      There's a max number of devices you can run via wifi before the network goes to shit. I have 30 hue lamps plus switches and about 40 wifi devices (which is pushing it). Adding 30 wifi lamps would kill the network, not to mention most require internet access to function. If I had the funds, I'd ditch my wifi switches and smoke alarms for zwave without hesitation.

      • winstonst08 on 09/06/2020 - 13:21

        This! Wifi device is good as they provide alternatives for people who doesn't want to buy a hub and ideal for small number of devices, but when you're adding more and more, zigbee or other similar tech works better because they're more efficient and don't clog up the whole router and internet connection.

        I have many Z-Wave devices and it has been absolute hell. Z-Wave has been around for a long time but it seems to be a cottage industry full of engineers and tinkerers who don't mind spending months trying to make things work - and I'm not talking fancy automations, I'm talking about getting things to turn on and off. It's a complicated mess.

        Yes, most home routers can often only support 32 or less devices, but there are plenty cheap home WiFi routers right now that support 200+ devices, which is the same as Z-Wave. However you can add more WiFi access points to increase that number.

        Right now, WiFi sensors seem to be less mature and reliable than Z-Wave/Zigbee sensors, but I believe this will change over time.

        And yes all of the well-supported IP-based automation systems require the internet.

        Support for security/alarm systems is also something Z-Wave/Zigbee might be better at - I haven't looked into that one yet.

        • AncientWisdom on 09/06/2020 - 15:06

          What hub are you using and what brand z-waves?

          • psdillon on 09/06/2020 - 17:10

            @AncientWisdom: SmartThings Wifi hub & Aeotec switches & dimmers

            • AncientWisdom on 10/06/2020 - 11:55

              @psdillon: Hmm interesting that should be solid.

              What kind of problems have you come across?

              • psdillon on 10/06/2020 - 16:34

                @AncientWisdom: Aeotec devices that just stop responding to the network within a few days of factory reset. Factory-reset devices that can't see the network when they have 2m line-of-sight to a routing node. Smartthings itself is very slow, combined with poor UI design it's agonizingly slow trying to configure devices, even worse trying to troubleshoot them. When you have lots of devices it can take you weeks. Smartthings has many bugs and support frequently tell their uses to delete all devices and factory-reset the hub, which is just not practical when you have many devices.

                From what I've seen it looks like all the other hubs have their own problems. Even the Z-Wave chipset manufacturers software is a dogs breakfast.

                • AncientWisdom on 10/06/2020 - 19:31

                  @psdillon: It does sound like your hub is the problem.

                  I chose Hubitat but can't recommend it yet, early days. However my Aeotec nano dimmer has been rock solid.
                  I have a dual nano switch that isn't working (well working only through the hub, not the physical switch), but that's my fault for not ensuring compatibility before buying. I hope they come out with an official driver soon.

                  • psdillon on 10/06/2020 - 20:21

                    @AncientWisdom: How are you enjoying the "feature" where the dimmer won't turn the light on instantly? You can work around it by setting min and max brightness the same, but then it won't work as a dimmer.

                    • AncientWisdom on 11/06/2020 - 02:01

                      @psdillon: Light turns on instantly. It takes 1-2s to turn off however, haven't tried to look into it yet.
                      If my understanding is correct, all of that is controlled by the software on the hub, not the device itself.

                      • psdillon on 11/06/2020 - 08:13

                        @AncientWisdom: It's controlled by the device because Z-Wave network is too slow. The Aeotec dimmers don't turn on/off instantly, they ramp up from min to max brightness. By default the ramp time is 3 seconds. You can't disable the ramp. The min ramp time you can configure is 1 second. You can configure min brightness the same as max brightness so that it feels like it's instant, but then you can't control the dimming. Also setting ramp time to 1 second makes it a bit difficult to set the dimming from the switch as it goes too fast for you to catch the level you want. Depending on your lights, usually they don't come on until 30 to 50% brightness, so out of the box when you press the button nothing happens for 1 to 1.5 seconds.

