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.

Back Story
Right at the beginning of my smart home journey in 2016, I have been using MCO Z-Wave smart wall switches.

I have used a mix of both Series 3 and Series 4 MCO switches. All my 1-gang switches are Series 4 (MH-S411), and all my 2-gang and 3-gang switches are Series 3 (MH-S312 and MH-S314).

Tile Sticker is the newest form factor of the Tile tracker.

You can get Tile Stickers in a pack of two for S$59 or in a pack of four for S$99 from AXTRO Sports.

If you are using Sonos One or Sonos Beam in Singapore, you will be happy to know that as of two days ago (6th November 2019), Google Assistant is available for all Sonos users in Singapore.

Previously, if you want to use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, you will need to go to your Sonos profile and change your country to the United States, as mentioned in my Sonos One blog post.
