya devices used to be dead simple (no disassembly required, do it over wifi) but then they got pissy about that, so you had to do it over serial with a little bit of soldering; but that was still annoying for them, so now there are Tuya devices out there using new chips that are totally incompatible with Tasmota. There's no way to tell what this one is without somebody opening it up and showing a picture of the guts, which is a big ask for OzB. You could also check the Tasmota forums / wiki, somebody might be on it already.

        Tl;dr Tuya works with HA but I would strongly recommend Tasmota if you care about reliability / set and forget.