                        We built two houses and put 74 dimmers throughout. You can imagine my disappointment that we can't use them as dimmers if we want instant on/off. Very expensive mistake based on expert/forum recommendations.

                        Sorry for the brain dump, but now you know as much as I wish I new when I started. :)

  • xorprime on 09/06/2020 - 12:58

    Has anyone updated the firmware of this with Tasmota? And what app do you use in IOS considering Yeti is not available in the Aus AppStore? TIA.

  • bcdk on 09/06/2020 - 13:07

    Can this be used one beside the other when plugged into a power point?

  • bargainshooter on 09/06/2020 - 13:16

    Anyone know their max power rating? The HS100 and HS110 can handle around 15A peak, making them ok for 2400w heaters. The ones that are rated at 2400w often trip when heaters start up.

    • sydneygirl on 24/06/2020 - 10:43

      I bought 4 and can only really use 1 or 2 so still have in box. I was excited about kettle but because we have one that switches itself off when done it wont work with this. Seems best for things like lamps - or if you had a simpler kettle for example. Let me know if you want them - can't see an easy way to return to Auspost.

    Anyone bought this has received an update other than the tax invoice? I tried searching the order but there's no result for it…

    • Applause on 13/06/2020 - 10:25

      If you have an account with Aus Post they usually add packages with your registered name and address automatically to your tracking list. Same thing happened here.

      I only ordered 1 but have 2 separate tracking numbers that looks to be the same, so possibly getting 2 for 1. They've enabled Saturday delivery and the first one is coming today.

      • davidl820 on 13/06/2020 - 14:42

        Thanks I was able to find the tracking after log in again to their website, it appears the items are still in VIC.

    • chalks1971 on 13/06/2020 - 21:14

      Ive received nothing else other than the Invoice. Theres nothing on my tracking

      • [Deactivated] on 15/06/2020 - 15:35

        Same with me, nothing at all as yet. Not even tracking information.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/06/2020 - 16:43

          I'm still waiting on something, anything, from them. I've had nothing at all since the day I purchased.

    • davidl820 on 15/06/2020 - 19:40

      If you are located in QLD, it will probably arrive by Wednesday. Mine just updated that it is in Redbank so I am expecting it to be delivered tomorrow.

      I received only the invoice but nothing else. Log in to "My Post" account on Australia Post website I was able to see the tracking number (and all old ones).

  • SneakyBastd on 15/06/2020 - 10:06

    I ordered 3, got them delivered in just a couple of days.
    However…
    Auspost just delivered another 3 to my door! Lol wtf.
    6 for $30.

    Wonder if they'll deliver more?

    • John Kimble on 15/06/2020 - 10:24

      Crazy. What are you going to do with the extra 3?

    • 02LyW on 15/06/2020 - 11:54

      I came here to see if anyone else got a second delivery that they didn't order. Looks like i'm not the only one.
      I only ordered one though. That one arrived last week. Then a second delivery came today.
      Weird.

        I only got double delivery as I ordered 2 sets of 2. but can't use on my kettle as planned so happy to pass on 2 or even 3 of them..

        • AncientWisdom on 24/06/2020 - 13:17

          Could you turn on private messages on your profile (or pm me) so we can sort something out?

        • AncientWisdom on 24/06/2020 - 13:20

          Btw, to use with kettle in the morning, you turn the power off and press the button before going to bed and then either set the power to turn on at a specific time or do it from your phone.

    • trex on 25/06/2020 - 14:59

      Call Auspost and get them to chase up. I received no tracking information at all. There is a tracking number for it. I made inquiries and CSR got back to me within a couple of days. I found out it's been sitting at my LPO since the 15/6. I received nothing, no emails, no tracking information in SMS or email and was NOT carded and no attempted delivery at my property despite working from home.

    Hey folks - I think I got a bad piece. It stopped working after 2 days. It was so good when it worked. I could switch on my heater using Google Assistant. Do you know who I should be reaching out to for replacement/repair ?
