Moondog replied to julz on Philips Hue E27 White Ambience LED Smart Bulb Starter Kit White Ambience $99.50 + Delivery @ Shopping Square

Moondog replied to bargaino on Philips Hue E27 White Ambience LED Smart Bulb Starter Kit White Ambience $99.50 + Delivery @ Shopping Square
I use the Hue bridge and it works perfectly. I'm moving away from Tuya - hate relying on the cloud and localtuya is a PITA to set up. I've...

Moondog replied to Dizz on Xiaomi Aqara Cube Zigbee Smart Controller US$14.99 (~A$20.42) + Free Priority Shipping @ GeekBuying
You're spot on - they aren't very practical and they're a bit unreliable. I have two, one is being set up for the toddler (different...

Sonoff contact sensors are pretty poor quality. Some arrive broken, the batteries they come with only last a couple of months, and even...

You wouldn't be able to share those scripts would you? I love the product but the rain delay function is pretty ordinary.

Well that's pretty cool, I'm just about to migrate from the Pi to a NUC - I suppose it would work with that too. Might buy a set and see.
