I have been using Ariston water storage heaters since I was young. After having my own house, I continued using Ariston as I was familiar with the brand.

For my first house, I bought the Ariston Andris Lux. It was a “dumb” water storage heater, so I have to wire up the switch to be smart, so I can control it remotely.

Thanks to Souky, I managed to be one of the first customers in Singapore to install the Aqara D200i Smart Door Lock. Not to be confused with the D200, which is sold only in China, the D200i is the global/international version of the D200.

Besides being able to add to the Southeast Asia region in the Aqara app, The other significant difference is that the D200i supports remote unlocking.

Orange is my favorite color, but sadly, with the Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple has removed the orange Alpine Loop from its lineup. Now, Apple only has Blue, Indigo, and Olive.

Luckily, I still managed to find the Orange Alpine Loop on Shopee’s authorized Apple Store.

Aqara TVOC Air Quality Monitor is another sensor from Aqara that can measure the temperature, humidity, and TVOC.

TVOC stands for Total Volatile Organic Compounds. TVOC groups a wide range of organic chemical compounds to simplify reporting when these are present in ambient air or emissions.

No surprise here, Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Clear Case retails for the same price as previous years at S$75. If you are on Apple’s Employee Purchase Plan (EPP), you can get it for S$68.04, a 9% discount.

Shipping is also fast. I ordered on the announcement date, 13th September 2023, and I got it via DHL the next day, 14th September 2023.

Bought the Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor during 9/9 from Souky’s Lazada Store for S$22.75 after the usual double-digit sales day discount. If not, it retails for S$27.90.

This HomeKit compatible small wireless sensor measures temperature, humidity, and air pressure.

All models of iPhone 15 will be launching on Friday, 22nd September 2023.

With regards to 5G/LTE networks in Singapore, we are getting the following models:

The Ugreen Nexode 100W Charger is the bigger brother of the Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger that I got a few months ago.

As the name implies, it is a 100W charger, but instead of three ports in the Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger, this charger has four ports: three USB-C ports and one USB-A port.

Belkin BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad is a newly launched product in August 2023 by Belkin which also happens to be the smaller brother of the BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad.

You can tell from the name that it can wireless charge two devices simultaneously: an iPhone at 15W and a wireless Qi device at 5W. Since it is MagSafe certified, your iPhone can charge at 15W.
