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

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...

dontgooffline on Philips Hue White & Colour Ambiance Smart Bulb Non Bluetooth [E27] - $60 + $8 Delivery ($0 with $100 Order) @ Simply LEDs

The limited time deal has ended apparently. It's a shame the color Hues are so expensive. I suppose they'll go down in price (as the white...

Paid $99 at Bunnings Bendigo today - 2nd last one, on the clearance shelf.

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...

The motion sensors aren't bad. I ordered three, one failed after a couple of months but the other two are running pretty much perfectly...

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

This is weird as that's what I paid for mine and the battery died today. And they were great!

Tuttle on Holman WX1 Tap Timer and Wi-Fi Hub $89 + $10 Postage ($0 VIC C&C) @ Malvern Irrigation

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


Moondog commented on Philips Hue Motion Sensor $50 + $6.95 Standard Shipping (Free Shipping with Club Catch) @ Catch.com.au
I have Hue, Aqara, and Sonoff motion sensors. The Hue is the most reliable, most accurate and also measures temperature and light levels,...

Thunderchunt on Xiaomi Mijia Bluetooth Temperature Humidity Sensor US$6.99 (~A$9.62) Delivered @ Hekka

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.

Shame this isn't ZigBee, it'd be great for home assistant
