Iv already got a Lifx bulb, im just looking for a button i can use to chanage between modes. For exmaple i could press it at night and then go into night mode and then press it again and go into day mode.
I'm also building a Product Catalogue that will give some good options.
LIFX has a community driver but not a native one. If you're going to use mostly smart bulbs, then Hue and Sengled are two of the most compatible here in Aus.
Have you looked at the Xiaomi/Aqara devices.
Buttons/Motion sensors/Humidity/Temp/Switches etc.
The price point (in the UK anyway) is good.
The sensors are small and for me they work very well and stay connected.
Might be worth a look.
Apart from that, welcome and have fun getting and using your gizmo's.
TP-Link Outlets have a community driver for them, the WIFI based ones aren't natively supported, but you can go down the firmware flashing route on a few of them if you're game. Otherwise look for the Z-Wave Outlets.
I’m fairly new to this and can say the tp-link outlets with community drivers have been really good. the Samsung smart things buttons worked easily as well.
Customs simply dont have the capacity to check low value items (Under 1,000 AUD) coming in for GST compliance - If they cant get the companies OS to pay it then it doesnt get paid and you wont have to pay it.
FWIW, I used to work for Aus Post when the gov brought this rule in. Both AP and Customs told the gov in no-uncertain terms that they had neither the capacity, not the inclination to collect import GST on the govs behalf. That is why the gov made the big online market places carry the can for collection.
Decent controller, especially for the price.
