BillyG687 on Lytmi Neo Sync Box, HDMI 2.0 4k/60hz, HDR 10+, Dolby Vision CEC US$143.65 (~A$199) Delivered @ Lytmi

No way to get at the signal using the apps on the TV. You'd have to use a Chromecast with Google TV or similar.

I didn't mind it but far weaker than 4 & 5 - the addition of separate ammo types for specific enemies is a pain and the map isn't...

Really happy with the 100W PD cable I got from them a few deals back. Seems to be solid.

I'm fairly sure the Broadlink integration is running locally - it's just sending the Base64 command via the Broadlink unit. That said, I...

Xebozone on Up to 45% off (e.g. 2x Shelly One €12.90/~A$24) + Delivery from Shelly Official

Yep, dimmer per switch. I believe one of the relay modules can do 2 switches on the 1 module.

They're not bad by any means but the Broadlink is better bang for your buck.

The Tuya app is pretty terrible for remotes though. Broadlink's isn't great but still better than Tuya. The IR version of the Broadlink is...

BigLeviathan on Up to 45% off (e.g. 2x Shelly One €12.90/~A$24) + Delivery from Shelly Official

Yep, wifi. Just put in 2 dimmer modules and they're the best for home automation. Lots of customisation and they integrate with everything.

Astronaut Joe on Xiaomi Aqara Smart Window Door Sensor 2 Pack US$20.99 (~A$28.77) Delivered @ Banggood

What's the distance like? I've had issues when getting to the limits of the Zigbee range

Yanoflies on Xiaomi Aqara Smart Window Door Sensor 2 Pack US$20.99 (~A$28.77) Delivered @ Banggood

Conbee is amazing. Works flawlessly with all my sensors and other Zigbee devices.

New code used and order went through. Was sitting on pending payment for a few minutes though.

I've noticed that if it shows as unpaid in the app, it will bounce

Just got notification that my second repayment was.also refunded. EBay support is now unavailable - it's ridiculous that this is still an...

No, it sets up a separate Zigbee network so you don't use the hub anymore

sumukh on [Pre Order] ConBee II Zigbee USB Gateway $59.99 (33% off) + Free Shipping @ Smart Guys

From memory, they're all Wifi-enabled. The Conbee is for connecting Zigbee devices into a home automation setup like Home Assistant.

Paid $80 before it was locally available and worth every cent. Has been rock solid for months and new devices are constantly added.
