After bricking my Nest Hello, I decided to get the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K (Wired) from Eufy US Website. I chose Eufy after reading Domotics review on Eufy Doorbell 2K (Wired). The author, Mike, also encountered the same thing with his Nest Hello Doorbell (Wired). He eventually gave up and bought a Eufy Video Doorbell 2K (Wired). So I thought, it works for him, it should work for me.

I paid US$115.48 (S$156) for the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K (Wired). That is after a US$40 discount from their retail price of US$155.48. Shipping from my freight forwarder, HopShopGo, to Singapore is an additional US$19.96 (S$27) via DHL.

Bought the Google Nest Hub (2nd Generation) from a Lazada store named Project KR for S$99.99 during their flash sale on 9th September 2021. Shipping is free since I have collected the free shipping voucher. If not, it will be S$1.49.

For S$99.99, it is an excellent deal since, in the US, it is already selling for US$99.99, and you have not factored in shipping to Singapore yet.

Bought the Xiaomi Mi Multifunctional Digital Clock during a random flash sale on Lazada where it was selling for S$16.99 with free delivery to Singapore. Its usual retail price is S$19.80.

The digital clock comes with a 3.7″ e-ink display and you can connect it to the Mi Home App (available for both iOS and Android) using Bluetooth. However, your Mi Home app region must be set to China. I am using Singapore, and hence I am not able to detect the digital clock. I can’t be bothered to switch the region just because I intend to use it as a display.

I chanced upon Amazon.sg yesterday and saw that Amazon have Amazon Echo (4th Generation) and Amazon Echo Dot (4th Generation) available internationally.

These are the international version, so that they will come with the correct adapter plug. Also, note that some Alexa Skills may not be available for all countries.

Unlike the Apple AirTag Leather Key Ring, there are two variants of the Apple AirTag Loop.

One is the Apple AirTag Polyurethane Loop (or, in short, AirTag Loop), and it comes in for colors, Electric Orange, Sunflower, Deep Navy, and white. It retails for S$45, or if you are on Apple Corporate Employee Purchase Program (EPP), it is S$40.66.

If you find the Apple AirTag Leather Key Ring too expensive and you don’t need the luxury or premium touch to your keys, you can consider getting those OEM AirTag Key Ring.

I bought two from Shoppee and they only cost S$3.32 each with shipping to Singapore an additional S$1.

Apple AirTag Leather Key Ring retails for S$55 or if you are on Apple Corporate Employee Purchase Program (EPP), it cost S$49.22.

It is available in three colors, Baltic Blue, Saddle Brown, and Product Red.

After a long-awaited time, Apple finally launched its own version of a lost item tracker, called AirTag.

I got mine on the 4th May 2021, four days after the official launch because I chose to have it engraved.

Bought the Sonoff Micro USB Smart Adaptor from Lazada for S$13.99. Shipping is free as I got the free shipping coupon due to Lazada’s year-end sale.

Sonoff Micro USB Smart Adaptor is a no-frill device that allows you to control your USB device remotely. The device connects to your wi-fi network and can be added via the eWeLink app.
