This is the best addition to my smart home as I don't always have to use my phone and it works great with home assistant, I am using z2m v2 please see below sample automation as it can be a bit tricky to trigger the events
alias: Living Room Lights
triggers:
- event_type: event.living_room_light_action
event_data:
event_type: single_right
trigger: event
actions:
- target:
entity_id: switch.living_room_bulb2
action: light.toggle
mode: single
And also another one for the hold function
alias: Toggle Garage Door with Button 1
description: Toggle the garage door when button 1 is single-clicked.
triggers:
- topic: zigbee2mqtt/zbutton_main/action
payload: 1_hold
trigger: mqtt
conditions: []
actions:
- action: cover.toggle
target:
entity_id:
- cover.garage_door_2
data: {}
mode: single
Dispatch and Delivery was quick and efficient, Turnaround from when payment
was made to goods arriving at my door. Cannot fault this supplier, as I
received notification on whole process start to end
Very, very good. Installed 11 of them and they went up without any issues. The capacitor is a nice size too.
Everywhere else I search for a On/Off IoT Tuya WiFi enabled sprinkler I was faced with:
* Dependency on a bridge.
* Much higher cost.
Neither of which I wanted.
I emailed Digital Life SA and all my questions were answered.
* No dependency on a bridge.
* Native adoption into the Toya SmartLife App.
* Clear instruction on how to adopt, and what it is called in the SmartLife app (nothing special - just simply, power on a Add device - it is as simple as Ashlen explained.)
Because of very clear instruction and background research on the company was legit, I was confident to place the order.
A few days later, I considered setting up automation using my Home Assistant - only accessible via my Isolated IoT WiFi SSID with WireGuard VPN to my server, I host in Azure, behind an OPNSense Firewall.
I didn't even need to use my server!
From the SmartLife App, I set astronorticaical timers,
and set the duration of the sprinkler based on total Litres per cycle.
Currently I set it to 200 Litres 30 mins before sunrise.
and 300 Litres 30 mins before sunset,
Except if rain is expected on the day!
and not to exceed 15 minutes per cycle.
Pretty cool!
If you want to know my first time experience with Digital Life SA.
Just go to hello peter and search Digital Life Investments and check the review from Tim.
Great for monitoring consumption and managing your geyser.
I use these for automations on the dishwasher and washing machine to change certain lights in the house to Green to indicate a cycle is finished as well as send notifications to our phones. Now I want one of these on each outlet in my house
Just started using a set of four. Their capacity and voltage seem to be as promised. Previously I have used the usb c charged D cells for years and through more than 400 cycles without any problems.
The plug works well for on/off, but I would not recommend buying the product if you care about the power monitoring capabilities. The numbers are way off. I plugged in heater pulling 1500W, the plug would read 600W. I plugged in a computer pulling about 84W, the plug reported 4W. I tried with a few other items, vacuum, pressure waster...the number where off all the time.
The device apparently has a firmware bug where some of the relays may show as online of offline even when not physically on or off. This does not seem to be a single 'dud', but rather a broad issue. Supposedly, this is possible to workaround in Zigbee2MQTT, by not relying on the device's state reporting, although not an ideal fix.
Also, sometimes switching can be slow, almost like the device's cache or memory stalls for a couple of seconds.
Other than these issues, it switches fine, pairing with Z2M was effortless, and the dimming works well.
This vibration sensor is ultra sensitive and will pick up the smallest bump against a glass panel. What I also like about it is its small size which is important for windows with a view.
I replaced my old alarm system with a Tuya WG107T alarm system and ordered 13 more window and door sensors from Digital Life. They supplied me with the H502DS sensors which are more sensitive and smaller than the old sensors (of my previous alarm) and thus less visible. They also use the coin shaped 3023 battery which is less expensive than the previous sensors' batteries.
The lock exceeded all my expectations. The build quality is excellent, installation was as simple as a regular door knob, and the fact that it can be controlled by the app is what gives it a 5 star review.
The unit is connected via Zigbee to a LAN home control system. It uses level sensors, also read by the home control system. When the pool water level is low and the pump is not running, it opens the feed line for a set time per day to fill the pool. It works very well.
A big thank you for the excellent service provided by Digital Life.
The product has not yet been installed due to time restraints; yet I can tell it is a high quality product.
It has all the functionality I require; so I just need to do the installation. Hopefully this weekend ahead of us.
Switch works as stated. Power monitor works as advertised. Good quality and great value for money
4CH Zigbee Gate Relay Switch, Works as advertised , sturdy build
Using it with a smoke detector, no issues and glad that I can recharge this.
Have it set close to a Zigbee Router (signal is a bit weak), paired easily with Zigbee2MQTT and all functions are exposed.
This picks up LP Gas with no issue despite the product description, so I assume this is the model that picks up 4 different gases as suggested by the manual (mounting position depends on type).
Due to this however, keep in mind that if you usually disinfect surfaces or cook with alcohol, this will inadvertently trigger the device as well. This may or may not be a dealbreaker for you but I’m unsure of any other Zigbee products on the market that won’t pick this up.
Overall, very happy with this.
